With each new iPhone generation, interest in possible design changes and technical innovations increases. When it comes to the iPhone 17, three well-known leakers now agree: Majin Bu, Fixed Focus Digital and Ice Universe have published an identical CAD drawing of the new line-up. These sketches show the various camera layouts of the upcoming models for the first time and provide an insight into the possible differences between the variants. Although CAD drawings do not allow any definitive conclusions to be drawn about the final design, they do provide a reliable indication of the arrangement of important elements such as the camera, buttons and sensors. The clear differences in the camera arrangement between the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air and the Pro models are particularly striking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, there have often been conflicting reports about upcoming iPhone models, but this time there is unusually great agreement among the leakers. Majin Bu, who has already attracted attention with accurate predictions about the iPhone 16e, was the first to publish a report about the new iPhone 17 line-up in early January. Shortly afterwards, Fixed Focus Digital and Ice Universe also confirmed the authenticity of the drawing by sharing the sketch. This makes it likely that the designs shown are actually based on official Apple plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The published<\/a> CAD drawings are intended to provide an initial overview of the position of the camera modules, buttons and sensors. They do not show any final details about the housing material or color design, but focus on the technical placement of the external components. A direct comparison with previous leaks shows that the positions of the flash and LiDAR sensor are on the right side. However, it is unclear whether the camera module is raised overall or - as some renderings suggest - is divided into two separate elevations. A special feature of the drawing is an area marked in red, which is not intended to represent a visible element. Rather, it could be a technical marking that no longer appears in the final models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
