Images shared by an informant on X, formerly known as Twitter, suggest that the iPhone 17 may have a camera module that has not been seen before in Apple mobile phones. The images came from a source at leaker Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial).
The images supposedly show a carcass, or possibly a case, of the iPhone 17. The camera module will be pill-shaped horizontally.
Majin Bu said, “According to my source, this could be the new design of the iPhone 17. I can’t be sure if it is real, but if so, it reflects the leaked design.” broadcasting.

At the left end of the module is the main camera (visible in the image crop). LED flash would be positioned on the right side.
It is possible to see the following from the image shared by Majin Bu: just a camera cut. However, it seems unlikely that the company will adopt single lenses on the mainline again, so there is a possible inconsistency in this leak.
In any case, if this is the design language adopted in the iPhone 17, It’s impossible not to associate it with the Pixel 9’s appearance. Similarly, Google’s 2024 launch features cameras and LED flash in the rear pill module.
Launch still a long way off
It hasn’t been that long since the iPhone 16 was introduced, so the launch of the iPhone 17 is still a ways away. THE Apple’s next handset should only be announced between September and October this year.
In any case, if the rumor about the visual revision is true, it is expected to appear again in future leaks. In fact, all you have to do is follow the news to see whether the iPhone 17 will have this new module.
