- Leaked pictures apparently give us a real glimpse of the iPhone 17 Pro
- The pictures suggest a new camera collection that fits our prior expectations
- The leading apple analyst Mark Gurman has suggested that the images seem legitimate
The launch of the iPhone 17 series has not been confirmed yet, but with Apple, which usually reveals its flagship telephone lineup in September each year, the next generation of iPhones is probably just above the horizon.
It seems that Apple is preparing for its next flagships for the wider world with some on-the-earth tests, or then some new images shared by an online tipster suggest.
Photos shared into X (formerly Twitter) by User Fox Pupy apparently shows a person using the iPhone 17 Pro on the street.

The pictures show the person who has two phones, one of whom appears to be an iPhone 16 -Pro and the other looks like the rumored design of the iPhone 17 Pro.
As we have previously reported, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to launch with a new design that contains a Google Pixel style camera. We previously thought this was an aesthetic choice, but newer rumors of a new 8x -tea camera could mean that the new camera line is creating space for a new lens.
In any case, the iPhone 17 Pro in these new images seems to be in a case, which is hiding if the new phone has a camera line. The main reason we are convinced that this is not the current Gen iPhone 16 Pro is the location of the phone’s flash and lidar sensor on the right side of the back panel-the current re-model has everything contained in the square house on the left.
Although Fox Pupy is not a name we know and usually do not post about tech rumors, the images have been relocated by prominent apple analyst Mark Gurman.
In Repost, Gurman simply wrote: “Wow. This looks legit.” Gurman is widely considered a leading voice on Apple Rumor Circuit, so a co-signing like this gives the images a lot of weight.
A new camera control button?
There is another thing to note for Pixel Peepers among us-as 9TO5MAC reports, there have been some suggestions that the images show a new or other camera control surface on the top edge of the phone.
For some, the case on the phone may appear to have a notch or hole along the top side that could be used by the left hand in landscape mode, while the existing camera control is used by the right. For me, it looks like reflected sunlight.
Personally, I would be pretty surprised if this was a new button. It does not seem like a special ergonomic place for a touch-sensitive button, especially on the iPhone 17 Pro Max (which is expected to have a 6.9-inch screen). Still, Apple isn’t stranger to the occasional Odd iPhone feature – Do you remember 3D Touch?
Although we would expect the iPhone 17 Pro to be launched as one of the best iPhones – and one of the best phones in general – Apple has not yet announced its next flagships. What do you think of these latest iPhone 17 Pro rumors? Tell us that in the comments.
