"The iPhone 17 is coming, and it's caught the attention of both the internet at large and the Creative Bloq team for one primary reason: its design. Years of near-imperceptible, almost impossibly minute changes to the design of each respective generation of iPhone have led many, both among the tech press (me included) and the public at large, to bemoan Apple's apparent lack of ambition and aversion to risk when it came to product design."
"So when the iPhone 17 design leaked, it was a bit of a shock to those people (again, me included). It looked different. Immediately, noticeably different. The camera array on the 17 Pro looks bigger, bolder and thicker than before, and on the 'junior' models, the camera setup protrudes more, making it an immediately 'shoutier' phone than for the last 1 billion years."
The iPhone 17 reveals notable design departures after years of minor changes. The 17 Pro features a larger, bolder, thicker camera array, while the junior models have more protruding setups. Internal component rearrangements aim to address persistent overheating and allow for a larger battery, contributing to a chunkier external profile. The iPhone 17 Air introduces an ultra-thin variant that contrasts with the bulkier models. Public reaction to the new designs is polarized, with many immediate negative responses online despite the functional motivations behind the changes. The design shifts aim to balance performance, thermals, and distinct visual identity.
