Revealing the image of iPhone 17 case, Apple is about to have a design makeover

Leaked images of iPhone 17 cases show that Apple may abandon the old camera design to pursue a new style. Recently, famous leaker Majin Bu shared on social network X (Twitter) an image said to be a CAD rendering of the iPhone 17 case. The most notable point is the rear camera cutout with a horizontal pill-shaped design, similar to the Google Pixel line.

Renders of the iPhone 17 case show a novel design.

Previously, Majin Bu also predicted this design change, with the camera cutout located on the left side of the back, along with a small round hole on the right for the LED flash. This leaked image continues to reinforce that information, while also revealing more about the location of the buttons on the device.

Accordingly, the Camera Control and volume up and down buttons of the iPhone 17 will be placed on the same side, similar to the iPhone 16. The cutout at the bottom edge for the charging port has also not changed. Although there is no official information from Apple, it is not uncommon for case manufacturers to receive designs before the product is launched. This shows that the iPhone 17 will likely have a new camera design like the leaked images.

Many people expect Apple to boldly "transform" the iPhone 17, instead of just focusing on upgrading the hardware like in recent years. This new camera design promises to make a difference and attract users.
