The iPhone 17 Leak Roundup: Everything We Think We Know
Alleged schematics, supply chain photos, and analyst reports are piling up. Here's a consolidated look at what's credible.
With Apple's annual iPhone event still months away, the leak machine is already running at full speed. We've sifted through the noise to pull out what's credible based on track records of the sources involved.
Design Changes
The most consistent reports point to a significantly slimmer profile on the standard iPhone 17 — reportedly thinner than the Air models — enabled by a new antenna design and a relocated battery. A horizontal camera bar reminiscent of older Pixel designs appears in multiple alleged schematics from suppliers.
Camera and Display
The Pro models are rumoured to receive a 48MP ultrawide camera upgrade, matching the main sensor resolution. Display sizes are expected to remain unchanged, though a higher-refresh ProMotion panel may finally come to the base model.
Take all of this with appropriate scepticism. Even well-sourced leaks have a meaningful error rate, and Apple is known to make late-stage design changes that invalidate months of supply chain intelligence.
