Unveiling the iPhone 17’s Camera Designs: What to Expect
The speculation surrounding the camera configurations of the upcoming iPhone 17 has been rampant. Are we going to see a continuation of the current rear design, or will Apple introduce a new aesthetic with variations ranging from a sleek horizontal bar to an expansive band? Recent leaks have begun to shed light on what we can anticipate for this fall’s launch.
Diverse Camera Layouts Revealed
Insights from renowned leaker Majin Bu, shared via CAD renders on X this past weekend, reveal that Apple will implement not just one but three distinct camera designs across its new lineup. This diversity may clarify previous uncertainties regarding their visual arrangements. Both Pro variants are expected to showcase their trio of rear cameras housed within a pronounced band that stretches across the back—a prediction earlier made by industry analyst Jon Prosser. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 is likely to preserve its dual-camera setup—aligned vertically in a compact module—similar to that found in its predecessor models, iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Notably, this marks an evolution from the diagonal configuration seen in the iPhones 13 through 15 series.
The Sleek iPhone 17 Air’s Unique Approach
Distinctively different is the anticipated ultra-slim version: the iPhone 17 Air. Rumored details suggest it may feature only one rear-facing lens aimed at minimizing internal components while optimizing for body size and weight reduction. According to recent visuals—including potential prototype case leaks—the solitary lens will be integrated into an elegant horizontal band at the rear.
A Combination of Design Concepts Confirmed
This latest information effectively validates all three conjectures posited earlier about potential design outcomes (an easy call when armed with insider insights). Another noteworthy detail includes an aluminum rectangle positioned beneath the camera arrangement on Pro models; contrastingly, non-Pro versions would stick with glass for their backs.
