The annual updates of iPhone devices have not brought significant changes. At least, in recent years it is quite difficult to notice the design differences and top features, compared to previous models. However, the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro, expected later this year, promises to bring some notable improvements that will make this model noticed both aesthetically and functionally, compared to its predecessors.
Apple seems to be ready to redefine the experience of users with iPhone 17 Pro, introducing changes that not only improve performance, but also transforms design into a way that has not been seen for some time. From a new design of the camera to an innovative device's back construction, iPhone 17 Pro is ready to provide users another experience.

Redsign for the camera of the iPhone 17 Pro
For the first time at the iPhone 11 Pro now, it seems that Apple will radically change the rear camera. Although it remains in the triangular configuration with three lenses, the camera ensemble on the back will no longer be framed in a rounded square, but will be integrated into a horizontal bar that crosses the back of the phone. Basically, it will be a rectangle at the top. Elements such as the Lidar scanner, the flash and the microphone will be positioned on the right side of this bar, which will most likely be colored in tune with the phone case.

Personally, I think that after this extension of the back space for the main camera, the design of the new iPhone 17 Pro will be less pleasant than in previous models.
Aluminum housing and a newly covered new back with glass
It seems that Apple wants to give up the titanium carcasses and return to the aluminum for iPhone 17 Pro. This would be a step ago a few generations ago, during which Apple also tested the stainless steel housings. This change will allow a new back design that, according to some sketches fall by the leaker Sonny Dickson, will include aluminum on the back, with a glass window for wireless charging and Magsafe. This design contrasts with the unique glass sheet used for the back of the iPhone in recent years.

iPhone 17 Pro will have vapor cooling system
This would really be a novelty for Apple devices. It is rumored that Apple will implement a vapor room cooling system in the iPhone 17 Pro, which will allow the running and games for long performances for longer periods. It is known that in more complex processes, iPhone devices warm up quite a lot, which reduces performance and leads to battery degradation.

Also, the new cooling system could also facilitate a faster load, especially when the device is held in the protective cover and the ambient temperature is high.
Other minor improvements
In addition to the changes I said above, the iPhone 17 Pro will include a series of smaller but useful upgrades: a new Apple Wi-Fi chip, 12 GB RAM, 24 MP front camera, 48 MP telephoto camera and the possibility of dual video recording directly from the camera application.
Although the initial rumors suggested a smaller dynamic island (Dynamic Island), this change will not be present.
Conclusion
If you want an iPhone to look and feel different in a significant way, iPhone 17 Pro promises to be the model that will meet this expectation. With an innovative design and interesting technical improvements, this model is ready to redefine standards for future generations of iPhone.
