- iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case leak suggests a larger rear camera cutout spanning the device’s width.
- The redesigned case would mark one of the biggest accessory updates in recent iPhone generations.
- Official details will be confirmed at Apple’s annual launch event next week.
Apple is getting ready to launch the iPhone 17 series on September 9, but images of what is claimed to be the iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case have surfaced online ahead of the “Awe Dropping” event. While it’s still unclear whether the cases are real or replicas, the photos reveal three notable design overhauls that could change your thoughts on Apple’s new design shift.
iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case leak shows bigger camera cutout
The biggest change is the rear camera cutout. According to leaked images from Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have a much larger camera bump that goes all the way across the top of the device. This supports other reports that Apple is making major upgrades to its camera hardware for the new Pro models.
Redesigned MagSafe design
Another change is in the MagSafe design. Instead of the usual circular ring with a line, the new case has a white rounded rectangle around the magnets. This could mean Apple has improved its wireless charging system or made it work better with accessories.
Support for Apple’s Crossbody Strap
The third new feature is that the cases will work with Apple’s new Crossbody Strap magnetic lanyard. This new accessory will give users a hands-free way to carry their iPhone, much like the popular phone straps already available in some markets.
Possible tinted case editions
Majin Bu has also claimed that Apple has tested versions of the iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case with different colors. It’s not clear if these will be available at launch, but if they are, it would be a change from Apple’s usual approach of only offering a clear case.
What’s next
With Apple’s yearly iPhone event just a few days away, these leaks have raised a lot of questions about the iPhone 17. If the leaks are correct, the new case design would confirm some of the most major changes Apple has made to its main smartphones in a long time.
