It has long been rumored that Apple's iPhone 17 Pro will have a completely redesigned camera array on the back. However, a new report now tells us that all the designs we have seen so far are wrong.
On Friday, Apple leaker and Front Page Tech host Jon Prosser released the "real" design of the new iPhone 17 Pro in a YouTube video. According to Prosser, Apple's new flagship will have a redesigned back (the front of the phone remains largely the same), but the cameras will not be arranged horizontally.
Instead, the iPhone 17 Pro will have the same, triangular arrangement of rear cameras, but they will now be housed in a large camera bump that basically spans the width of the phone and is a darker color than the rest of the phone.
This makes sense. There are technical reasons why Apple would want to keep the current camera arrangement; one of them, as Prosser points out in the video, is that there is not enough room at the top of the phone to get a fully horizontal camera setup.
The images Prosser shared in the video (below) are renders, but Prosser says he has seen the device himself and confirmed the design from multiple sources. While it is hard to believe - it is very, very rare for someone to get a view of the real new iPhone so far in advance of its release - it is certainly possible.
As for other changes, Prosser also denied reports that the Dynamic Island on the front of the phone is getting smaller. He said he did not know much about the materials Apple is using for the iPhone or its internal components, but he cited sources who say the phone feels lighter in their hands.
None of this is official, and we won't know for sure if it's really true until Apple unveils the new iPhone, which is likely to happen in September.
