Unveiling the Future of iPhone Design

Design Evolution

A Russian YouTube channel named Wylsacom seized upon these rumors and brought them to life by creating renders of what the iPhone 17 Pro Max could potentially look like with the rumored design. If this indeed becomes the final look and feel of the device, it's a welcome change as the author has always been a fan of the Google Pixel's horizontal camera bar. The last major camera design update was in 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. It makes sense for Apple to slightly shift its design language to keep things fresh. Even though the current design is functional, the Cupertino company doesn't want to become stagnant with the same appearance for an extended period.

While the camera bar rumor appears relatively reliable, it's important to note that these are still speculations until Apple officially confirms the design at the iPhone 17 announcement, which is expected to take place in September 2025. The renders provide an interesting visual representation, but they are not definitive.

Material Rumors

Beyond the design change, other rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro Max's material have surfaced. Some leakers claim that it will switch to aluminum, while others suggest it will remain with titanium. Additionally, there are reports that the phone will feature a 6.9-inch OLED display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate, enhancing the visual experience.

Another significant rumor indicates that both the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the iPhone 17 Pro will upgrade to 12GB of RAM, a significant increase from the current 8GB. There is also talk of Apple working on a new iPhone 17 Air, which is said to be the thinnest iPhone ever.

It's crucial to remember that these are all rumors and speculations at present. Until Apple makes an official announcement about the new phones, we can only wait and stay tuned to our iPhone 17 hub for the latest news.
