Many iPhone enthusiasts have been unsettled by the recent leaks of the iPhone 17 Pro's camera design. However, according to reputable sources, the depicted two-tone rear camera bar is not an accurate representation of the final product. Renowned tech analyst Mark Gurman has debunked these renderings and assures that while the layout of the camera array will feature a horizontal bar at the top, it will maintain the familiar triangular arrangement seen since the iPhone 11 Pro.
Gurman further reveals that the camera bar will match the color of the device, contrary to the contrasting tones shown in the renders. The overall design of the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to stay true to Apple's current aesthetic, with minimal deviations from previous models. Despite the subtle changes, the device's front view is said to closely resemble its predecessor, the iPhone 16 Pro. It is also speculated that these design elements will extend to the larger variant, the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Apple is rumored to be saving its major iPhone redesign for the iPhone 20 series, anticipated to feature a significant increase in glass components. This forthcoming design shift marks a pivotal moment for the iconic smartphone, which initially disrupted the industry with its introduction in 2007 by Apple's visionary leader, Steve Jobs. The last notable redesign, the iPhone X in 2017, introduced groundbreaking features like an edge-to-edge display and Face ID, replacing Touch ID.
Looking ahead, speculations suggest that Apple might embrace a portless design with the rumored iPhone 17 Air, originally slated for release this year but potentially delayed to coincide with the momentous occasion of the iPhone's 20th anniversary. This strategic decision could set the stage for a truly revolutionary milestone in iPhone history.
