iPhone 17 Pro series may get redesigned camera bar, repositioned Apple logo
iPhone 17 Pro: Expected design
According to images shared by Majin Bu, Apple appears to be moving toward a dual-tone design featuring an all-aluminium frame along with an aluminium camera bump. That said, a glass section will remain to support wireless charging, MagSafe, and pass-through features.
One notable design element is the revised Apple logo placement. While it may seem different at first glance, the logo will still be centred—just not on the entire phone. Instead, it will be aligned with the glass portion specifically. Both iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max look identical, except for their size difference.
Another major difference in the design language of the iPhone 17 Pro series as compared to the iPhone 16 Pro series is the revamped camera module. As per the images shared by Majin Bu, Apple's traditional corner camera bump will be replaced with a full-width camera bar. If accurate, this would mark a significant visual shift for the Pro series.
iPhone 17 Pro: What to expect
In terms of camera upgrades, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to offer:
A 48MP telephoto lens for enhanced zoom and image clarity
Multi-camera video recording support
An improved 24MP front camera for higher-quality selfies and video calls
The Pro version is anticipated to debut alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 line-up, which could include a slimmed-down iPhone 17 Air model.
According to a 9To5Mac report, Apple is also rumoured to be using copper materials for a new vapour chamber cooling system, replacing its current graphite set-up. This change is aimed at improving thermal efficiency through quicker and more effective heat dissipation.

Apple Lists iPhone 8, 2013 Mac Pro as Vintage Ahead of iPhone 17 Launch
Apple is gearing up for the next big leap in its product line with the anticipated iPhone 17, but as new technology looms on the horizon, the company is quietly phasing out support for some older favorites. Just two months ahead of the iPhone 17 launch event, Apple has added a group of its older products to the "vintage" list, including the beloved iPhone 8 (128GB variant) and the bold 2013 Mac Pro. Among the seven devices added, the 2013 Mac Pro stands out—famous for its unique cylindrical design. Praised initially for its compact and thermally efficient build, the model drew criticism over time due to limited upgradability. Apple eventually moved to a more conventional tower-style Mac Pro in 2019. With more than five years since its discontinuation, the 2013 Mac Pro now officially enters Apple's vintage category. Devices are classified as vintage when they haven't been sold for more than five years. While still usable, they are no longer guaranteed hardware support or access to replacement parts through Apple. Another notable entry is the iPhone 8 (128GB), launched in 2017. It was one of the final iPhones to feature a physical home button—a design element that many users still prefer today. Its addition to the vintage list signals the gradual wind-down of Apple's official support, making it less ideal for users expecting continued software updates or repair access. The full list also includes: 2019 13-inch MacBook Air 2019 iMac 2018 11-inch iPad Pro 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) All of these devices, while still functioning well for everyday tasks, may soon face limitations in repair services and future iOS/macOS compatibility. Apple routinely updates its classifications for vintage and obsolete devices. Products older than seven years fall into the obsolete category and no longer receive any hardware service, even if spare parts are available. As Apple prepares to roll out the iPhone 17 series, the shift marks a clear transition point—pushing older generations into retirement while making room for what's next. For users still holding on to the iPhone 8 or the 2013 Mac Pro, now might be a good time to start thinking about an upgrade.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 may add new health features, satellite connectivity
Apple is expected to launch the third-generation Apple Watch Ultra later this year. According to a report from 9to5Mac, citing Bloomberg, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will introduce key new features focused on health tracking and off-grid communication. These include high blood pressure detection, satellite-based messaging, and support for 5G Redcap connectivity. Other than a Black Titanium version, there have not been any major changes to the Apple Watch Ultra since 2023. However, the upcoming model could deliver a significant change. Here are the advanced features expected to debut with the next generation model: Apple Watch Ultra 3: New features According to the report, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will feature high blood pressure detection capabilities. This feature will not provide exact blood pressure readings but will notify users if they show signs of hypertension. The device is not expected to display specific diastolic or systolic numbers but will alert users when irregular blood pressure patterns are observed. The feature works similar to how the watch currently detects conditions like sleep apnea, providing early warnings rather than detailed medical data. Satellite Messaging The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will support satellite messaging, which is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. This will allow users to send text messages via satellite when cellular or Wi-Fi connections are not in range, enabling "off-the-grid" communication. The device will likely use Globalstar's satellite network, the same provider that Apple has used for satellite connectivity on iPhones since the launch of iPhone 14 series. The Watch Ultra 3 marks the first time Apple brings satellite support directly to the Watch. 5G Redcap connectivity Another addition coming to Apple's Ultra Watch 3 is the 5G Redcap support. The 5G Redcap is a more energy-efficient version of 5G, which is ideal for wearables. This 5G version offers better speed without significantly impacting battery life. This standard is designed to bridge the gap between full-fledged 5G and LTE. It will replace the existing 4G LTE connectivity, which has been the limit for previous Ultra models. What more? In addition to these three features, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is also expected to include a faster chip and an upgraded OLED display, likely aligning with the anticipated Apple Watch Series 10 models.
