These CAD images (digital plans generated by 3D computer), shared by the Sonny Dickson filter, confirm the rumors that we have listening to a redesign inspired by the Google Pixel, with a module of cameras in the form of a horizontal bar that covers the entire width of the device.
What will the iPhone 17 be
In this way, Apple will surprise many by changing its iconic camera module. On the other hand, one of the models that will get the most attention will be the iPhone 17 Aira new ultradelgated device that will replace the iPhone Plus in the alignment. This device, lighter and more compact, will have a single rear camera sensor, so it will not have the ability to record space video or capture 3D photos, unless Apple has some innovative solution in mind. This sensor is expected to be the same as 48 megapixels which is already found in the iPhone 16, which would guarantee photographic quality at the height of expectations.
The most premium models, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, will be the ones that experience the most drastic change. Apple will leave the classic Triple Chamber square module in favor of a Aluminum bar which will cross the back of the phone from side to side. In this arrangement, the three main lenses will remain on the left side, while the flash, the lidar sensor and the rear microphone will be aligned vertically on the right side. This design decision could be motivated for aesthetic reasons, but also for possible improvements in taking images and video.
The iPhone 17 will change completely
Another interesting detail is that the edges of the camera module on the new iPhone 17 will have a softer transition with the rear of the device. According to rumors, Apple will use a new manufacturing process that Combine glass and metal To achieve more fluid and elegant integration.
For those who prefer a more traditional design, The standard iPhone 17 will maintain the classic rear camera configurationwithout adopting the new horizontal bar. This model will be the most familiar option within the new range, although it is not yet known whether it will have improvements in the specifications of its sensors or in image processing.
Multiple sources have confirmed these changes, which indicates that Apple has practically finished the design of the iPhone 17. As usual, the official presentation is expected to take place in September, so the possibilities that these renders are precise are quite high. There are still many details to know, such as their new screens technology, how will your battery or even the power of the terminal be. If you liked the current design, prepare, because the iPhone 17 will be very different from what Apple has accustomed us.
