A new render teases the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s big redesign, and I’m torn Macky Briones | usagoldmines.com

With the iPhone 16 line, Apple made some massive modifications with the bottom fashions, whereas the iPhone 16 Pro variations regarded similar to these from the previous a number of years. However Apple seems to be making some very vital modifications to the design of the iPhone 17 Professional Max — particularly if these mock-up renders from a Russian YouTube channel, Wylsacom, areaccurate.

The YouTube video exhibits that the iPhone 17 Professional Max will look nothing like its predecessors, in accordance with the rumors that this mock-up relies on.

The again panel contains a new horizontal triple-lens digital camera module, much like the digital camera bar island on the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro/XL. There are additionally whispers of the likelihood that the iPhone 17 Professional fashions could have aluminum taking on a lot of the again panel, with the remaining components nonetheless utilizing glass.

As you may see, this might be a really drastic redesign for the Professional fashions, that are due for a change — the present design has been used because the iPhone 11 Pro.

Truthfully, I’m unsure what to consider this redesign. I used to be upset with the iPhone 16 Professional wanting similar to the final 5 generations whereas the iPhone 16 acquired a contemporary new look. I’m all for a redesigned iPhone 17 Professional mannequin. However this? I’m a bit torn on whether or not I prefer it or not.

For one, it seems identical to the Google Pixel 9/Professional/XL. Google redesigned the principle Pixel sequence this yr to have a sleeker new digital camera bar, and this iPhone 17 Professional Max render seems like Apple simply stole the aesthetic. On the plus aspect, although, a horizontal digital camera bar means no extra wobbling round in case you use the telephone on a flat floor.

However then once more, it additionally looks like we’ve peaked when it comes to smartphone design, so it’s exhausting to do a design that hasn’t already been completed. If Apple does a vertical triple-lens digital camera structure, it might probably look similar to the Samsung Galaxy S24. A round one could be just like the OnePlus 12.

I’m fairly within the principally aluminum rear, although. From the renders, it seems to have a two-tone look, which jogs my memory of the original iPhone. And although I’ve at all times been a case consumer, having a principally aluminum again as an alternative of glass would imply higher sturdiness, which is at all times good. It’d even persuade me to not rely upon a case as a lot.

Regardless, we received’t know formally what the following technology of iPhones will appear to be till September 2025. But when the rumors are any indication, buckle up — we’re in for some massive modifications with the iPhone 17 household.
