Late last month, The Information’s Wayne Ma claimed that the rear of the ‌iPhone 17‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 17‌ Pro Max will feature a “rectangular camera bump made of aluminum rather than traditional 3D glass,” while the bottom half will continue to be made of glass to support wireless charging. The report also said the “iPhone 17 Air” currently has a “large, centered camera bump on its back” with a single camera…
[Now], Digital Chat Station, a Weibo user responsible for a range of details about the camera technology of upcoming iPhone models, claimed that supply chain materials they have seen appear to confirm the major camera module change.
“The details of the camera arrangement are unclear, but the module is of this elongated oval shape,” said the leaker, commenting on the concept render image. “Many new Android phones next year are also expected to adopt a similar design,” the leaker added.
If accurate, the Google Pixel-style module redesign would be one of the most significant changes to Apple’s signature square iPhone camera bump since September 2019 when the iPhone 11 debuted.
