The first live photo of the iPhone 17 Pro has been published, but is it the one?
The iPhone 17 leaks are reaching a new level: if earlier information and renders were published by insiders, now it is done by random witnesses.
Here's What We Know
User X under the nickname @Skyfops published two photos of the smartphone, which is very likely to be the iPhone 17 Pro. On the street, he noticed a man in sunglasses holding two iPhones in his hands. One model is recognisable as an iPhone 16 Pro, while the other was in a black case that hides the design features of the gadget, but because of the prominent rectangular protrusion for the camera that was previously shown on mockups and renders, and round holes that could be the LED flash and LiDAR scanner, the smartphone is identified as an iPhone 17 Pro.

The man in glasses is likely an Apple employee, as indicated by a sticker on the back of the iPhone 16 Pro that looks like a code that allows the company to track internal iPhones.
Authoritative journalist Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reposted the photo and expressed confidence that the iPhone 17 Pro is the one in the photo.
