Supply chain leak suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro will look weird

12 December 2024
Apple may be adopting a Google-style visor, but doing so without consideration for holding the phone.

      render makes no sense, unless they put front camera at the bottom or middle screen.

        As it turns out, this image is an unofficial render that was reposted to Weibo and misunderstood.

        Happens all the time.

              "Cupertino has always been cognizant of ergonomics"
              you forgot when Apple told you you're holding your iPhone wrong and not that they placed the antennas where people usually hold their phones right?
              I hope they go with this 🤣🤣 People also told them the asymmetrical stove top camera looks bad but they did it anyway cause Daddy Apple knows best.

                    Anonymuss, 13 Dec 2024Looked weird already without the 3.5mm jack alright!Wait for Apple to bring back the headphone jack and everyone will follow. Such is the world we live in.

                      TP, 13 Dec 2024This is how apple do marketing and always be in news, at th... moreAnd Apple doesn’t have to do anything. All the gullible tech bloggers are doing the marketing for them.

                        Apple are great for looks, but the idea they are any good at ergonomics is laughable as even the current iPhone series are not at all designed for easy comfortable non-lens fouling horizontal use, & the recent flood of negative comments about the useability of the new shutter buttons on the 16 series bear this out.
                        Besides, if you have a Studio or Mac Mini of recent vintage, they are difficult even to find the button to turn them on, and the ports, and the lack and deletion of them, are very difficult of access if your Mac is front-facing, on a desk next to the wall. They are only operable really if the PC is on a table in the middle of the room, as in an office, etc.

                        The very idea they could have even produced a single mockup, determinedly different to the Pixel and hence unusable says it all.

                        The CORRECT placement for lenses is aligned vertically in the centre of the phone, as was the common practice before the quad-pixel era. It is so much better for panning when working and for making sweep panoramas, as you rotate on the natural axis of the phone.
                        Ideally the lenses should be in the centre of the back of the phone to allow comfortable horizontal use with either hand , but look at the iPhones with their lenses jammed up into a corner as though they are of less importance than the battery... not good, as any left-handed person will tell you. A left-handed person needs to abandon use of the shutter button entirely and hold the camera horizontally upside-down to cope!

                            This is how apple do marketing and always be in news, at this point no one knows how final product will look like. but definitely there will be camera button, Titanium for pro and apple says all its phone going forward capable of spatial video which required side by side camera.

                                The ultimate Among Us phone!

                                  Looked weird already without the 3.5mm jack alright!

                                    I know I've rattling about iPhone's over usage of their camera bump design for the past 5 years, but when I wanted to see a new design, I most certainly did not mean a hybrid between a Pixel and an iPhone, like.... 💀 What the heck is that?

                                      How is this possible? Or does this mean that future spatial videos are to be taken in portrait instead of landscape? Seems weird. Maybe they are confused this with a different OEM?

                                        Apple's individuality complex is showing again, trying so hard to be different from the Pixels, even though there is zero reason to have the island that high. Also, when did cameras get this big? It would've looked better if the entire island was smaller.
