TL;DR
- Leaked image shows off iPhone 17 Pro’s possibly redesigned rear camera bump.
- The new design is said to accommodate Face ID components, though it is not clear what is changing.
- Another leaker suggests Android manufacturers may follow suit with the rectangular rear camera bar.
The iPhone 16 series has won hearts this year, and we’re already looking forward to what Apple has in store for 2025 with the iPhone 17 series. Rumors have begun to circulate about the device, including potential dramatic changes to its design.One enterprising leak suggests that Apple may replace the current squircle-shaped rear camera bump with a larger, aluminum rectangle.
This component, reported as coming from the supply chain, indicates that the wider rectangular camera bump could be designed to house the ultrawide angle camera centrally, making accommodations for what appears to be “front structure light,” likely for Face ID functionality.
The leaker also mentions that this camera arrangement will support what they referred to as “space video,” suggesting improved spatial video capabilities. While the iPhone 16 series and the iPhone 15 Pro series can capture spatial video, any enhancements to this feature would be notable.
Insider leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo expresses confidence in this leaked design, corroborating that the iPhone 17 series will adopt this rectangular setup, even though the specific lens arrangement is yet to be unveiled.

Additionally,Digital Chat Station notes that some upcoming Android devices might adopt a similar design. Given the trend of android manufacturers following Apple’s design choices, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this trend continue.
Fan rendering of the iPhone 17 Pro
If the iPhone 17 Pro series is similar to the fan rendering, it could led to a surge in Android phone designs resembling the current Pixel 9 series.

While I appreciate my pixel 9 Pro XL for its distinctive aesthetic, I fear that Apple adopting this design could lead to a deluge of similar Android devices, which could detract from its uniqueness. Still, we await further leaks about the iPhone 17 series, which could signify a critically important design evolution after several generations of the same.
