iPhone 17 Pro Max: Brand New Design Possibly Unveiled
Apple might just be about to unveil the Pro Max with a brand new new design. A snap, reportedly straight from the assembly line, has been leaked online. It teases to reveal the final look for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The leak originates from insider Majin Bu. They state that Apple has "finally decided" on the future direction for the next-generation iPhones. To prove it, they've shared what appears to be a legitimate production workpiece.
First Glance at iPhone 17 Pro Max Case
Alleged iPhone 17 Pro Max Case Workpiece
The photo shows what are said to be aluminum blanks. These are raw materials that will shape the iPhone 17 Pro Max body.
Clever observers have identified a couple of interesting details on these blanks:
- The characteristic form of the cutout for the wireless charging coil and MagSafe magnets.
- The flash and LiDAR camera sensor look like they have moved. They are now placed on the other side of the signature triple-camera setup.
Renders Verified? New Design Refresh On Its Way
This new component line-up is ideal to fit hitherto leaked iPhone 17 Pro Max renders. Is this evidence that the renders were accurate? It certainly seems to point towards a significant design overhaul at the rear of the iPhone Pro series.
For iPhone enthusiasts, this is huge news. The iPhone Pro series' back design has remained relatively unchanged since the iPhone 11 Pro launched way back in 2019. This leak suggests Apple is finally ready to shake up its premium iPhone design.
What About the Rest of the iPhone 17 Lineup
The rumors also suggest a varied iPhone 17 family this year. Expectations include:
- The standard iPhone 17, likely to follow the iPhone 16 design language.
- A brand-new, very slim model rumored to be the iPhone 17 Air (not actually what it will be named, however).
As always, Apple will release the new iPhone series in September. Should this rumor be correct, we could be treated to a design change in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Spine-tingling stuff for Apple fans.
