The next generation iPhone is expected to arrive later this year, but there are already plenty of rumors about it – especially when it comes to design and cameras. Previous rumors have suggested that the iPhone 17 Pro models will have a new rear camera design with a different bump. Now 3D renders shared by Jon Prosser show what the final version of the new phones might look like.
Rumored iPhone 17 Pro camera design shown in video
In a new video on the Front Page Tech channel, Prosser showed renders based on information from his sources. Contrary to what previous renders have shown, Prosser claims that the arrangement of the three lenses on the back of the iPhone will be the same, but that doesn’t mean that the design won’t change. Instead of a square-shaped bump, the iPhone 17 Pro will have a wide “camera bar” on the back.
The bar shown in the renders is much taller than what we’ve seen in previous renders. The three lenses are still on the left, while the LED flash, microphone, and LiDAR sensor are now on the right. Previous renders suggested that the three lenses would be aligned horizontally.
A recent leak revealed a potential back part of the rumored iPhone 17 Air, which has a wide rear bar for the camera that extends from one side of the phone to the other.
Prosser also says that previous reports misinterpreted the rumors about the back of the phone having a “two-tone” appearance. According to him, the back of the iPhone 17 Pro will still have a single shade of color, but the camera bar will have a much darker tone. Sources also told him that the iPhone 17 Pro will be lighter than current models.
Of course, it’s always important to take these rumors with a grain of salt. While Prosser has shared correct information about upcoming Apple products in the past, he has also shown alleged renders of products such as a new Mac mini and iPhone 14 that turned out to be wrong.
Even so, all the rumors suggest that Apple is definitely considering some changes to how the iPhone’s rear camera looks. Whether it will be horizontally aligned or keep the current arrangement with a large wide bar, we don’t know for sure. We’ll probably have to wait a bit more until we see things like the first cases made for the iPhone 17 lineup.
But what about you? Which rumored design do you prefer? Let us know in the comments section below.
