Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup is looking a little Pixelated

Apple is several months away from launching the iPhone 17 series but a significant camera redesign may be on the horizon. Leaker Majin Bu has shared CAD renders of what are purported to be the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and the rumored iPhone 17 Air — with the latter three all featuring Pixel-like rectangular camera bars.

The new CAD renders show the rear camera bars on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models stretched to extend their currently square design, now reaching across the entire upper body. They still retain the rounder edges seen on the current models. The 17 “Air” features a similar design, albeit with only a single rear camera lens. According to these renders, the camera module on the standard iPhone 17 model will be largely unchanged, differentiating it from the premium models.

Majin Bu is an established leaker but, as MacRumors notes, the information he’s shared hasn’t always been correct. These renders are just some of several similar leaks about the iPhone 17’s rectangular camera bar in the last few months, however, with concept designs also shared by Front Page Tech host Jon Prosser and other leakers including Ice Universe, Fixed Focus Digital, and Digital Chat Station.

In January, Majin Bu also posted an image of iPhone bodies alleged to be “part of” the iPhone 17 family. The design looks similar to the iPhone “Air” render he shared yesterday, and resembles the pill-shaped camera bar sported by Google’s Pixel 9 lineup. Rumors about the so-called iPhone 17 Air have been floating around for months describing a new, slimmer model that’s expected to join the upcoming iPhone lineup, similar to Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge.

It’s early days and these leaks shouldn’t be taken as gospel. We won’t know the official iPhone 17 design until Apple reveals it later this year, with an announcement expected sometime in September.

Experts are furious over the FCC’s rosy picture of broadband access

To hear the Federal Communications Commission tell it, this is a golden age for broadband access in the United States. According to a newly released report from the agency on the digital divide, the gap between rural and urban internet access has “narrowed substantially, and more Americans than ever before have access to high-speed broadband.” Between the end of 2016 and the end of 2017, the number of Americans without broadband access fell from about 26 million to about 21 million, the report found. But experts, and even some commissioners at the FCC, say the report is flawed. The data underlying it, they argue, doesn’t truly capture what broadband looks like in rural America — leaving lawmakers and government officials with a warped...
