According to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, the iPhone 17 Pro design might not necessarily be a gigantic year over year leap.Early iPhone 17 Pro rumors suggested the possibility of a more drastic design change, whereas now it’ll be far more similar to last years design, apparently.In his newsletter, Gurman not to expect a ‘particularly bold new look’ with iPhone 17 Pro.
The front will appear ‘quite similar’ to the 16 Pro, whereas the back camera will look ‘meaningfully different.’ Early iPhone 17 Pro rumors suggested the possibility of a smaller Dynamic Island cutout, whereas this would suggest that isn’t going to happen.Gurman even goes a step further, and says that the two-tone design isn’t going to happen: In short, the design won’t be a huge year over year jump from the 16 Pro, although it does sound like the idea of a camera bar design is still going to stick around.It’ll just be filled with the color of the iPhone body.
Gurman also referenced more drastic iPhone changes coming in 2027, alongside the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.Both a foldable and a ‘bold new Pro model’ will be launching.My favorite Apple accessories on Amazon: Anker 25K Compact Power Bank with retractable cable MOFT Magnetic Wallet Stand, fits up to 3 cards AirTag 4-pack (on sale for 30% off!)
