Apple’s subsequent set of iPhones, the iPhone 17 sequence, already seem like they are going to be completely different from the present crop, particularly the head-turning iPhone 17 Air, if that’s what it’s referred to as. However a brand new report says that the look of the iPhone 17 Professional received’t be what earlier experiences have recommended.
Will the iPhone 17 Professional seem like this, the iPhone 16 Professional?
In line with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his newest Energy On e-newsletter, the brand new Professional will look much more just like the 16 Professional than anticipated. Gurman contends that the design has remained constant because the iPhone 12 from 2020. I’m undecided I’d agree with that. I feel the variations over time add as much as a brand new look that’s nonetheless recognizable as an iPhone.
“With the iPhone 17 Professional coming later this 12 months — together with the thinner iPhone 17 “Air” — we’re lastly poised to see extra of a revamp. The units symbolize the most important design adjustments because the milestone 2020 technology, which ushered in 5G connections. That mentioned, I wouldn’t count on a very daring new look. From the entrance, the 17 Professional will seem fairly much like the 16 Professional. It’s the again digital camera that can look meaningfully completely different,” Gurman insists.
He then describes how the again of the cellphone will look completely different, and right here his predictions precisely match different rumors: “The newest renders on-line present a big digital camera space on the highest again of the cellphone that features the identical three-lens association that Apple has used because the iPhone 11 Professional. However the cameras sit on a brand new panel that spans the width of the cellphone,” he says.
The place present rumors are flawed, it appears, is the colours. “Some mages on-line even present a two-tone design, with a dark-black digital camera block on prime of a silver iPhone again. These are… not an correct illustration of what’s to come back. The iPhone 17 Professional received’t have a two-toned again, I’m advised. The digital camera space would be the identical colour as the remainder of the system. That speaks to the extra gradual design adjustments that Apple is making,” he provides.
As a substitute, he suggests, the massive shake-up will come for the iPhone’s 20th birthday in 2027.
