Reasons for the iPhone 17 design change.

The camera module, criticized for its unattractive design, has created space for accessory manufacturers to innovate and add features to the new iPhone.

Rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 Pro are almost unanimous about a redesigned camera module in a horizontal bar shape, occupying a large area on the back. Some people argue that this detail is not aesthetically pleasing and lacks sophistication.

However, if Apple decides to position the camera array horizontally, they certainly have many reasons. Accessory manufacturers, in particular, have discovered the benefits of this new design.

On social media platform X, user Majin Bu posted images of uniquely designed phone cases intended to conceal the horizontal camera module of the iPhone 17 Pro.

Previously, many people used protective cases for their cameras, but the newly revealed accessory has an even greater purpose: it not only protects against scratches but also serves as a way to express individuality. According to 9to5mac , this is an interesting way to transform the seemingly large camera module into a unique focal point.

Besides the new design, larger size (occupying almost the entire width), and thicker than the previous generation, the iPhone 17 Pro's camera module may also have a redesigned structure and upgraded features.

Recent rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have the LED flash and LiDAR sensor positioned in the upper right corner instead of near the triple-lens array as before, and will also be capable of recording video simultaneously using both the front and rear cameras.

According to the usual launch schedule, Apple may announce the iPhone 17 series in mid-September 2025. This year, in addition to notable changes to the Pro and Pro Max versions, Apple is likely to introduce a thinner and lighter iPhone 17 Air with a larger screen than the basic model.
