Igeekphone December 12 news, the blogger @digital chat station posted today that the supply chain materials show that the iPhone 17 series mobile phones “indeed” will be changed to the horizontal three-shot layout as shown in the following figure (Igeekphone note: According to the practice from the iPhone 11, the standard version of the model is dual, Pro and above models are three), the current lens arrangement details are temporarily unknown, and the module has been changed to a “strip runway” design.
At the same time, the blogger broke the news that next year “there will be many new Android phones” changed to this design.
In late November, The Information reported that Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max would receive “major design changes.”
First of all, the two flagship models will be the first high-end iphones to feature aluminum frames on the Pro series since the iPhone lineup was split into Pro and non-Pro models, which tended to be limited to entry-level models like the iPhone SE and iPhone 16. The high-end iPhone has a stainless steel frame (the iPhone 15 Pro began to use titanium body).
The back of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max will also feature a new half-aluminum half-glass design, with the top half made of aluminum metal and featuring “rectangular aluminum camera bumps instead of traditional 3D glass,” while the bottom half will continue to use glass to support wireless charging. Of course, the camera bump on the iPhone 17 Pro will also be significantly larger than previous models.
