This fall, Apple will release the new generation of iPhone 17, but there are many rumors that the back camera module will be greatly adjusted. Previous news pointed out that the iPhone 17 Pro model will adopt a brand new camera module design , changing the existing lens bulge shape until the recent leaker Jon Prosser shared the actual 3D renderings of the latest iPhone 17 Pro, which may be the appearance of Apple’s final selected version.
In the past, foreign media reported that Apple will change the horizontal bar design for the iPhone 17 Pro camera lens, which also made many people suspect that the three lenses will be replaced with horizontal arrangement, which aroused many people’s curiosity. The shape is a bit like a counterfeit Android phone design. .
According to the latest iPhone 17 Pro design obtained from inside Apple by Jon Prosser, it seems completely different from the previous rumors of switching to a horizontal three-lens arrangement. He said that the iPhone 17 Pro still retains the triangular lens arrangement, but Apple will take major changes to the Pro series for the first time. The rear camera module is no longer a square upper left corner bulge, but is changed to a wider “camera horizontal bar” (camera bar).
At the same time, Prosser also displays the new appearance of the iPhone 17 Pro through message rendering, which obviously shows that the width of the camera module is larger than in the past. The three lenses are still in the upper left corner, while the LED flash, microphone and LiDAR sensor are moved to On the right side of the fuselage.
Jon Prosser further explained the previous iPhone 17 Pro back cover design, pointing out that some reports misinterpreted the “two-tone” appearance. He emphasized that the back of the iPhone 17 Pro will still maintain a single tone, but the camera bar will Use darker colors to create a significant contrast effect.
Sources also revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro will be lighter than existing models, which may be related to new materials or internal structural adjustments.
The iPhone 17 Air will also adopt a horizontal camera module design?
Recent revelations also leaked a picture of the iPhone 17 Air back cover, showing that the camera module of this model also adopts the “camera horizontal bar” design extending from the left side of the body to the right side, and is in line with the iPhone 17 Pro module. The same shape means that Apple is trying to design the camera for all iPhone 17 models.
How credible is Jon Prosser’s revelations?
Although Jon Prosser has accurately revealed Apple product information in the past, he has also mentioned unimplemented designs, such as renderings of the new Mac mini and iPhone 14, and he still has some doubts about these news.
However, to summarize the current news, Apple may indeed change the camera design of the iPhone 17 Pro. Whether it is to be changed to horizontal arrangement or maintain the current triple-lens design, it will be replaced with a large-scale camera horizontal bar, which remains to be seen. Perhaps The final appearance of the camera module can be further determined until the protective case and mold of the iPhone 17 series is exposed.
