Overview
- The 10‑second video posted on Weibo purports to show a production iPhone 17 Pro Max in a factory with a full‑width camera bar across the top.
- Accessory images shared by Evan Blass depict cases matching the bar‑style camera layout, lending credibility to the design leak even as authenticity remains unverified.
- Leaked material indicates three main lenses in a triangular arrangement with additional sensors, plus a split back that appears to pair a metal camera section with glass to preserve MagSafe charging.
- Apple’s event is scheduled for September 9, with some outlets reporting preorders could start September 12 and retail availability on September 19, though specifications and colors have not been announced.
- Reports continue to point to a new ultrathin iPhone 17 Air around 5.5 mm thick, while Google has mocked the rumored bar design and Samsung dummies suggest a similar direction for a future Galaxy S26 Edge.
