As usual, Apple is expected to unveil the all-new iPhone 17 series this September. But this time, the Pro models might bring some of the biggest changes we’ve seen in years, including a redesigned body, support for 8x optical zoom, and two dedicated camera control buttons.
Now, someone might’ve just spotted the iPhone 17 Pro out in the real world. A user on X (formerly Twitter) shared a couple of photos of a man holding a pair of iPhones. And the one wrapped in a black case is believed to be the alleged iPhone 17 Pro.
Interestingly, while the original poster isn’t known for leaking Apple hardware, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reposted the tweet, saying, “This looks legit.” And honestly, there are a few reasons to believe it might be.
Alleged iPhone 17 Pro in the wild matches what we have heard
For starters, the device in question appears to have a wide, horizontal camera bar that stretches across the back, something we’ve heard in multiple leaks already. The left side of the bar is expected to house the three camera lenses, while the right side may include the LED flash, LiDAR scanner, and a rear microphone, all vertically aligned.
The black case on the supposed iPhone 17 Pro also shows cutouts that match this layout, lending more weight to the leak.
MacRumors points out another interesting detail. The second phone in the man’s hand seems to be an iPhone 16 Pro with a sticker on the back. That sticker likely hides a data matrix code that Apple uses to track development units used internally. If true, this could mean the person in the image is actually an Apple employee testing unreleased hardware.
Still, the original source isn’t a regular leaker, so it’s best to take all of this with a grain of salt.
