A recent supply chain leak gave us our first look at the chassis of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro with a Pixel-like camera visor. We have a new report from the leakster China Instant DigitalWhich claims it won’t be the final design, and we’ll see the return of the familiar triangular camera setup. A new rumor claims that the back of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature a different look, but won’t include a camera island.

As is the case with these types of rumors, it’s all speculation at this point, and it’s hard to verify that it’s true. The source of the new rumor, in particular, has a mixed track record in terms of predictions, with some key contributors being the yellow iPhone 14 color, the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 series, and some leaks about the Apple Watch Series 9 and M4. iPad Pro.
Last month, rumors suggested that the 17 Pro series was rumored to go back to aluminum frames but those claims have been challenged once again with the latest rumor suggesting titanium frames.
