Potential Observation of iPhone 17 Pro in Actual Usage

### Speculation Surrounds Reported iPhone 17 Pro Sighting

Earlier today, a user on X, identified as Fox Puppy, posted a few captivating photos that allegedly depict a person filming an iPhone 17 Pro on the street. The twist? The individual doing the filming was said to be using an iPhone 16 Pro, with its Apple logo hidden for reasons that remain unclear.

#### ‘This Appears Authentic’

While the validity of these assertions is still unproven, Fox Puppy noted that one of the people accompanying the man filming seemed to be security personnel trying to keep the iPhone out of sight. This detail has intensified speculation regarding the authenticity of the sighting.

In the images shared, the iPhone is protected by a hefty black case, concealing most hardware features. Nevertheless, some characteristics are noticeable, including silver camera rings on the left side and a shifted LiDAR sensor and flash on the right side of the device. These positions correspond with various mockups and leaks that have been circulating recently.

Adding to the intrigue, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg quote-tweeted the post, saying, “This appears authentic.” This remark ignited further speculation, with some wondering whether Gurman was being ironic or truly supporting the sighting.

#### Anticipation Grows for iPhone 17 Launch

Regardless of the actual nature of the images—whether they show a mockup or a real production unit—the sighting has amplified excitement for the forthcoming iPhone launch. With the official introduction of the next iPhones mere weeks away, the tech community is abuzz with anticipation and speculation.

As the release date draws near, discussions about the iPhone 17 Pro’s features and design are dominating dialogues among enthusiasts and industry insiders alike.

Canalys Report: Samsung Increases Market Share in US Smartphone Industry as iPhone Shipments Fall Sharply

In a noteworthy report released today, Canalys reveals that although the US smartphone market experienced minimal movement in total shipments during Q2 2025, significant growth was noted for Samsung and India, while Apple faced an unusual double-digit decline.

### Samsung Reduces Apple’s Market Share Advantage by Almost Half

As per Canalys, the US smartphone market saw only a 1% increase in Q2 2025, reaching 27.1 million units, up from 26.7 million the previous year. Samsung exhibited the most robust performance among vendors, shipping 8.3 million units, a 38% year-over-year rise, with its market share climbing from 23% to 31%.

In contrast, Apple experienced an 11% decrease in shipments to 13.3 million units, down from 14.9 million last year. Despite this drop, Apple retained its position at the top with a 49% share of the US market, surpassing Samsung’s 31%.

This signifies that Samsung has managed to narrow the market share gap from 33% a year ago to 18% in the last quarter. Runar Bjorhovde, Senior Analyst at Canalys, attributed this to vendors preloading devices and sustaining elevated inventory levels in anticipation of possible tariffs later in the year. Apple rapidly increased its inventories towards the end of Q1 and aimed to uphold this level in Q2. Samsung expanded its inventory stock in Q2, driving its shipments mainly through Galaxy A-series devices. However, with the market only growing by 1%, it reflects weak demand amidst a tightening economic climate.

For context, in Q2 of the previous year, Canalys noted a 1% annual growth and a 19% market share for Samsung, while Apple secured second place with a 6% annual growth and a 16% market share.

### Made in India is the New Made in China

While it might be intriguing to analyze which vendors are thriving or struggling year-over-year, a more captivating narrative this quarter is the origin of these smartphones. For the first time, India has surpassed China as the predominant manufacturing center for smartphones shipped to the United States.

This change is primarily attributed to escalating trade and tariff issues, leading to a significant reduction in the share of US smartphone shipments produced in China, plummeting from 61% in Q2 2024 to just 25% this quarter. On the flip side, India surged from 13% to 44%, achieving a remarkable 240% year-over-year growth as vendors hurried to diversify their supply chains away from China.

Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys, remarked that India became the foremost manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US for the first time in Q2 2025, largely propelled by Apple’s expedited supply chain transition to India. Apple has increased its production capacity in India as part of its ‘China Plus One’ strategy, allocating most of its export capacity in India to cater to the US market thus far in 2025.

Canalys’ report further indicated that Vietnam experienced a 6% growth as a smartphone manufacturing destination for the US, now comprising 30% of total shipments.
