Those who have been keeping up with the buzz around iPhone 17 would know that there have been talks about a transformation of the camera design, to resemble Google’s Pixel more than Apple’s signature look. However, it’s crucial to remember that these are just speculations at this point, with the phone’s release almost a year away. The latest piece of information suggests that while there will be changes in the iPhone 17 Pro, the camera layout is likely to remain a triangular module.

This interesting tidbit comes from Setsuna Digital, a well-known tipster on Weibo. Contrary to the widespread belief that the camera will undergo a significant redesign, Setsuna’s sources believe that the triple-camera layout will remain a triangle. This contradicts the rumors of a horizontal strip design that’s been making rounds on the internet. It’s important to note that most leaks originate from various manufacturers within the supply chain, each contributing different parts to the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple first introduced the current camera layout with the iPhone 11 Pro, which boasted three lenses – two aligned vertically and the third placed in the middle. This setup was chosen to accommodate more potent cameras.

There’s no doubt that the iPhone 17 Pro will feature an enhanced camera system. However, whether it will take the form of a horizontal bar or retain the existing triangular format is yet to be confirmed. While there’s strong evidence suggesting a shift towards a Pixel-like design, the incomplete frame shown in the recent leak might be intended for a different phone model.

As we move closer to the launch, more concrete information is bound to surface. At this juncture, it’s worth considering Setsuna Digital’s past record. The tipster has a history of accurate predictions for devices like the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 14, and 15, as well as the iPad Air and iPad Pro. While the current scenario remains ambiguous, Setsuna Digital’s claims are certainly worth keeping an eye on.
