Apple's next flagship, the iPhone 17 Pro, appears to have made an early public appearance weeks ahead of its expected September launch. A leaked video posted by user @Skyfops on social media platform X shows a person using what seems to be the iPhone 17 Pro in public, fueling speculation around the device’s final design and camera setup.
The short clip reveals a new rectangular rear camera module with the flash sitting far away from the sensors—consistent with earlier leaks—and possibly hints at the rumored "Capture Button" along the edge, which is expected to offer granular control over focus and zoom while recording videos. This button may allow real-time camera adjustments through a combination of pressure sensitivity and gestures.
While the veracity of these claims cannot be verified, tipster Fox Puppy says that one of the people accompanying the man filming “was security and trying to go in front of the iPhone to hide it.”
While Apple has not confirmed any design changes, the frequency and consistency of recent leaks suggest a significant camera overhaul in the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. The device in the video appears sleeker, with a refined frame and a repositioned camera layout, possibly aligning with the earlier CAD renders that surfaced online.
As anticipation builds, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in September alongside iOS 26. The early public spotting only adds to the growing excitement among Apple fans and industry watchers alike.
