This design would mark a turning point with respect to the previous generations, where the cameras have always been willing independently on the chassis of the device, and always in the upper left of the rear panel, within a frame or vertical module.
In the published video, Jon Prosser, his presenter, says that the camera bar will be considerably larger than many renders had anticipated. On the left side, the lenses will be located in their usual triangular disposition, while in the right the LED flash, the rear microphone and the lidar sensor will be aligned. In addition, it is mentioned that the camera module will have a Finishing in a darker tone that the rest of the device, giving rise to a double hue design that could become one of the identity signs of the iPhone 17 Pro.
What is not yet clear is whether this change responds to a functional improvement or if it is purely aesthetic. Apple usually justify its design modifications with advances in hardware, as happened with Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro, so it is possible that the new camera bar offers some important improvement in photography or video recording. However, for now there are no concrete details about improvements in the sensors or in the camera stabilization system.
Prosser says that this information comes from multiple sources with access to the design plans of the iPhone 17 Pro and claims to have seen the device in person. Although it has not confirmed whether this redesign will also apply to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, it is most likely that both models share the same design. There has also been talk of the existence of a iPhone 17 Airan ultradelgated model that would follow the same aesthetic line, although only with a rear camera. It will be the finest iPhone.

The design of the new camera bar remembers the last Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, who also chose a horizontal disposition in a prominent module. However, Apple would maintain its classic triangular disposition of the lenses, differentiating from Google's proposal.

In 2020, he was the first in reveal the design of the AIRTAG Months before its launch and was also attentive to advance all the details of the iPad Mini 6. However, on other occasions their predictions have not been fulfilled, such as when he assured that the Apple Watch Series 7 would have flat edges.
As the date of presentation of the iPhone 17 approaches, scheduled for September 2025, it is likely that more leaks and details arise about this design change. If confirmed, we would be facing one of the most important redesign in the recent history of the iPhone, with a completely new visual commitment and that could mark a trend in the future of the Pro range.
