Apple reveals the iPhone 17, and these design revelations are already familiar to iPhone enthusiasts who track the latest Apple leaks and speculation. Nevertheless, there has been a notable update this week that is quite unexpected. Images that emerged online suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro models will not incorporate glass-and-metal backs as was previously thought. Instead, Apple may be opting for a predominantly metal back for the high-end iPhones.
Initial iPhone 17 predictions stated that the Pro and Pro Max variants would launch with a two-tone design on the rear. Apple intended to use metal for the elongated camera bar at the top, seamlessly integrating it with glass that would cover the rest of the back panel. Early forecasts hinted at a two-tone color scheme, while more recent leaks have pointed out that Apple will provide the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max with uniform finishes, making the two-tone design imperceptible to users. If this leak holds true, we could be witnessing a design shift for the iPhone 17 Pro that is at least as significant as the rumored 5.5mm thickness of the iPhone 17 Air.
