For months, we have arrived multiple leaks on the design of the iPhone 17 Pro, feeding the expectations of the most faithful fans of Apple. There was talk of a housing with a bicolor finish, a camera bar in the style of the Google Pixel and a chassis that would leave the titanium to incorporate aluminum.
However, if you expected a radical change, it is better that you lower the revolutions: the latest information suggests that the new iPhone will look quite similar to the current iPhone 16 Pro. And no, it is not a joke.
What will the iPhone 17 pro be
According to the journalist Mark Gurman, one of the most reliable voices of the Apple Universe, the iPhone 17 Pro will keep the current aesthetics. Finally we will not see a rear design in two tones or that supposed extreme change that the concepts and leaks promised. In his weekly bulletin, Gurman has cooled the spirits ensuring that we will not see “a particularly bold appearance”. The aesthetic revolution that many expected seems to have diluted in favor of more content adjustments, although not insignificant.
Where there will be changes will be in the cameras module. Apple is expected to give a twist to the design of this element, which could adopt a new disposition or resize significantly. It is the only wink visible to a renovation that, according to the company's own sources, will be the most important from the iPhone 12 in 2020. Even so, none of that will look like the renders that have circulated online, which shows that Apple has played the mistake, like so many other times.
This more conservative approach could disappoint those who expected a clear break with the above, but it can also be read as a measured strategy: Apple would be keeping its true letters by 2027, the year in which the twenty anniversary of the iPhone. And if we take as a reference what was the launch of the iPhone X in 2017, which marked a new era in the design of the smartphones, it is logical to think that the Cupertino company wants to make history again in two years.
Folding iPhone: It will arrive in 2027
In that context, the theory of Apple will present strength will present in 2027 not only an iPhone with a greater integration of the crystal into its structure, but also the expected folding model. Yes, that same device that has been talking about at least five years, but always seems to be “a couple of years” to come true. Gurman's sources assure that 2027 is the date marked in red for this long -awaited product, which would serve as the golden brooch to a round celebration.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro, judging by this latest information, will not offer a transgressive redesign, but could bet on a new balance between aluminum and glass that not only seeks lightness, but also a better heat management and greater compatibility with some technologies, such as the wireless load system. Apple, in its usual line, prefers to take small steps when it comes to evolving than making a jump to the void.
So if you were waiting for an totally different iPhone 17, maybe it is better than reformulating your expectations. The real change seems to be reserved for 2027.
