iPhone 17 Pro Series May Ditch Centered Apple Logo for New Camera Layout, Leak Suggests

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in September. These models will be launched alongside the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air. Recent leaks have revealed new design elements for the Pro models, sparking interest among tech enthusiasts.

A fresh render shared by tipster Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter) showcases the alleged iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in transparent cases. The image highlights a revamped camera bar that spans horizontally across the back of the devices, aligning with earlier 3D renders from Jon Prosser.

iPhone 17 Pro Series Design Leak: What's New?

According to the latest renders, the Apple logo's position has shifted lower on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max compared to its centred placement on previous models like the iPhone 16 Pro. The renders also show a redesigned MagSafe magnet array, which now features a break in its circular formation to fit around the new logo location.

The render also indicates an aluminium frame in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The wider camera island on these upcoming models seems to have necessitated changes in both logo placement and MagSafe coil design. This suggests Apple's focus on integrating functionality with aesthetic appeal in their latest offerings.

iPhone 17 Pro Series - What We Know So Far

In terms of features, the iPhone 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max are rumoured to be powered by Apple's A19 Pro chip. This chip will be built on TSMC's advanced third-generation 3nm process, known as 'N3P', these chips promise higher transistor density, resulting in improved performance and greater energy efficiency.

According to Digital Chat Station, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. This is an upgrade from the 12MP camera found in the iPhone 16 Pro models. Additionally, these new models are expected to include a 24MP front-facing camera, surpassing the 12MP selfie camera of their predecessors.

As anticipation builds for Apple's September launch event, these leaked details offer a glimpse into what consumers can expect from the next generation of iPhones. The combination of design tweaks and material enhancements promises an exciting update for Apple fans worldwide.
