According to a recent report by The Information, Apple is gearing up to unveil a brand-new, premium iPhone 17 model next year, featuring a noteworthy design change: relocating the rear cameras to the “top center” of the device.
This departure from the traditional placement in the top-left corner, a staple since the original 2007 model, would mark a significant shift.Â
Notably, some leading Android smartphones like Google’s Pixel 8 Pro already position their rear cameras towards the top center.
The report suggests that the iPhone 17 will undergo a “major redesign,” reminiscent of the iPhone X, indicating ambitious plans from Apple.
With speculations hinting at a higher price point compared to the Pro Max model, which starts at $1,199, there’s speculation that this could finally be the long-rumored “iPhone Ultra.”
Here’s a summary of what was disclosed about the sleeker iPhone 17:
-
Expected to feature a display between 6.1 and 6.7 inches, possibly around 6.5 inches.
-
A notably slimmer design with an aluminum frame.
