Nonetheless, with a mounting number of such leaks, it is starting to look possible that the design of the iPhone 17 range will be much more of a significant one than was seen between the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16 ranges.
With Apple rumors, there is quite often smoke without any fire, but a new leak backs up sporadic previous claims about the design of the iPhone 17 range.
Previous rumors have said, for instance, that at least the iPhone 17 Pro will feature a new camera bar layout.
The latest in a series of leaks about the physical chassis design of the iPhone 17 range says that it will be a significant departure from previous models.
It was claimed that the iPhone 17 Pro would move away from titanium to a "part-aluminum, part-glass design," although that rumor was later contradicted by another leaker.
