The iPhone 17 Pro design has been the topic of discussion for quite some time now.
The choice of material for the frame has been talked about recently. This has now been followed by an image of the bare frame of the smartphone. It is believed that the image has been sourced from the iPhone supply chain.
Horizontal Camera Setup
According to the image posted on the well-known Weibo platform by noteworthy tipster Jukanlosreve through the X platform, the handset will sport a rear camera island in a rectangular horizontal layout at the top.
This is a major change from the traditional square layout adopted by the manufacturer. This change is reminiscent of the camera layout that Google adopted for its Pixel 9 lineup. The only difference is that the cameras on the Google smartphones are positioned slightly lower.

In the same post, the tipster mentions that the ultra-wide-angle camera of the 17 Pro will be positioned in the middle. This arrangement will give space for the structured light in the front. Another post by tipster Digital Chat Station with an image of the forthcoming iPhone 17 series supports this claim.
Other iPhone 17 Pro Specifications
The handset is expected to come with a 6.3-inch OLED panel supporting the manufacturer’s ProMotion technology, a resolution of 1206 x 2622, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
