According to this rumor, Apple lacks inspiration for its next iPhones

Since last week, manyrumors are doing the rounds on the webregarding the iPhone 17 Pro, assuming adrastic change in design.

Apple in turmoil?

The rumors are already beginning to lose credibility. Informant Instant Digital, known for its reliable information regarding Apple, has just shared new data on Weibo. According to him, a source close to the matter claims that if the appearance of the back of the iPhone will change,the triangular arrangement of the cameras is maintained.

This revelation contradicts previous leaks which suggested a horizontal bar similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. However, it is important to note that Instant Digital has often been right in the past, even if its record remains mixed. He notably announced the yellow iPhone 14 or even the spatial video capture of the iPhone 15 Pro, as MacRumors recalls.

Significant changes despite everything

If the arrangement of the photo sensors does not change, the iPhone 17 Pro could still benefit from anmajor overhaul. Wayne Ma of The Information says that thecamera bump will now be aluminumand no longer in 3D glass as on previous versions.

The lower part of the iPhone 17 Pro would remain in glass to allow thewireless charging. This design choice could provide better impact resistance while retaining the essential features you are accustomed to. To learn more about Apple's future flagship,you can follow this link!
