New photo leak confirms new iPhone 17 design
Apple is reportedly considering redesigning the iPhone 17, particularly its camera and sides. New leaked images of iPhone 17 mockups show the new design with a horizontal camera bar.
Here's What We Know
Last November, it was reported that the iPhone 17 Pro could get a redesigned design, and this has been confirmed by subsequent rumours and leaks of its back panel design. Yesterday, whistleblower @MajinBuOfficial posted an image of two iPhone 17 prototypes with a new camera panel. These mockups feature a single camera system, indicating that they mirror the design of the iPhone 17 Air, the only model in the series that is expected to have only one rear camera.

Based on this, it's possible that the iPhone 17 family could ditch the square camera protrusion in favour of a horizontal bar. There have been conflicting reports as to whether Apple would move forward with this design, but new rumours to that effect are increasingly confirming this theory.
If these leaks are eventually confirmed, the new design change would be a significant step forward for Apple.
