The leaker responded to another “X” user who noticed the anomaly by stating, “I suppose there was an error in the drawings, in reality, it will be as I already showed in the CAD.” The CAD image of the case for the iPhone 17 Pro appeared last month showing off the length of the camera bar as it runs from the left edge to the right edge. So if the drawing in Majin Bu’s “X” post dated today, March 27, 2025, confuses you, you need to understand that yes, there is an issue with the new render.

Some iPhone users have already made their displeasure of the new look known by calling the rear camera bar ugly. Others have called it a ripoff of the rear camera bar used on Google’s Pixel phones. If you’re hoping that the leaks are wrong, you might as well resign yourself to the new look now. While there is still plenty of time left before Apple unveils the iPhone 17 series in September, we’ve seen too many renders indicating that we will see the large edge-to-edge camera bar on the iPhone 17 Pro when it is officially announced.
