iPhone 17 Pro Prototype Seen in San Francisco
Photos posted by X user @Skyfops show a man holding two iPhones in Union Square, San Francisco. One of them is believed to be the unreleased iPhone 17 Pro, wrapped in a thick black protective case meant to hide its full design.
- The other device in his hand appears to be an iPhone 16 Pro with Apple’s internal tracking sticker.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman even reposted the images, saying, “This looks legit,” which adds weight to the leak.
Even with the black case, there are several design hints:
- New horizontal camera bar running across the back.
- Three camera lenses grouped on the left side.
- LED flash, LiDAR scanner, and a microphone lined up vertically on the right side.
- An extra camera button on the top-right corner — adding to the one expected on the right side frame.
These details match previous CAD renders and rumors, suggesting this leak might indeed be genuine.
Expected iPhone 17 Series Lineup
Apple is said to launch four models under the iPhone 17 lineup:
| Model | Highlights (Rumored) |
|---|---|
| iPhone 17 | New colors (Green & Purple tipped) |
| iPhone 17 Air | Slimmer, lightweight design |
| iPhone 17 Pro | Redesigned camera bar, 8x zoom |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | Larger screen, pro camera features |
iPhone 17 Pro Major Camera Upgrades Coming?
Another Leak from MacRumors suggest Apple is serious about camera improvements this year:
- 8x optical zoom to challenge Samsung’s Ultra series.
- A moving lens system for DSLR-like zoom control.
- A dedicated Camera Control button for easier shooting.
- A Pro Camera app with manual controls for creators.
If true, the iPhone 17 Pro could be Apple’s biggest leap in mobile photography yet.
But Is This Leak Real?
The source of the photos isn’t a well-known leaker, so there’s still some doubt. However, the details line up with earlier reports, and Gurman’s reaction suggests this might actually be a real test device.
The iPhone 17 Pro is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most ambitious upgrades, especially for photographers and content creators. If the leaks hold true, expect:
- A fresh design with a full-width camera bar.
- Powerful new camera features including 8x zoom.
- Two camera buttons for better shooting control.
With an expected September 2025 launch, the iPhone 17 series could be Apple’s most exciting lineup in years. Stay tuned for more iPhone 17 series leaks and updates on Mobile Clusters.
