Recent leaks and rumors indicate that the iPhone 17 series is set for a significant redesign, with Apple drawing inspiration from Google Pixel 9 models. Among the biggest changes is the introduction of a bold rear camera island for the iPhone 17 Pro, which has divided opinions among fans and critics alike. However, a concept video by a talented artist suggests that this new design could be quite appealing.
While some may argue that this move could jeopardize Apple's iconic status, it's clear that the iPhone is due for a fresh look. No matter the resemblance to Pixel devices, the revamped iPhone 17 lineup promises a departure from previous aesthetics. For those who prefer the classic design, the base model iPhone 17 will reportedly maintain the look of the iPhone 16. Alternatively, the iPhone 17 Air is designed to have a slimmer camera island, reflecting a style similar to other Pixel phones. But how striking does the iPhone 17 Pro look under detailed visuals? Take a look at the concept footage for yourself.

While the iPhone 17 series may face challenges in overall sales, I believe Apple will successfully navigate these hurdles, ensuring the phones resonate with consumers. Already, hints of Apple's unique design ethos are becoming evident in the iPhone 17 Pro, and we can expect further enhancements. The iPhone 17 will likely provide a more complete user experience compared to the iPhone 16, particularly with the anticipated debut of a revamped Siri and substantial upgrades to the device itself.
