iPhone 17 Pro Cases Leaked: How The New Camera Design Might Look Like

The iPhone 17 Pro model is getting a different camera layout this year, at least going by the rumours and leaks that we have seen till date. The iPhone 17 Pro cases have leaked earlier this month, which suggests Apple is hopefully going to make some changes to the premium version, and make it look different from the current iPhone 16 Pro series. 

The iPhone 17 Pro will not see changes in the number of cameras and even the layout of the lenses will be identical to the 16 Pro models but Apple could add a new twist to the design which could become a money-making prospect. 

iPhone 17 Pro Camera Design Change: New Horizon 

The camera design via the leaks tells us a new story that will keep Apple happy for a few years. The camera bar rumoured to feature on the iPhone 17 Pro will have scope for its own accessory that lets you customise the device at the back. 

How is that possible? A tipster named Majin Bu claims third-party companies are already making camera covers for the wide camera bar on the iPhone 17 Pro. Yes, not just a cover for the iPhone but for the camera itself (happy dance, Apple team). Over the years Apple has used its design tweaks to create new use cases, the AirPods being some of the biggest examples, and it seems the iPhone 17 Pro camera cover could be another ring into its coffers, if the product does turn out as viewed in the leaks. 

iPhone 17 Pro Cameras Change? 

The 17 Pro triple camera setup is likely to get a LiDAR scanner, along with a trio of 48MP sensors, out of which one of them could be a periscope telephoto lens. The bigger changes and upgrades are likely to be reserved for the iPhone 19 series as suggested in multiple reports this year but for what it is worth, the iPhone 17 Pro might not be a design-look alike dud after all. 

The new iPhone 17 series will come with the iOS 19 version that will be announced at the WWDC 2025 keynote in June before the big iPhone 17 launch around September this year.
