Apple is expected to introduce in the autumn of this year, the iPhone 17 Pro model continues to emerge new details. According to the latest information, the company may go to a significant innovation, especially in the rear camera design. The 3D render images shared by the leak source Jon Proser show that a different approach will be adopted in the rear camera section of the new model. Apple, so far, can switch to a new design approach by adopting a different order with the iPhone 17 Pro, which has positioned in square or rectangular modules. This change is expected to make a difference in both aesthetics and technical terms.
According to leaks, the rear camera module of the iPhone 17 Pro will have a wider and remarkable design. The camera sequence will remain unchanged, but the area where the lenses are located will be more common. The new design contains a “camera bar” concept that brings the lenses together and extends horizontally to the back of the device. Unlike the square camera modules seen so far, this new design can make a significant difference in Apple’s design language. According to the images, the cameras are located on the left side, while the components such as LED flash, Lidar sensor and microphone are positioned on the right.

Another detail that draws attention in leaks is the design difference of the back surface. While the previous models use a monolithic color, the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera bar will have a significant darker tone. This new approach can affect the general aesthetics of the phone and offer users a different visual experience. It is also rumors that Apple aims to reduce the weight of the device using lighter materials in this model.
Apple’s design preference is thought to offer a new experience to users in terms of ergonomics. The spread of the camera module over a wider area can provide a more balanced grip while keeping the phone horizontal. This design can be interpreted as a remarkable step, considering the fact that Apple has been hesitant to make radical changes in the design language in recent years.
Apple may be aiming to leave its competitors with this new camera design. While different design concepts are adopted on Android side, Apple’s change can be considered as a remarkable move in the competitive environment. Considering the importance of the company to camera technology in recent years, this new design can offer a different photo and video experience.
The 3D render images of the iPhone 17 Pro show that Apple can take a bold step in design by focusing on the camera section in its new model. However, Apple’s design is not clear whether it will realize this design. More details about the new model are expected to emerge with supply chain leaks in the future.
