Excessive camera protrusion on the iPhone 17 could potentially overstep boundaries.
Unleashing some major secrets in the tech world, it appears an exclusive, unverified image of a purported iPhone 17 case has made its way online, giving us a sneak peek at a radical design overhaul that could be busting onto the scene for Apple's upcoming iPhone.
On April 9, renowned X user Sonny Dickson, the master of revealing Apple secrets, tweeted a tantalizing photo showcasing what appears to be cases tailored for the iPhone 17 Pro. Since Apple has kept their cards deceptively close to their chest with regards to their next iPhone's design, it's difficult to say whether this case is the real deal or just another apple (no pun intended) of someone's imagination. However, it matches an earlier set of iPhone 17 mock-ups that Dickson leaked last month, fueling speculation that it might be the actual deal.
First Glimpse at the New iPhone 17 Pro Cases - Oh Boy, that Camera Hole is Remarkable! The image revealed an enlarged gap, dubbed a camera bump, that seemingly sprawls across one-third of the phone's backside. If the mock-ups leaked last month are accurate, this design is intended for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air (or "Slim") will reportedly sport a slightly smaller camera bump, while the base iPhone 17 will maintain a compact bump.
The Crazy-Large Camera Bump - Is it Going Too Far?
I, for one, am not a fan of the enormous camera bump on the leaked iPhone 17 designs. Generally, I'm all about minimizing the camera bump, regardless of whether I'm using an iPhone or Android phone. Granted, personal taste partially plays a role here, but it's also about practicality. Gigantic camera bumps can be quite bothersome in everyday life, even for minor issues like when your phone can't lie flat on a desk without a case.

In closing, I'd like to say that while the iPhone 17's camera bump might be turning heads due to its mammoth size, that's not necessarily a good thing. It's worth waiting for Apple's official reveal to find out if this design change brings about any other improvements that might justify its questionable aesthetics. If rumors of impending price hikes due to Trump administration tariffs come to fruition, though, you may want to start saving up for an iPhone 17 sooner rather than later.
