iPhone 17 Pro new MagSafe design and lower logo placement shown in case leak

Apple iPhone 17 Pro design leaks: iPhone 17 Pro MagSafe redesign is capturing attention after fresh leaks revealed a subtle yet significant shift in Apple's accessory game. Reports highlight a new MagSafe magnet layout with a gap in the classic circular arrangement, allowing the iPhone Apple logo—now positioned lower—to remain visible when using transparent cases . 

This design tweak hints at a bold rear look that aligns with the rumoured horizontal camera bar stretching across the phone's back, blending form and function. While existing MagSafe accessories will stay compatible, this refresh could mean faster wireless charging and an updated aesthetic ready for a September 2025 launch. 

Stay tuned to find out why this subtle reimagining of MagSafe might redefine how we accessories and experience our next flagship iPhone.

iPhone 17 Pro expected launch timeline

Apple usually follows a consistent launch schedule, and the iPhone 17 base model is expected to be revealed between September 11-13, 2025. Pre-orders could begin immediately after the official unveiling, and if Apple sticks to its traditional timeline, the iPhone 17 series may go on sale around September 19, 2025.

Majin Bu, the leaker, posted a picture of purported MagSafe magnet arrays for third-party iPhone 17 Pro cases. The magnets on current iPhone models with MagSafe create a full circle, whereas the new design has a hole. According to Majin Bu and Sonny Dickson, the iPhone 17 Pro models' larger camera bump will cause the Apple logo on the back to be positioned lower than it is on current iPhone models. 

The new MagSafe design will guarantee the logo is fully visible when an updated MagSafe case protects the devices. This modification seems to be cosmetic, with no functional enhancement, as iPhone case manufacturer sources informed Majin Bu that current MagSafe accessories will continue to work with the iPhone 17 Pro versions. 

According to various rumours, with a future iteration of Apple's MagSafe Charger, the iPhone 17 Pro models may offer at least higher MagSafe charging speeds than earlier generations.

iPhone 17 Pro Performance

Apple's next-generation A19 Pro CPU, which promises improved efficiency and appreciable increases in overall speed and capability, is anticipated to power the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. 

However, the A18 chip—the same CPU currently available in the iPhone 16 series—will probably be retained in the regular iPhone 17 and the 17 Air. 

iPhone 17 Pro Camera

In a research note dated August 2024, Analyst Jeff Pu forecasted that all four iPhone 17 series models will include a 24MP front-facing camera, which would significantly advance above the 12MP selfie camera found in the iPhone 16 lineup. 

In January 2024, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo subsequently reaffirmed this prediction. In October 2024, Pu also disclosed that a revamped horizontal triple-lens rear camera system, including a 48MP telephoto sensor with 3.5x optical zoom, is anticipated to be included in the iPhone 17 Pro.

iPhone 17 Pro's expected price in India

In 2025, Apple is anticipated to keep the base iPhone models priced at the same level. Early rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 may start at ₹89,900 when it launches in India, while the recently released iPhone 17 Air may retail for Rs 99,900. 

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to cost Rs 1,39,900 and Rs 1,64,900 on the top end of the price spectrum. There may be pricing changes closer to the formal announcement because these numbers are based on early leaks and have not yet been officially confirmed by Apple.
