With a few weeks left before Apple’s fall launch, it is known that the iPhone 17 Pro series will adopt a new “horizontal rectangular camera island” design, and may also readjust the antenna, which is expected to improve the connection quality between 5G and Wi-Fi, and get rid of the unstable signal and frequent disconnection in the crowded environment of the iPhone 5G era.

Apple will move the iPhone 17 Pro antenna around the camera module

According to the latest news from the whistleblower Majin Bu, Apple will make new key changes to the iPhone 17 Pro antenna, integrate it into a larger rear camera module, and surround the edge of the camera module, completely improving the problems of grip interference and signal attenuation.

This Apple’s change is inspired by the Apple Watch Ultra’s multi-band surround antenna design, which can improve the signal interference problem that the iPhone 17 Pro will be held or installed in the phone case, and can also improve the stability of network signal reception. Especially in indoor or in complex signals, it is expected to bring significant mobile network signal improvement, as well as improve signal coverage and stability.

Although Majin Bu has been accurately revealed many times in the past and not every time is completely correct, “Mr. Mad” also found a set of suspected iPhone 17 Pro outer frame bottom shells, which can be clearly seen that there are reserved antenna depressions and grooves on the edge of the rear horizontal bar camera module.

From antenna doors to 5G: Historical shadows of iPhone signal issues

The iPhone signaling problem can be traced back to the 2010 issue of Jabbers’ iPhone 4 detonating the “antenna door” incident. At that time, once the metal frame integrated antenna design grasped a specific area in the left hand, the signal strength dropped sharply or even disconnected.

In the end, the iPhone 4 design defects were used, and Jabbers only used free rubber protective covers as a remedy, but still could not avoid signal attenuation problems, which also cast a shadow on the brand image.

Since then, iPhones have continued to optimize their antennas, including the introduction of multi-antenna systems (MIMO) and smart switching technology. However, after entering the 5G era, there are still users’ reactions. In complex signals such as subways, elevators or shopping malls, iPhones not only have unstable connections, but also often have “false signals” that show full grid but slow network speed.

Although the high aesthetic design of iPhones mainly uses metal frames and glass back covers is recognizable, the antenna radiation efficiency is affected. Compared with some Android flagships that use plastic frames and multi-antennas, it has a slight disadvantage in stability.

Supports new generation wireless technology, iPhone 17 Pro improves overall connectivity experience

The repositioning of the iPhone 17 Pro’s antenna this time also means that Apple is trying to directly and completely solve the pain points over the years from the perspective of hardware structure.

The outside world speculates that the new antenna system will support Wi-Fi 7 and more advanced 5G frequency bands, further shortening network switching delays and enhancing high-speed transmission performance. If the rumors are true, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to usher in a substantial leap in signal stability, rewriting the signal pain points and improving imaging capabilities over the years, becoming one of the Pro series models with the largest changes in recent years.
