Description:
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max might not have a two-tone design or a smaller Dynamic Island cut-out.

FULL STORY ======================================================================The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max apparently won't have a two-tone design But the camera block will supposedly be changed Overall, these phones apparently wont have a particularly bold new look

Weve been hearing for a while now that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro
Max may look substantially different to their predecessors, with completely changed camera designs, two-tone appearances, and possibly even a smaller Dynamic Island cut-out . Now though, a reputable source has suggested some of that wont be happening.

Apple watcher Mark Gurman has said in his latest newsletter for Bloomberg
(via 9to5Mac ) that the iPhone 17 Pro series wont have a particularly bold
new look, with the front said to appear quite similar to the iPhone 16 Pro .

That might mean talk of a smaller Dynamic Island cut-out is wrong, though Gurman doesnt specify exactly what if anything will change on the front. A leaked image of the iPhone 17 Pro (Image credit: Front Page Tech / @asherdipps) Meaningful changes to the camera design

He does say that the camera on the back will look meaningfully different, so that suggests the images weve seen showing a large, Pixel-like camera block could be accurate.

However, some of these also show a two-tone design, with a black camera block on an otherwise silver or gray iPhone, and this apparently wont be happening, with Gurman saying the camera block will be the same color as the rest of the phone.

As with any unofficial information wed take all of this with a pinch of salt, especially as some of it is at odds with earlier rumors, but Gurman is about as good a source of Apple gossip as youre going to get, so he may well be right.

Well probably find out in September, as thats when were expecting the iPhone 17 series to launch, but stay tuned to TechRadar in the meantime for all the leaks and rumors.
