Reliable sources are finally talking about an iPhone 17 camera bar, so let's break down why Apple might want to make this radical design change.
So, even though the iPhone Pro at 8.3mm thick likely has space for the current components, a camera bar would allow for even more advanced components.
Apple doesn't sell tapered iPhones and generally doesn't treat the camera bump as a part of the case thickness, so this could be a slight allusion to the camera bar.
Apple's iPhone 17 could use a camera bar similar to Google Pixel.
The triangle formation of the iPhone 17 Pro camera system would remain so Apple wouldn't have to change how its computational photography works.
