iPhone 17 Pro running Android spotted…
iPhone 17 Pro clone surfaces
Just ahead of the launch, a knockoff iPhone 17 Pro recently surfaced on the internet, running a version of Android OS. The images of the fake iPhone were shared by tipster Sonny Dickson on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the resemblance of the design to the leaks, but also showcasing a major downgrade due to the cloned operating system.
Well, at first glance, the iPhone 17 Pro looks quite real, and the home screen on the images also emits iOS 18 versions with apps like App Store and Safari. However, the tipster assured that it's a fake iPhone 17 model and is running on Android. Additionally, the device has thicker bezels, again raising eyebrows over its originality. Therefore, it's a wake-up call for us to take the leaks with a grain of salt, since the official release is still awaited.
Notably, the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to run on iOS 26, bringing a major revamp to the design and user interface. Therefore, beware if you come across any fake iPhone 17 model in the market or on the internet ahead of the launch.
iPhone 17 Pro: What to expect
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to come with a redesigned camera module, aluminium build, and slimmer bezels. It is expected to be powered by the A19 Pro chipset, paired with 12GB RAM. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is also tipped to be equipped with a vapour chamber cooling system for efficient performance and heat dissipation.
The iPhone 17 Pro models will likely feature a new 48MP telephoto lens that may offer up to 8x optical zoom. It is also tipped to offer 8k video recording and other camera improvements. For selfies, the Pro models may feature a 24MP lens, marking an upgrade from previous generations' models.

AI demand expected to boost electronics giant Foxconn's second-quarter profit
Taiwan's Foxconn , the world's largest contract electronics maker, is expected to report on Thursday that second-quarter profit rose 14% on continued strong demand for artificial intelligence servers . Net profit for April-June for Apple 's top iPhone assembler and Nvidia's server maker likely came in at T$39.8 billion ($1.33 billion), up from T$35.05 billion a year earlier. Foxconn, formally called Hon Hai Precision Industry, last month reported record second-quarter revenue on strong demand for AI products but cautioned about geopolitical and exchange rate headwinds. Global trade uncertainty could dim the prospects for its outlook this year, as it has a major manufacturing presence in China, though Washington and Beijing this week extended a tariff truce for another 90 days. Most of the iPhones Foxconn makes for Apple are assembled in China, but the bulk of those sold in the United States are now produced in India. The company is also building factories in Mexico and Texas to make AI servers for Nvidia. In its July sales report, Foxconn said while the third quarter should see on-year growth - the company does not provide numerical guidance - the impact of "evolving global political and economic conditions" would need continued close monitoring. Foxconn has also been looking to expand its footprint in electric vehicles , which the company sees as a major future growth generator, though that has not always gone smoothly. Earlier this month, Foxconn said it had struck a deal to sell a former car factory at Lordstown, Ohio, for $375 million, including its machinery, but said it would continue to use the site to make a broader range of products aligned with its strategic priorities. Foxconn has expanded beyond its traditional role as an iPhone assembler in other areas too. Last month it formed a strategic partnership with industrial motor maker TECO Electric & Machinery to build data centres . Foxconn holds its earnings call at 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) in Taipei on Thursday, where it will also update its outlook for the year. Foxconn's shares have risen 7.9% so far this year, outperforming the broader Taiwan index's 5.8% gain. ($1 = 30.0020 Taiwan dollars)
