Apple is just days away from revealing its newest iPhones during its “Awe dropping” event on September 9th. It seems like this year’s launch will offer more than just a simple spec bump, as rumors point to an ultra-thin iPhone arriving alongside the rest of Apple’s upgraded smartphone lineup.

One of the first things you’ll probably notice about the supposed renderings and dummy models of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max from leakers like Majin Bu is the protruding camera bumps on the back.

The Pro-level models are also rumored to come with an upgraded 24MP selfie camera, a more powerful A19 Pro processor, and 12GB of RAM — up from 8GB on the iPhone 16. Additionally, leaker Ice Universe has said the iPhone 17 Pro Max might have a thicker profile to fit a larger battery.
Other rumors suggest that iPhone 17 Pro models could swap a titanium body for a potentially lighter aluminium chassis. Based on dummy units shared by leaker Sonny Dickson, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could come in four colors: silver, black, navy blue, and orange.
