iPhone 17 Pro Max Concept Renders Showcase Leaked Camera Module Design
These renders sprang from a Russian YouTube video and are based on the leaked information which provides insight into what the iPhone 17 Pro Max might look like. If Apple has such a makeover planned, this could be the first major design refresh the company’s flagship smartphone has had since the iPhone 11 Pro series in 2019.
The leaks in question, which were posted on Weibo based on supply chain information, are for the next generation of iPhones, the iPhone 17 series. The renders also imply that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will sport an ample horizontal camera layout up top for the camera sensors, similar to the sensor orientation on devices such as the Google Pixel series. Nearby are the main and telephoto sensors along with an LED flash module in between the two.
Flipping to the front, the iPhone 17 Pro Max renders show the same Dynamic Island, as well as ultra-narrow bezels. However, since these are concept-based renders derived from early leaks, the final design may differ. More details will likely emerge if Apple proceeds with a design revamp in 2025.
Additionally, rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will abandon its titanium body in favor of aluminum, with some areas of the rear panel possibly switching to aluminum as well. There’s also speculation that the Dynamic Island will be shortened, providing more screen space.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to feature a 6.9-inch 120Hz ProMotion display, an A18 Pro 3nm second-generation chip with Apple Intelligence, and potentially a larger battery. It may also come with 48MP triple rear camera sensors and a 24MP front-facing camera for selfies. The iPhone 17 series is anticipated to debut in September 2025, with India among the launch markets.
