The latest info comes from a leaker known as Majin Bu, who has shared alleged images of Apple's Clear Case for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, or at least replicas.

The images show three alleged changes compared to Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Clear Case:

  • A cutout for a significantly larger rear camera bump that spans the entire width of the device, as widely rumored already.
  • A white rounded rectangular area surrounding the MagSafe system, instead of the previous circle with a line below it.
  • Compatibility with Apple's rumored Crossbody Strap magnetic lanyard.

Apple also tested special "tinted" editions of the iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case, which might be released later, according to Majin Bu.

Apple's annual iPhone event is a little over a week away, so we will find out of this redesigned Clear Case is the real deal soon.

Surely that big white rectangle is just a piece of paper or a removable label, right? Right?

A part of me still hopes all of these leaks that have basically confirmed how the iPhone 17 is going to look are all planted leaks from the Cookie himself and that the actual iPhones 17 will look much much better than that.

This is the first time I think Apple is going to disappoint me design-wise.
