Rumors related to the iPhone 17 Pro are almost unanimous in that the camera cluster is redesigned in a horizontal bar shape, occupying a large area on the back. Some people think that this detail is not beautiful and lacks sophistication.

However, if Apple decides to place the camera cluster horizontally, it certainly has many reasons. As for accessory manufacturers, they have found the benefits of the new design.

On social network X, Majin Bu account posted images of uniquely designed cases to cover the horizontal camera bar of the iPhone 17 Pro.

Many people have used protective camera cases in the past, but the newly revealed accessory has a greater effect, both preventing scratches and expressing personality. According to 9to5mac , this is an interesting way to turn the seemingly large camera cluster into a unique highlight.

In addition to the new design, large area, occupying almost the entire width and thicker than the previous generation, the camera cluster of iPhone 17 Pro can change structure as well as upgrade features.

Recent rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have an LED flash and LiDAR sensor in the right corner instead of near the triple-lens cluster as before, and will be able to record video simultaneously with both the front and rear cameras.

According to the usual launch schedule, Apple may announce the iPhone 17 series in mid-September 2025. This year, in addition to notable changes in the Pro and Pro Max versions, Apple is likely to introduce the iPhone 17 Air version, which is thinner and lighter, with a larger screen than the basic model.
