The iPhone 17 Pro will keep the same triple-camera setup as the iPhone 16 Pro, but with a new rectangular camera bar.
The LiDAR scanner and LED flash are now aligned vertically on the right side of the camera module.
iOS 19 is expected to overhaul the Camera app, introducing a visionOS-like design with translucent menus.
The iPhone 17 Pro series is expected to see significant improvements in performance, display, camera, and design. Following a number of renders floating around the internet, a new cover design leaked ahead of the launch, revealing how the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera bar could look.
SurveyThe new render shows that the iPhone 17 Pro will have the same triple camera layout as the iPhone 16 Pro. However, one can notice a new rectangular camera bar with rounded corners. Previously, a YouTube channel called Front Page Tech suggested that a new camera bar would be included with the iPhone 17 Pro series.

Additionally, the LiDAR scanner and LED flash are vertically aligned, but unlike the iPhone 16 Pro series, both are now located on the right side of the panel. The leaks also indicate that the camera bar will be darker than the rest of the rear body. However, it is still unclear whether Apple is thinking of making such a major shift in its design language.
