Apple iPhone 17 Pro: New Leak Confirms Major Design Upgrade

Apple iPhone 17 Pro: New Leak Confirms Major Design Upgrade

Forbes29-07-2025
The next iPhones will be unveiled in a matter of weeks, likely in the second week of September. But a new report claims to show what one of the iPhone 17 series, the iPhone 17 Pro, will look like. It comes in the form of a video from a regular leaker, and it shows what the phone could look like — in five colors.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro: will the iPhone 17 Pro come in a brighter color like orange?
At least one of them would be a definite departure for Apple, indicating a significant change of direction in design.
Let's leave aside that I believe there will only be four different colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, at least at first, and note that the leaker providing the video previously thought there would be four colors but has now revised this estimate.
Tipster Majin Bu in a new post on X, asks 'What's your favorite iPhone 17 Pro color?' Beneath the text is a 10-second video showing a mock-up of the phone, complete with the supposed repositioning of the Apple logo further down the back of the iPhone.
This logo move has been controversial, to say the least, and is based on the idea that the new camera panel requires the logo to move for aesthetic reasons.
I'll be honest, I'm not persuaded these dummies show the apple in quite the right place — it may be a little further down the back than the final result will be.
But the focus in this video is on the colors, and Majin Bu says there'll be white, black, gray, dark blue and orange. The first four are the muted, understated shades Apple has routinely used for its Pro models, and that includes the Desert Titanium on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
That was predicted to be a gaudy, golden hue, but it turned out to be something much more discreet (you can see it at the top of this post).
Although I like the orange in the video, even if it looks more like a peach than orange to me, I believe this will be quieter on the real thing.
To be really picky, the video shows the edges of the iPhone 17 Pro matching the back almost perfectly, which hasn't been Apple's way in the past.
Not long until the real thing is here.

How Google's Pixel 10 Pro Can Defeat Apple's New iPhone 17

Google will launch the new Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro smartphones this month, and the new family of Pixels has an opportunity within reach that no other Pixel has had so far... the chance to take on and claim victory against Apple's iPhone. The latter will launch early in September and will no doubt be seen as 'the best iPhone ever' by the faithful. The Pixel 10 family is not going after that market; they belong to Apple in much the same way that Google has a tranche of users dedicated to the Pixel brand. Sales to these loyal crowds are locked in. The challenge is the group in the middle, the group that will happily swap manufacturers, proficient in living in multiple clouds, and always looking for the best balance. The Pixel 10 family, especially the Pixel 10 Pro, will speak to all of that market. Pixel 10 Pro Wins The Price Discussion First up is the price. Google appears to be keeping the prices of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL in line with the Pixel 9 family launched last year. On the other hand, Apple is set to add a $50 premium across the board for the iPhone 17 handsets. Apple is mitigating this by increasing the base level of storage on these entry-level models, so a like-for-like comparison with the second-tier models of the iPhone 16 will show an effective $50 saving year-on-year. That needs a close reading of the specifications to become clear. A quick comparison online or in-store of the prices will show (as much like-for-like as you can get between Android and iOS) that the Pixel is the more cost-effective option. Pixel 10 Pro Wins This Round Of AI It can't have escaped anyone's notice that artificial intelligence is the latest buzzword in computing. This isn't restricted to mobile; everywhere you turn, you can see AI being used in countless ways. The smartphone is the key computing device for many, and the AI revolution is incredibly visible on the smartphone. At least on Android smartphones. Apple's efforts in artificial intelligence have fallen short of the publicly announced goals at its Worldwide Developer Conference in June 2024. Features that were going to debut on the iPhone 16, then would be coming by the end of the year, may turn up ahead of the iPhone 17 launch. That delay, of more than a year, hands Google a visible win for those expecting modern artificial intelligence on their smartphone. Pixel 10 Pro Has More To Show In 2025 That's just the state of play of AI right now. When the Pixel 10 smartphones are launched, they will have all the added AI benefits from Android 16, as well as the new tools and updates in Google's first-party apps. AI will continue to be one of the buzzwords of 2025. Google will have demonstrated its lead and then extended it as consumers get ready to buy their new smartphones. Apple's AI efforts are still trying to match the promises of June 2024. Those who have purchased the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro smartphones Add to that the leap forward that Google will make with the launch of Android 16 on the Pixel 10 phones, as well as the new AI features in Google's first-party apps, and you can see how Pixel will have an AI advantage with consumers. Apple's AI promises from WWDC 2025 are less than grand. Advantage Pixel 10 Pro A better price on retail shelves, a better acknowledgement of artificial intelligence, and more new features that will extend its lead in mobile AI. The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro smartphones have more advantages over the iPhone than the Pixel range has had to date.
