Apple's iPhone 17 may look radically different and these pictures could prove it

We might only be a few weeks away from Apple launching a bunch of brand new iPhones. Express.co.uk recently did some detective work and we reckon the latest and greatest device to come out of Cupertino will be unveiled on September 7 at an event which is likely to take place in the famous Steve Jobs theatre inside Apple Park. Hopefully, an official launch date will be confirmed by Apple very soon and it could be a very big year for the iPhone.

Rumours are rife that things will be getting a major refresh in 2025 with the iPhone 17 Pro models looking a little different than what's currently on sale.

Leaked renders have shown a phone with a much bigger camera bump that stretches across the whole rear of the device. That's instead of the smaller square panel that current houses the triple-lens set-up on the iPhone 16 Pro.

It's unclear why Apple is switching things up, but it could mean users get a much-improved way of snapping images on their phones.

Now, to add fuel to the rumour fire, new images have appeared which seem to back up the new look.

The accessories team at dbrand has shown off photos of a new iPhone 17 case, and they appear to match other leaks that have been doing the rounds. Lenses and a flash appear to spread right across the back panel rather than being kept on one side.

Of course, Apple won't reveal anything until the big day, but it seems Pro fans will be treated to a big design change.

Along with the update to camera, some whipsers have also suggested that a new orange colour will be added to the Pro this year giving fans more choice when it comes to the style they want. It's also likley that the new devices will get an improved processor, more smart features and longer battery life.

That new-look Pro might not be the only update this year.

It's also expected that an iPhone 17 Air will be unveiled for the very first time. As the name suggests, this device could be far slimmer than anything revealed before and could make it easier to squeeze the call maker in pockets.

Some early reports suggests it'll be 2mm thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro.

It's not known whether the Air will have the same A19 chip as the regular iPhone 17 or perhaps a more powerful version that is expected to be in the Pro models.

Samsung already offers its Galaxy S25 Edge, which has also been on a diet, and now an Apple device could follow.

Hopefully we'll have more news on a release date very soon, watch this space.
