Apple is set to launch the iPhone 17 lineup next month with a revamped camera island design. However, those models won’t be the first to bring that design to market — a knock-off version of the Pro model has already appeared with the same large camera island. Check out the images below.
This knock-off iPhone 17 Pro runs on a version of Android and imitates iOS 18 (last year’s version) more than the upcoming iOS 26. The bezels around the display aren’t symmetrical, and the wide chin makes it obvious it’s a fake. It also appears to use an LCD panel instead of AMOLED.
However, the back design — including the camera lenses — is surprisingly accurate, closely matching the renders of the real iPhone 17 Pro. Without a side-by-side comparison, it could be hard to tell them apart.
That said, buyers should always pay attention to the details when purchasing an iPhone or any other expensive Android phone from unofficial channels, especially if it’s being offered at a steep discount.
As for the real iPhone 17 Pro, it’s expected to deliver notable camera upgrades: the selfie camera could jump from 12MP to 24MP, and the 5x telephoto from 12MP to 48MP. The main camera, however, is expected to remain unchanged, with no sensor size or resolution bump. Powering the phone will be Apple’s new A19 Pro chipset, promising better performance along with improved thermal management and battery life. Leaks also suggest it could ship with 12GB RAM as standard, up from 8GB last year.
