Apple
iPhone 17
series is expected to launch in September 2025. Ahead of the official release, leaks have revealed new details about the upcoming models, including possible design changes and features. Tipster Majin Bu recently posted images of the alleged cases for the iPhone 17 lineup — including the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Air, and 17 Pro Max — on X (formerly Twitter). According to the post, the cases are already available for pre-order via direct messages, even though the phone launch is still about four months away. 'iPhone 17 series cases available in various styles, to pre-order send me a message,' the post reads.
Apple iPhone 17 series cases leaked
The leaked cases have a transparent back with white MagSafe detailing, similar to Apple's current 'Clear Case with MagSafe' for existing iPhone models. The leaked case images suggest that the
iPhone 17 Pro
and 17 Pro Max will continue to have large camera modules.
The iPhone 17 case has the smallest camera cutout, only slightly bigger than the iPhone 16. The case for the
iPhone 17 Air
, which is rumored to be a slimmer model, shows a cutout that stretches across the back of the phone, similar to Pixel phones but placed higher up.
Notably, these details align with previous leaks about the upcoming models. As per previous leaks, Apple may use a new "camera bar" design on the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max.
Bloomberg's Mark has said that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a single-color back. The camera section will match the rest of the phone. Reports also suggest that
iPhone 17 Pro Max
may come with a two-tone back, with the camera area in a different color from the rest of the phone.
Apple iPhone 17 series expected features
Apple
is rumoured to introduce the 120Hz ProMotion display for the first time on the standard iPhone 17 model. This refresh rate was previously only available on the Pro versions. The new display is expected to use LTPO OLED panels from Samsung, which are more power-efficient. There is also speculation that this change could allow for an always-on display, although that has not been confirmed.
One of the major changes expected with the iPhone 17 series is that all models may offer a 24MP selfie camera, a major upgrade over the 12MP sensors found in the iPhone 16 series. Further, the Pro models may feature three 48MP sensors on the rear, again a first for iPhones. iPhone 17 Air, on the other hand, may come with a single 48MP camera, reports say.
For Pro models, the company is likely to opt for a horizontal camera bar to house the three sensors.
Other likely features on iPhone 17 series are A19 Bionic chipset, iOS 19, and upgraded Wi-Fi.
Apple may discontinue Plus model with iPhone 17 series
Online rumours indicate that Apple may discontinue the "Plus" variant from the iPhone 17 series. The decision is believed to be based on lower-than-expected demand for the model. It may be replaced with the slimmer model of the iPhone 17 series.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he loves Google, Apple: 'I don't think this is...'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared one of the "best compliments" he received about his company, while also revealing a perspective on some of the world's largest tech giants and industry rivalries. While expressing affection for companies like Google , Apple and others, Altman highlighted a unique quality he believes sets OpenAI apart. "This was actually one of the best nicest compliments I ever heard about OpenAI," Altman said in a podcast hosted by his brother Jack Altman. "Just someone said it's the only tech company that has ever not felt somewhat adversarial to me," he recounted. Altman says 'criticism' of Google, Apple and Meta 'unfair' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Altman elaborated on this sentiment, painting a picture of how other major players, despite their undeniable utility, can sometimes feel at odds with user interests. "You have like Google trying to show me worse and worse search results and show me ads. I love Google, I love all these companies. I don't think this is like totally fair," he quickly clarified, acknowledging his appreciation for their contributions. "You have like Meta trying to like hack my brain and get me to keep scrolling. You have Apple that made this phone that I love but is like, you know, bombarding me with notifications and like distracting me from everything else and I can't quit," he continued. In contrast, Altman sees OpenAI's flagship product, ChatGPT , as fundamentally different. "And then you have like ChatGPT and I feel like it's like kind of just trying to help me with whatever I ask and that's kind of a nice thing," he concluded, emphasising the unadulterated helpfulness he perceives in his company's AI. Sam Altman also noted two things that will dominate in the upcoming years: Self driving cars and humanoid robots.
