Rumors about the changed arrangement of cameras on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro are currently creating excitement in the Apple bubble. According to a media report, Apple is planning to arrange the cameras in a horizontal strip for the first time in the next Pro model, which is expected to arrive in September 2025. Now a Chinese leaker has denied this report. He claims that the square camera module will remain the same. However, there is consensus on the question of whether Apple is turning back more than usual.

American technical publication The Information had given this information a few weeks ago. first reported about itApple wants to make the casing of the future iPhone 17 line out of aluminum and thus plans to move away from stainless steel and titanium. In the future, the back of the Pro and Pro Max models will be partly aluminum and partly glass. A rectangular camera area is planned at the top, made of aluminum, while the bottom will still be glass to ensure wireless charging through MagSafe.
Leaker: Cameras stay where they are
The leaker “Instant Digital”, which is apparently based in China and has so far made some true and some false statements about future Apple products, Explained on the social network WeiboApple continues to rely on the triangular formation of cameras in a square bulge. He cites a source from one of Apple’s suppliers in China. Without going into details, he admitted that the appearance of the rear will indeed change.
The rear arrangement of the cameras is based on the iPhone 11 generation from 2019. However, much of the information reported is questionable: the change in horizontal may cause problems with the iPhone’s recently added ability to record spatial video. Since the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple has been using titanium as the material for the housing of its Pro models. The switch to aluminum also seems questionable in light of this, as Apple placed a lot of importance on the advantages of a high-quality titanium casing when it was introduced.
