Leaked Apple iPhone 17 Pro Case Photos Show Design Changes, Colour Possibilities
As predicted earlier, Apple is looking to go from a square camera block to a horizontal camera bar in the new design.
Apple's iPhone 17 lineup is due to be released in September, but the rumour mill doesn't seem to stop churning out new ideas, features and possibilities.
With the rumoured iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro models, Apple is anticipated to unveil a new design for the back camera.
After the iPhone 17 Air's cover was revealed in March, the purported iPhone 17 Pro case has also been leaked online. As predicted earlier, Apple is looking to go from a square camera block to a horizontal camera bar in the new design.
The leaker, Majin Bu, who posted a variety of marketing materials from iPhone 17 Pro case manufacturers on X, provides the most recent proof of the design change. Of note, Bu's post caption initially read "iPhone 16 Pro Cases", but he corrected that in one of the replies, in which he clearly notes "17 pro".
iPhone 17 Pro Design Changes
Looking at the leaked cases, the triple lens array remains where it was on the iPhone 16 Pro, but the LiDAR and flash modules are now located entirely on the right side of the phone, all surrounded by a large camera bump.
Along with the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the iPhone 17 Air are three models that Apple is anticipated to use this Pixel-like camera bar design.
In the last four Apple iPhone generations, only minor design modifications have been made, with the exception of the iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island. However, all leaks and rumours, including the latest case designs, seem to now point that the iPhone 17 Pro is up for a major makeover as far as the camera block is concerned.
iPhone 17 Pro Colours

The leaked images offer a clue into the possible iPhone 17 Pro colours: cream, charcoal green, purple and sky blue. The cases look fairly similar to the silicone ones that are available in the market even now, barring of course the larger gap for the changed camera set.
The sky blue colour, though, seems to be the frontrunner among the shades being considered in prototypes. A sky blue iPhone would also share its hue with the recent MacBook Air with M4 chip, which was introduced in the same colour.
"Unless Apple changes course at the last minute, this will be the star of the September 2025 launch event," notes Bu on his website.
