Update February 24: A leaker has posted an image of all four iPhone 17 models, including the iPhone 17 Air.
Now that the iPhone 16e has finally been announced, we've got our eyes set on Apple's next flagship: the iPhone 17 series. And though we're still months out from the expected release date, the rumor mill is already chugging along steadily.
Here’s a first look at how cases might look on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. What do you think? pic.twitter.com/HzCGkRBIQvFebruary 23, 2025
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to share this redesigned camera bar along with the all-new, ridiculously thin iPhone 17 Air. Curiously, word is Apple's decided to stick with the current design on the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus. Maybe it's to make its premium handsets more distinctly recognizable compared to their counterparts.
It's a pretty chunky camera module since it spans the full length of the phone's back, which would certainly set it apart even among the best iPhones.
Based on these renders, it's hard to tell if Apple has shrunk the Dynamic Island as we've heard in previous rumors, something iPhone owners have longed for since the introduction of Apple's selfie camera spot.
At least one leaker has said the iPhone 17 Pro Max will get a narrower Dynamic Island thanks to the help of a "metalens" design for Face ID. This type of flat lens uses metasurfaces to focus light as opposed to the curved lenses traditionally used in phones to bend light toward the image sensor.
We'll have to take all this with a grain of salt for now, but it's got us excited. If history shows, the iPhone 17 will launch right around the five-year anniversary of the iPhone 12, the last major redesign of the iPhone, so the lineup is overdue for an overhaul.
In addition to the new design, the iPhone 17 series is tipped for several noteworthy upgrades like 24MP selfie cameras, the addition of vapor chamber cooling, and 120Hz displays on all models. The leaks aren't likely to stop anytime soon, but we probably won't know anything for certain until Apple's usual September launch window.
