ALBAWABA - The design of Apple's next flagship device, the iPhone 17 Pro, has been reportedly leaked on social media, showcasing a rather different approach to the popular smartphone's previous versions. This comes a month before the series' launch in September.
According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, Similar to previous renditions, the iPhone 17 will launch alongside three more phones with a variety of colors to choose from, including Dark Blue, Orange, Grey, Black, and White.
Regarding leaked photos on X (formerly Twitter), Apple maintained the rectangular design with rounded edges but introduced a new element in the camera section. The Apple logo will be moved downward alongside a MagSafe cutout to accommodate a new camera island that slightly protrudes from the phone, with the addition of three sensors.

Moreover, Apple is reportedly ditching the titanium-glass design found in the 16 and implementing a new, updated aluminum-glass chassis. For the camera, this is Apple's first attempt to surround it with aluminum, except for the lenses, which will be made out of glass.
Out of the three censors featured in the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro, the 48MP periscope telephoto sensor marks a significant bump in quality for Apple users who enjoy taking pictures. The newly implemented lens allows users to take photos of distant subjects as if they were closer, allowing them to zoom in while taking photos more than ever before.
According to AppleTrack, Apple is also widening the top speaker to reportedly improve its audio quality. The screen will remain the same size for the iPhone 17 Pro and will feature an OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. However, leaks indicate that the phone might ship with a new anti-glare/scratch coating to protect the screen and for better vision in bright areas, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Which chip and how much RAM will the iPhone 17 Pro ship with?
AppleTrack added that the iPhone 17 Pro might ship with a 5,000 mAh battery or larger, which might or might not be sufficient for a device of this caliber, depending on the user.
Last but not least, the upcoming device will reportedly also feature Apple's upcoming A19 Pro chip with 12GB of RAM (double the amount of the 16 Pro and the most RAM ever integrated into an Apple device).
