While the Apple iPhone 16 series just launched a couple of months ago, early leaks have teased the design of the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup. It showcases a major change in design on the rear, so let’s have a look at this leaked render.
Apple iPhone 17 Leaked with New Design Refresh
The render of the iPhone 17 series model was shared by known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the image, we can see that Apple is keeping the pill shaped module, which we saw on the base iPhone 16 (Via TechOutlook). However, the image sensors are not vertically stacked, rather, they are taking inspiration from the recent Google Pixel 9.

The leaked renders reveal three camera sensors and an LED flash. The Cupertino based giant brought a design refresh on the iPhone 16, but it appears that the iPhone 17 might be making a bolder change. If this leak is true, this would be the biggest change to the iPhone in years. The exact details of the camera setup is still unclear, but Digitat Chat Station added that Android smartphone makers might also be adopting a similar design.
The three camera sensors hint that this is an iPhone 17 Pro series model. Apart from this, the leaked iPhone 17 Pro also packs a dedicated camera button on the side. Since this is such an early leak, I’d suggest you take this report with a pinch of salt. It still seems unlikely that Apple would bring such a massive change. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when more information is available regarding the next gen iPhones. The 2025 iPhone lineup may include a new iPhone 17 Air model as well that could be over 2mm thinner than the iPhone 16.
