Although dummy units of the iPhone 17 Pro have been sighted before, the most recent ones are a little different. An outline on the back of the gadget, located beneath the camera bar, is one feature that is easily visible in the picture that Sonny Dickson posted of the dummy devices on X.
According to our earlier reports, Apple may introduce its newest iPhone 17 models with a design that is partially glass and partially aluminium. The outline is "where the glass will change."
As previously said, the iPhone 17 Pro variants will be constructed from various materials, including a rectangular piece of glass in the centre of the device that may be integrated into the chassis to preserve wireless charging and MagSafe functionality.
The glass section will occupy the same position as the Apple logo, and the dummy units' MagSafe design indicates that magnets will be housed behind the intricate aluminium and glass construction of Apple's next iPhone 17 Pro models. According to earlier reports from The Information, Apple is choosing a design partially made of glass and partially made of aluminium to increase the device's longevity.

This indicates that the business has decided to use an aluminium frame in place of the titanium frame on the existing models. With the release of the iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple debuted the titanium coating, and it will only take two generations before switching back to aluminium.
In addition to the new materials, Apple intends to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup¡ªaside from the base model¡ªwith a redesigned rear camera bar. Specifically, the iPhone 17 Pro models will have a larger camera bar with an LED flash, a LiDAR scanner, and a triple-lens camera arrangement.
A single-lens camera sensor, an LED flash, and a microphone will be the sole features of the iPhone 17 Air, which will still have the camera bar. Given its lack of innovation in the past, which has led to poor sales in some places, including China, Apple may be attempting to redesign the iPhone 17 Pro design.
Furthermore, the new look might have been a deliberate decision to divert attention from Apple's tardiness in releasing Apple's Intelligence capabilities.
