In nearly every week, Apple will unveil its new iPhone 17 lineup with some main adjustments to the Professional line. Whereas the sizes will stay the identical, the telephones are anticipated to be barely thicker with a brand-new digital camera bar that stretches throughout the highest third of the telephone.
Meaning if you happen to’re upgrading, you’re going to want a brand new case that matches the brand new design. We’ve gotten a take a look at a few of them over the previous couple of weeks, and now a pair of leaks from Majin Bu and Sonny Dickson showcase the brand new clear case that Apple has made since MagSafe was launched with the iPhone 12.
Nevertheless, this time round it’s not so clear. As an alternative of a white circle surrounding the Apple brand, Apple has apparently opted to cowl your entire glass backside of the case with a white rectangle that totally obscures the coloured glass with a centered Apple brand.
Based mostly on leaked pictures of the iPhone 17 Professional, the telephone can have a really totally different look this 12 months, with an oblong piece of glass floating beneath the digital camera bar. Some pictures place the Apple brand in an analogous location as on the iPhone 16 Professional, whereas others shift the emblem decrease to be centered throughout the glass body. It’s a small element, however it could possibly be the explanation why Apple would go for a white space somewhat than a circle. If the Apple brand is within the mistaken spot, it might upset the stability of the case.
The present mannequin has a MagSafe circle that encircles the Apple brand, however the iPhone 17 Professional’s bigger digital camera bump and decrease brand placement might have an effect on that design. As seen on the within of the leaked case above, the MagSafe circle remains to be centered on the again of the telephone, that means it’s close to the highest fringe of the glass part. That’s most likely why Apple opted to cover it.
Nonetheless, it’s a special look and one which’s sure to be polarizing. Whereas the telephone’s pure colour will nonetheless be seen within the digital camera bar and alongside the perimeters of the white space, it takes away a lot of the enchantment of a transparent case. It’s additionally unusual that it’s white somewhat than coloured to match the telephone, although Bu says Apple is engaged on “tinted clear variants” that would arrive as “restricted seasonal editions sooner or later.”
At any fee, we’ll know very quickly what Apple has in retailer for each the iPhone 17 Professional and its circumstances. Apple’s “Awe Dropping” iPhone 17 Professional occasion kicks off at 10 am PT on Tuesday, September 9.
