Stunning iPhone 17 Pro render helps the rumored two-tone redesign make sense

We have about five months to go until Apple unveils the iPhone 17 series, but it already feels like we know everything about this year's iPhone generation.

We're still getting four new models, but the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air will replace the Plus model that Apple has sold for two years. The Air will feature a new horizontal single-lens camera bar on the back. That's what all rumors say, and we saw renders and dummy units to back up those leaks.

The larger bump might be related to Apple's need to have Face ID on the front of the phone. The Face ID module might be thicker than Apple wants it to be, hence the extra bump on the back of the handset. That's all speculation at this point.

What matters here is that three of the four iPhone 17 flavors will have horizontal camera bumps on the back, though I think only the iPhone 17 Air really needs one. The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will get elongated camera modules, so they're visually similar to the Air. That's what I think. Apple needs this "newness" element so that less tech-savvy iPhone buyers know these handsets are the 2025 models.

Reports also say Apple is going for a two-tone design on the back of the iPhone 17 Pros. The camera bump will be made of metal, probably aluminum, and the bottom part will be made of glass, which can support wireless charging (see the purported iPhone 17 CAD renders below).

That choice of materials doesn't necessarily have to mean we'll see where the glass ends and metal begins. The stunning render you're about to see shows what an iPhone 17 Pro (or Pro Max) would look like in a single color choice.
