Recent rumors indicate a significant design shift for the upcoming iPhone 17, as evidence mounts from a tipster who has revealed a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) render of the basic model’s case. A striking change is evident on the rear side, where a prominent pill-shaped cutout is designated to accommodate the camera and other components. Here’s an in-depth look at the latest leak.
Insights from the Latest Case CAD Render
Regardless of whether the case design, shared by tipster Majin Bu on X, is authentic, it gives us a glimpse into the potential new aesthetics of the iPhone 17 compared to previous iPhone models. Earlier this year, similar design details were hinted at by the same informant, indicating a rear camera cutout positioned on the left-hand side, paired with a minor circular hole on the opposite side, likely intended for the LED flash. The current render supports this notion, suggesting that the primary camera sensor will prominently feature on the left, along with updates on button placements.
Design Consistency and Button Arrangements
Interestingly, the CAD render suggests that the base model of the iPhone 17 will maintain the configuration seen in the iPhone 16, with the Camera Control and volume rockers situated on the same side. Additionally, a cutout has been noted at the bottom of the case for the charging port. While we encourage our readers to approach these leaks with caution, it’s not unusual for accessory manufacturers to obtain schematics ahead of the official release. This practice allows them to prepare for mass production of cases as the launch date approaches.

Majin Bu claims to have sourced this design information from contacts within an iPhone 17 case supplier’s network. It’s hoped that Apple embraces a bold new design, as relying solely on internal upgrades may limit the continued success of the iPhone line. We will keep you updated with any fresh details as they come to light.
