FOUND: New iphone 17 pro rumor suggests radical redesign - What They Never Told You

Majin Bu rendering of the iPhone 17 Pro back showcasing the camera array.

'Tis always the season for iPhone leaks, and the latest suggests Apple could take a page from Google for its upcoming iPhone 17 series. A new photo purportedly of the iPhone 17 Pro's frame has surfaced, and it sports a horizontal camera array that'd look more at home on the Pixel 9 Pro than a new iPhone.

That Apple could be ditching its rounded square rear camera bump for a larger rectangle is one of the more wild rumors we've heard in recent months. Previously, The Information's Wayne Ma claimed both the ‌iPhone 17‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 17‌ Pro Max will get a "rectangular camera bump made of aluminum rather than traditional 3D glass," while the bottom half will still be made of glass to support wireless charging. Now a leaker on Weibo has posted our first look at the new redesign, showing off what appears to be a metal frame for the iPhone 17 Pro from the supply chain, as spotted by Android Authority.
