Fresh iPhone 17 Pro Leak Offers Best Look Yet at Camera Design

Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to feature the biggest redesign in years, but rumours have teetered between a dual-tone finish and an all-glass back with a new camera island. A new leak now shows what exactly is up with the iPhone 17 Pro design, offering the best look at its redesigned camera bump. Apple’s next Pro model will use what appears to be a dedicated bar for cameras with a different colour than the rest of the rear panel. In plain sight, it looks similar to Google Pixel’s visor design.

Tipster Majin Bu, who has a credible track record on leaks related to Apple, has shared photos of what looks like an iPhone 17 Pro dummy. The dummy shows a new camera bump that stretches from the phone’s one end to the other, nearly covering the entire top portion of the back. This is strikingly different from the current camera design on Pro models, featuring a raised bar in a darker shade than the rest of the panel.

Previous reports have suggested the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will house a 48MP telephoto camera, up from the existing 12MP sensor. According to experts, the upgraded camera will offer crisper details and better zoom capabilities. The main and ultrawide cameras will stick to 48MP sensors like the iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple has also announced multi-cam video recording support in iOS 26, so the iPhone 17 Pro’s cameras will leverage the functionality to allow shooting from both rear and front cameras.

While the dummy does not explicitly show, the iPhone 17 Pro is also expected to swap titanium with aluminium to reduce the device’s weight. Other design changes, although not visible in the dummy, reportedly include narrower bezels and a slimmer profile.

Apple will likely launch the iPhone 17 Pro series alongside the standard models sometime in September.
