Another photo of back of Apple iPhone 17 released, shows new design


Another early image of an iPhone 17 model has appeared and it confirms an earlier rumor. Namely, about a modified look. Instead of a camera module, Apple would apply a camera bar, similar to the Google Pixel. How seriously should we take this?

The photo below comes from X user @MajinBuOfficial. This person previously correctly predicted various Apple products before its unveiling. Then it often involved information and photos of iPhone molds. This time we get an image of an, allegedly, real part.

Which iPhone 17 series model this back cover belongs to is still unclear. We see one round cutout on the left, no doubt for a camera. Apple applies at least two and up to three cameras for the iPhone 16, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. It is therefore not inconceivable that we are looking at the back of the thin iPhone 17 Air.

Probably not the new iPhone SE

But this is pure speculation for now. Only when Apple officially announces the iPhone 17 series in late 2025 will we know for sure. By the way, there is another iPhone model that will soon be announced with a single camera; the new iPhone SE. Earlier rumors about it spoke of a camera in corner. So that one seems to be dropped.
