Apple is expected to relocate the iPhone 17 Pro’s antennas to around the giant camera module.
Apple will apparently take advantage of the larger iPhone 17 Pro camera island to improve connectivity and the overall aesthetics.
Majin Bu, who has been the source of many iPhone leaks, claims that the iPhone 17 Pro will borrow a structural design cue from the Apple Watch Ultra. On the wearable, antennas are integrated strategically to optimize reception and signal stability.
At the moment, the iPhone’s antennas are placed on the frame. These antenna lines are quite visible and, quite frankly, not a great look.
And, even if you don’t mind the placement of the antennas, they can interfere with 5G and Wi-Fi 7 signals, as their position makes them susceptible to being covered by a user’s hands.
