Next iPhone 17 promises to introduce an important innovation in design thanks to the adoption of a new process fusion between glass and metal. A reveal it is the Chinese Fixed Focus Digital account on Weibo, which talks about a more homogeneous and refined aesthetic for the next flagship models from Apple.
According to rumors, Apple has developed advanced manufacturing techniques for create a smoother transition between the camera module and the back of the device. The main innovation would concern the transition from a “step” connection to a “slope” one. In practice, the camera module will no longer appear to protrude abruptly from the body, but will be integrated with a softer and more elegant transition.
An interesting detail is that the back of the phone could combine aluminum and glass for an innovative visual result. In the models Pro e Pro Maxthe back will be divided: the upper part in aluminum, while the lower part will remain in glass to ensure compatibility with wireless charging.
Another novelty concerns the frame of the models iPhone 17 Pro e Pro Maxwhich will abandon titanium to return to aluminium. This choice could be dictated by production needs or by Apple’s desire to make the devices lighter and more manageable, while maintaining high robustness.
Another distinctive element will be the rear camera modulewhich should adopt a completely revised design. The first rumors speak of a bump made of aluminum, with a shape that some define as “elongated rectangular”, while other sources suggest an oval profile. This change, in addition to adding a touch of originality, could improve the protection of the lenses and the overall aesthetics of the device.
If he iPhone 17 Pro focuses on technical innovation and refined design, the model iPhone 17 Airwhich is expected to replace the Plus version, will focus on an ultra-light and thin structure. With an estimated thickness between 6 e i 6,25 mmwill probably be the thinnest smartphone ever produced by Apple. The philosophy behind the Air seems to want to combine elegance and lightness, sacrificing some advanced features present in the Pro models to reach a more competitive price.
The entire line of iPhone 17 it is expected for September 2025, but the rumors about design and materials only increase the wait. Apple seems intent on balancing innovation and tradition, introducing significant aesthetic changes without distorting the DNA that distinguishes iPhones.
As always, we will have to see if these previews will translate into a product capable of surprising fans and exceeding expectations. In the meantime, we can only imagine how Apple will manage to combine design, performance and functionality in its new devices.
