Leaked images and rumors suggest that Apple is planning to revamp the iPhone's design, taking inspiration from Google's Pixel phones with a horizontal camera bar. The iPhone 17 and the rumored iPhone Air are both expected to feature this new design, potentially ditching the current triangular camera arrangement. Additionally, rumors point to changes in materials for Pro models and potential alterations to the rear design.
Apple might not be the most innovative company any longer, but it's certainly good at putting its spin on things and making them better. The company is expected to take inspiration from Google's Pixel phones for its upcoming lineup, and judging by a new leak, the iPhone 17 might feature a horizontal camera bar, which is a hallmark of Pixel phones. We have seen various renders depicting this design.
A new concept image has now been shared by leaker Majin Bu, illustrating this potential design for the iPhone 17. The rumored iPhone Air is also expected to have a horizontal camera strip and a previously leaked prototype image suggests it will have a thin bar with one camera. Notably, the ultra-wide camera, which is smaller than the main camera, will be placed in the middle to avoid interference with the Face ID system. At this stage, these are just rumors, but with so many reports claiming that the current triangular arrangement is on its way out, there has got to be some semblance of truth to these leaks. It's speculated that the standard iPhone models will feature the new design, while the Pros will continue to have the same stovetop camera bump as the iPhone 15 series. The Pro models may ditch titanium for aluminum sides. Apple may also be considering changes to the rear design and the contour of the phones. If even half of these rumors prove to be true, iPhones may become exciting again.
