Leaked schematics of the upcoming iPhone 17 models have revealed that Apple may be revamping its speaker design. The CAD drawings, shared by well-known tipster @MajinBuOfficial, show a more symmetrical setup on certain models, including the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
The changes appear to be subtle, with the Pro and Pro Max models retaining the same number of speaker holes on each side. In contrast, the standard iPhone 17 retains its current asymmetrical design. The iPhone 17 Air, which is a new model this year, has only two speakers per side, potentially indicating component cuts for a slimmer device.
It’s unclear how these changes will impact audio quality, but rumors suggest that the Pro and Pro Max models may receive sound upgrades. With an official release expected in September, fans are eagerly awaiting more information about the iPhone 17 lineup.
