iPhone 17 Pro screen shape revealed: Smart Island is reduced for the first time

 multiple sources have confirmed that Apple will use Metalens technology on the iPhone 17 Pro series to shrink the Face ID module, thereby reducing the opening of the Smart Island.

The whistleblower made a screen rendering of the iPhone 17 Pro based on the information, and its Smart Island area is much smaller than that of the current iPhone 16 Pro series.

This is also the first major change to the front of the iPhone 14 Pro after the use of Smart Island.

In addition, the borders will be further narrowed, and the overall visual effect will be stronger, gradually approaching Steve Jobs’ ideal mobile phone at the time – a piece of “magical glass”, simple, light and without unnecessary elements .

According to the current evolutionary direction, Apple will eventually move towards a single-hole or no-hole solution, but the timeline will be longer.

According to known information, there are also major changes in the back of the iPhone 17 Pro series. It will adopt a splicing solution of aluminum and glass. The upper part is aluminum and the lower part is glass. It supports wireless charging. This new design is Apple’s most significant adjustment in recent years.

In addition, this time the iPhone 17 series has discontinued the Plus model and added the iPhone 17 Air, forming a new product matrix of standard version, Air version, Pro version and Pro Max version.
