It looks like the iPhone 17 will give people some new room to express themselves.
Prominent leaker Majin Bu shared some imagesKX over the weekend of purported case designs for the iPhone 17 Pro, specifically. The cases themselves aren't all that remarkable, but one thing about them sticks out: a new camera bar that runs the horizontal length of the phone's backside. Not only does this look different on its own, but it opens up some new opportunities for customization, too.

As you can see, the triple lens array is in the same spot as it was on the iPhone 16 Pro, but the LiDAR and flash modules are all the way on the right side of the phone now, with a big camera bump encasing all of that. While its look and shape are not all that similar, it's at least spiritually close to what Google has done with most recent Pixel models. There were also some recent leaked dummy models of the new iPhone lineup that matched this leak in that regard, though the base iPhone 17 model didn't have the extended camera bar there.
That's not all, though. Majin Bu would later go on to share some camera covers you'll be able to optionally put over the camera bar for added customization. Since there's plenty of empty space between the lenses on the left and the modules on the right, you'll theoretically be able to put punchy visual designs in that space now.

This would not only allow people to further express themselves with new camera covers, but it would be a boon to accessory makers, who would now have a fun new thing to sell people. Apple, of course, could also produce its own camera covers and sell them for "premium" prices. Everyone wins.
