Apple’s iPhone 17 series is just weeks away from its debut, and excitement about the new flagship launches is palpable. Ahead of the launch, a new leak has revealed that Apple’s design change for the iPhone 17 Pro could help the Cupertino-based tech giant reposition antennas on the two models, which could in turn lead to better cellular performance compared to older iPhones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
We have been hearing for months now that Apple<\/a> will ditch its square-ish camera module on the iPhone 16 Pro in favour of a rectangular camera island that will encompass the entire top half of the device.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, a new leak by tipster Majin Bu reveals that the company is also looking to reposition the antennas around the rear camera module. This approach is expected to shield the antennas from interference and improve performance in congested environments, potentially leading to a more stable connection while travelling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The idea appears to take inspiration from the Apple Watch Ultra<\/a>, where antennas are integrated strategically to maximise reception and signal stability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On current iPhones, Apple places its antennas around the side edges. While the new change in antenna positioning may be coming to iPhone 17 Pro models, it is not yet clear if the same will apply to the iPhone 17 Air and the standard iPhone 17<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bu states that repositioning the antennas will lead to the iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> models offering enhanced 5G mmWave performance, reduced latency, improved efficiency, and more optimised internal space for components like the battery and thermal systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
