Apple’s next-generation iPhone 17 Pro will retain its signature ‘triangular’ camera design, contrary to recent supply chain reports suggesting a horizontal layout. Leaker “Instant Digital” has confirmed this information, stating that the phone’s three cameras will still be arranged in a triangular formation on the back.
This news contradicts other reports indicating an elongated oval shape for the module. The iPhone 11 Pro’s ‘triangular’ camera design was a notable change from previous models, driven by the need to accommodate additional cameras and improved sensors. Apple’s new design has influenced subsequent releases up to today’s iPhone 16.
However, it appears that future designs will undergo significant changes. A recent report suggests that upcoming iPhones will feature major “design” and “format changes,” including a thinner “iPhone 17 Air” model with an ultrathin design. The exact measurements are not specified, but this marks a notable shift in Apple’s approach to iPhone design.
In related news, Apple has seeded the first betas of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 for developers, with updates expected to be released soon. Other reports also suggest that an upcoming new Apple TV is in development, potentially featuring improved Wi-Fi capabilities and a hardware upgrade.
