Apple is gearing up to unveil its iPhone 17 lineup, with the launch event widely expected on September 9. While the company remains silent on details, accessory maker dbrand may have spilled the beans early through its latest Tank case reveal.
A Different Look for the Pro Models
The biggest takeaway from the case leak is the revamped rear camera design for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Earlier renders had suggested Apple was working on a new camera island, but dbrand’s case makes that shift clearer. The case shows a noticeably raised section around the camera module, reinforcing expectations of a redesigned setup.
What Else the Case Shows
Beyond the camera bump, the case also outlines where Apple’s buttons will sit this year. The new camera control button, alongside the familiar action, power, and volume buttons, all get dedicated cutouts. Though the Tank case itself is bulky and doesn’t reveal every design nuance, its layout strongly hints at Apple’s updated hardware approach.
iPhone 17 Lineup Incoming
The Tank case will go on sale in September, timed to match the launch of Apple’s new phones. If rumors hold, Apple will introduce four models: the standard iPhone 17, a thinner “Air” variant, and the higher-end Pro and Pro Max editions.
With Apple expected to highlight camera performance as a major selling point, this design tweak could be an early signal of bigger photographic upgrades coming to the Pro lineup.
