The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models are set to feature a new look for their back cameras, with a design that includes a rectangular bar with rounded edges. This stylish change is also expected for the iPhone 17 Air, but the basic iPhone 17 won’t get this upgrade.
According to tech insider Jon Prosser from the Front Page Tech YouTube channel, the basic iPhone 17 will look very much like its predecessor, the iPhone 16.
The basic model will continue to sport two cameras arranged vertically in a pill-shaped bump on the back. This makes the basic iPhone 17 the least altered in terms of appearance among this year’s new releases. For those who prefer the classic look, this could be good news, as it suggests Apple is keeping the traditional design for at least another year.
Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 17 series in September, giving us a clearer picture of what each model will bring to the table.

Something not mentioned in the video, but I’d like to add here: the regular base iPhone 17 continues the same look as the base iPhone 16. Do with that info what you will.. pic.twitter.com/lqdhZNrsQO
