A supply chain leak has revealed that the new iPhone 17 could get a design like the Pixel 9 Pro
Recently leaked images of iPhone 17 details show a possible redesign of the device that resembles the design of Google's Pixel 9 Pro.
Here's What We Know
A supply chain leak suggests that Apple may be borrowing designs from Google. The new images show a redesigned rear camera protrusion that will reportedly include Face ID components. While the exact changes are still unclear, it is speculated that the new design will include a wider rectangular camera protrusion to place the ultra-wide-angle camera in the centre.
This will make room for the front light structure likely associated with Face ID. The comments below the leak mention that this camera layout will also improve spatial video.

According to the well-known whistleblower Digital Chat Station, these changes may indeed happen, including the iPhone 17 Air model, so the new iPhone 17 design is expected to trigger a wave of imitations among Android device makers looking to replicate Apple's success. If these rumours and leaks are confirmed, the redesigned iPhone 17 smartphone could be one of the most significant changes to the lineup in recent years.
