Speculation is rampant about the new iPhones Apple is set to release before the year concludes. Reports indicate that the tech giant may unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, along with a sleek, ultra-thin model designed to rival Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge.
A number of leaked renders have surfaced, showcasing the anticipated Apple devices, providing insight into what we can expect in September when they are likely to be announced. Recently, images of cases for these iPhones have emerged, further corroborating the earlier designs.
The latest images were shared by leaker Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter) and reportedly depict “cases for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.” These cases feature a transparent back and white detailing for MagSafe, closely resembling Apple’s current ‘Clear Case with MagSafe’ for existing iPhone models.
What do the cases reveal about the upcoming iPhones?
The case for the iPhone 17 reveals a slightly larger camera cutout compared to the iPhone 16 models. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Air’s case displays a cutout that spans the width of the device, reminiscent of Google Pixel phones but positioned higher on the back.
What stands out most are the cases for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, showcasing significantly larger camera cutouts. These designs align with previous leaks and hint at a dramatic shift from the square camera housing in the top left corner of the iPhone 16 Pro to a design that crosses the entire width of the device.
While we cannot definitively confirm the authenticity of these cases, they do seem to back up ongoing rumors regarding Apple’s upcoming releases. As September approaches, the likelihood of these design changes grows, though things may shift in the coming months. For those considering a Pro upgrade, be prepared for notable alterations.
