iPhone 17 Series: What’s New and What BlackBrook Case Offers

Apple is gearing up to launch its iPhone 17 lineup this September, and early leaks suggest the most notable redesign in years. With camera upgrades across the board, a new ultra-thin model, and subtle changes to materials and size, the iPhone 17 series looks set to draw serious attention.

At BlackBrook Case, we’re fully prepared. As always, our handcrafted leather cases will be available for all four new models, ready to ship the day Apple makes its announcement. Below, you’ll find a quick breakdown of what’s coming from Apple’s technology, followed by a detailed look at our updated case offerings.

What to Expect from Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will include four models:

  • iPhone 17
  • iPhone 17 Pro
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max
  • iPhone 17 Air (replacing the Plus)
4 iPhone 17 series

Design Refresh Across the Line

The iPhone 17 series introduces a wider, horizontal camera island that replaces the vertical bump seen in recent models. It creates a more balanced design and makes room for larger sensors.

Apple is also streamlining device sizes. The standard iPhone 17 remains at 6.1″, while the 17 Pro increases slightly to 6.3″. The Pro Max stays at 6.9″, and the new 17 Air sits at 6.6″, but with a notably thinner profile—just 5.5 mm thick, according to leaks.

Another shift: Apple is expected to move back to an aluminum frame on the Pro models, moving away from last year’s titanium finish. The front-facing TrueDepth camera might also be moved under the display in higher-end models, eliminating the visible notch.

Camera Improvements: Pro and Pro Max

The iPhone 17 Pro models are rumored to get four notable camera upgrades:

  • All rear lenses upgraded to 48 MP, offering higher detail and better low-light performance
  • Front-facing camera increased to 24 MP, for clearer selfies and video
  • Multi-lens recording capabilities directly in the native Camera app
  • AI-assisted enhancements for photo and video processing

However, Google Pixel 10 Pro rumors and leaks indicate substantial AI integration that enhances productivity and user experience. Performance improvements for the flagship are also expected, including a next-generation Tensor chip, 120 Hz LTPO displays, Wi‑Fi 7 support, and optimized thermal architecture for sustained power efficiency.
