Hello, I’m Technologytodaynow. Recently, the renders of Apple’s next-generation iPhone model, the iPhone 17 Pro, were unveiled. According to IT media outlet Phone Arena, the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup this fall will likely see a lot of changes compared to its predecessors, so let’s take a closer look at what will happen.
iPhone 17 Pro Backside Design Rendering Leaked
Changes in rear camera arrangement
In the meantime, there has been a steady stream of expectations that the rear camera modules of the iPhone 17 Pro will be placed horizontally like Google Pixel phones. However, according to the IT tipster Margin Bu(@MajinBuOfficial), the size of the camera module, the position of the flash, and the placement of the lidar sensor appear to have changed, although the camera setup will be similar to what it used to be in the actual prototype. Analyzing the rendering images will maintain the layout of the rear camera module, but it will also increase in size, which will likely affect the user’s sense of grip.
iPhone 17 Pro Design Confirmation and Apple’s Worries
The design of the iPhone 17 Pro has not been confirmed yet. As Apple is considering various design options, attention is being paid to how it will be released in the future. There were previous rumors that Google would change the design of the camera module for the Pixel phone, but personally, I don’t think Google has changed much.
Apply innovative manufacturing technology
Furthermore, citing information from Fixed Focus Digital, the IT media McRumors said that the new glass-to-metal bonding technology will allow the iPhone 17 to seamlessly improve the boundaries between the edges and the back cover. According to IT tipster Fixed Focus Digital, vendors are introducing new manufacturing processes, and Apple has developed innovative technologies to facilitate the transition between different materials. Specifically, the camera bump and back cover connections will be designed on an inclined surface for a more sophisticated design.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Material Changes
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are said to use aluminum instead of conventional titanium frames. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to come with an aluminum frame, with the top being aluminum and the bottom being glass for wireless charging.
New form of camera module
And the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera module is expected to have an elongated oval design similar to that of Google’s Pixel phones. The change is expected to play a significant role in the iPhone 17 series.
Conclusion
We took a closer look at the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera design and material changes.
Personally, I don’t think a horizontal camera design like Google would suit me, but if that happens, I think the grip will be different from before.
