Apple Could Change iPhone 17 Frame Design

The iPhone 17 is expected to bring a significant design change, particularly in how the frame connects to the back of the device.

According to a leak from Weibo, Apple is moving away from the current “step” design and opting for a “slope” instead.

This means the frame and the glass will curve into each other, eliminating the straight edges. This change could enhance the in-hand feel, making the phone more comfortable to hold.

Uncertainty About Which Models Will Get the Change

It’s unclear whether this design shift will apply to all four iPhone 17 models, or if it will be exclusive to the Pro versions, or just the non-Pro models.

Apple has often differentiated its devices in the past with such design elements, so it’s possible that the company may follow the same approach again.

Other Rumors and Design Speculations

The iPhone 17 Pro was rumored to feature a camera visor instead of the current island design, but this rumor has since been refuted, leaving the extent of Apple’s design changes unclear.
