Just earlier today, rendered images purportedly of the iPhone 17 Pro Max shared by a Russian YouTube channel showed what it could look like based on rumors about the next iPhone going with a horizontal camera arrangement. Many compared it to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, complete with rounded camera bar. This would be a dramatic facelift for sure, but it appears as though this drastic change might not be happening at all.
The initial render of this new iPhone 17 redesign was posted first by Weibo user Digital chat station, who claims that the iPhone 17 “has indeed been changed to this design.” Given how the leaker previously posted correct information about the iPhone 16 Pro, one would think this new horizontal camera arrangement claim would pan out.
