The iPhone 17 series is expected to arrive later this year as a successor to the iPhone 16 lineup, which was introduced in September 2024. Leaked details about the purported iPhone 17 handsets have surfaced online over the past few weeks. This time, the lineup could include a slim variant alongside the usual base, Plus, Pro and Pro Max options. An older leak suggested the series could see a redesigned rear camera module. Now, a new leak corroborates that claim and shows a visor-like camera unit instead of the square camera island that's been seen in recent iPhones.

This visor-like design seen in the leaked iPhone 17 image is similar to that of Google Pixel smartphones. Notably, the iPhone 16 Plus have vertical elliptical rear camera units, while the Pro models sport square islands seen on Apple's smartphones since the iPhone 11. An earlier leak claimed that the rumoured redesign is expected to make room for the “front structure light," which is likely a reference for Face ID.
