Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 17 series later this year, likely in September based on past release trends. This means we are about five months away from the declaration.
In the coming months, we can expect a mix of rumors regarding the design of the iPhone 17 adn iPhone 17 Pro models. A few months ago, there were claims that the Pro versions would feature a new camera bar on their back, resembling designs seen in Google’s Pixel phones.
There were also suggestions that these models would have a two-tone back. Some early images showed a black camera bar against a gray body. However, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg recently stated in his newsletter that he heard “the iPhone 17 Pro won’t have a two-toned rear” and that “the camera area will match the color of the rest of the device.”
Will it or won’t it have a two-tone back?
Recently, an online render surfaced supporting Gurman's claim. Posted by kanedacane tweets (@kdctweets) on X (formerly Twitter), this image shows a raised camera bar at the top of the phone matching its overall color. The LED flash is positioned to one side along with LiDAR and microphone components while camera lenses sit on another side.
The post doesn’t provide further details but gives us an idea of what to expect if Gurman’s details holds true regarding no two-tone design.
Whether or not there will be a two-tone rear for iPhone 17 Pro models remains uncertain until Apple officially announces them later this year. Unlike companies like Google or OnePlus, Apple does not tease its device designs before launch events; therefore, we still have several months filled with speculation ahead along with more leaks likely to emerge.
As anticipation builds for Apple's next flagship phones, fans are eager for clarity about their features and design choices. The ongoing debate over whether they will adopt new aesthetics adds excitement but also confusion among potential buyers.
while some reports suggest changes like eliminating dual colors on backsides for these devices may occur soon enough—others remain skeptical until official confirmation arrives from Apple itself during their anticipated reveal event later this year.
