The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to bring the first major design overhaul to the Pro lineup in almost seven years. Early renders suggest a revamped camera module that stretches edge to edge and a two-tone finish on the back. Even dummy units of the upcoming iPhones show this redesigned camera setup.
But while the camera layout might stick, the rumored two-tone finish may not make the cut. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple currently has no plans to go with a dual-tone design for the back.
No dual-tone design for iPhone 17 Pro
In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman writes that the renders circulating online of the 17 Pro with a dark-black camera block on top of a silver iPhone are “not an accurate representation of what’s to come.” He adds that the “iPhone 17 Pro won’t have a two-toned back,” and instead, the camera module will match the rest of the back panel.
Still, the camera layout itself seems more likely to stick. Gurman didn’t comment on the design change directly, which could suggest Apple’s unusual module design is in play for next year’s Pro iPhones.
Beyond design, Apple may be planning a bigger shift in its lineup. The iPhone 17 Plus could be replaced by a new model called the iPhone 17 Air. It’s a slimmer version that will prioritize thinness over top-end specs.
Apple is still expected to launch four models in total. And all of them will feature the new camera control button on the right side.
These are still early leaks, and with the iPhone 17 lineup not expected until September, there’s plenty of time for things to change. We’ll keep an eye out and update you if anything new surfaces.
