And yes, that massive camera bump might be to blame.

As the iPhone 17 series launch gets closer, leaks are popping up more and more. We have already got a good idea about the color options, what tweaks are coming to the Dynamic Island and if you’ve been following the buzz, you probably know the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are set for a big design shakeup.
One of the most talked-about changes is that massive camera bump on the back. Now, new photos have surfaced showing MagSafe cases for the iPhone 17 series and the ones for the Pro models reveal something new compared to what we’ve seen before.
These images show a frosted MagSafe case with an open magnetic ring – designed to highlight the rumored new Apple logo placement on the Pro models. For comparison, there is a photo of the old full-circle MagSafe design, too, which really highlights the difference.
You can clearly see that the new MagSafe design has a visible gap between the circle and the vertical line. | Image credit – Majin BuThe current MagSafe setup features a full circle above the vertical dash, but the new one has a gap, probably to make room for the Apple logo’s new spot.
