Design Changes in the Works for iPhone 17 Lineup?
A leaked CAD image suggests the iPhone 17 lineup could receive major design changes, including a new, longer camera bar and a two-tone rear panel. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max might get this elongated camera bar, with what appear to be lidar sensor and flash modules moved to the far right side of the housing. The CAD render also shows a separate cutout in the center of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max's rear panel, which could suggest a two-tone colorway or use of another material.
- This design shake-up might signal Apple's willingness to take more risks with its flagship products, potentially leading to a more diverse range of consumer options.
- How will the introduction of a two-tone design on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max impact the broader aesthetic landscape of smartphones, and what implications could this have for future device designs?
