Apple is gearing up to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup next month featuring a redesigned camera island. But before the real thing arrives, a counterfeit version of the Pro model has already hit the market. The images now circulating on social media show a complete iPhone 17 Pro look with the same oversized camera island.

Fake iPhone 17 Pro Surfaces

Famous tipster Sonny Dickson on X (formerly Twitter) has shared some images of a fake iPhone 17 Pro phone. One image shows the iPhone phone box with a black iPhone variant photo on top, the next one shows the back of the fake silver iPhone and the last one shows the front of the phone with the display on.

This fake iPhone 17 Pro runs on Android and mimics iOS 18 (last year’s version) rather than the upcoming iOS 26. Its design flaws are easy to spot.  The display bezels aren’t symmetrical, the chin is noticeably wide and it appears to use an LCD panel instead of an AMOLED screen.

Surprisingly, the back design including the camera lenses is quite accurate, closely resembling renders of the genuine iPhone 17 Pro. Without placing it next to the real device, telling them apart could be tricky.

That’s why buyers should be cautious when purchasing an iPhone or any premium Android phone from unofficial sources, particularly when the price seems too good to be true.

iPhone 17 Pro – What To Expect?

The authentic iPhone 17 Pro is expected to bring notable camera upgrades with the selfie camera jumping from 12MP to 24MP and the 5x telephoto lens going from 12MP to 48MP. The main camera, however, is likely to stay the same with no change in sensor size or resolution.

Under the hood, Apple’s new A19 Pro chipset will deliver better performance, improved thermal management, and longer battery life. Leaks also suggest 12GB of RAM will come standard, up from last year’s 8GB.

FAQs

Q1. What is the fake iPhone 17 Pro running on?

Answer. The counterfeit iPhone 17 Pro runs on Android and mimics iOS 18, not the upcoming iOS 26. It features noticeable design flaws like asymmetrical bezels, a wide chin, and an LCD panel instead of AMOLED.

Q2. How accurate is the fake iPhone 17 Pro’s design?

Answer. Surprisingly, the back design including the camera lenses closely resembles leaked renders of the real iPhone 17 Pro, making it hard to distinguish without a side-by-side comparison.

Q3. What upgrades are expected in the real iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. The genuine iPhone 17 Pro is expected to feature a 24MP selfie camera, a 48MP telephoto lens, Apple’s new A19 Pro chipset, and 12GB of RAM. The main camera is likely to remain unchanged.

iPhone 17 Pro Rumoured to Feature Apple Watch Ultra-Style Antenna Redesign

0

Highlights

  • The iPhone 17 Pro may feature a redesigned antenna system similar to the Apple Watch Ultra’s multi-band setup.
  • This new placement aims to reduce signal interference and shielding caused by user grip and metal components.
  • Apple could improve electromagnetic energy distribution and boost connectivity in dense urban or indoor environments.

Apple is just weeks away from unveiling the iPhone 17 Pro and every day there is a new update or leak hitting the newsstands. The recent addition to the lore comes from leaker Majin Bu, who has shared another rumour about a major change to its antenna system. Here’s more on that.

iPhone 17 Pro New Antenna Redesign

According to a recent blog post by Majin Bu, Apple plans to reposition the antennas around the large new camera bar on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro. Majin Bu writes, “According to my source, Apple is set to introduce a significant structural change in the iPhone 17 Pro: the repositioning of antennas around the rear camera module. This design choice mirrors the approach used in the Apple Watch Ultra, where antennas are strategically integrated to maximise reception and signal stability.”

The setup would be similar to the multi-band antenna system found in the Apple Watch Ultra, though on a much larger scale. Majin Bu points out that the new camera module is roughly the size of two Apple Watch Ultra displays.

He claims the new placement will make the antenna less prone to signal shielding and interference, which makes sense given that people usually hold their iPhones from the bottom rather than over the camera area.

Another reason for the change is to improve how the antenna’s electromagnetic energy is distributed. In current designs, a user’s grip and nearby metal components can distort the radiation pattern, reducing coverage. As of now, iPhones house antennas along the chassis edges with small breaks in the frame to let signals pass through.

By moving them around the camera module, Apple could achieve a more consistent main lobe spread, minimise shadow zones in vertical and diagonal directions and boost efficiency in busy signal areas like cities or complex indoor spaces.

The camera island is also less susceptible to shielding and interference, making it an ideal location for ensuring a stronger, more reliable connection in crowded environments.

Apple is expected to officially reveal the iPhone 17 Pro in about a month’s time with an event announcement likely coming later this month.

FAQs

Q1. What is the major antenna change expected in the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. Apple is rumoured to reposition the antennas around the rear camera module, adopting a design similar to the Apple Watch Ultra’s multi-band antenna system. This structural change aims to enhance signal reception and stability.

Q2. Why is Apple moving the antennas on iPhone 17 Pro to the camera island?

Answer. The camera island is less prone to signal shielding and interference. Placing antennas there helps distribute electromagnetic energy more evenly, reduces shadow zones, and improves connectivity in crowded or complex environments.

Q3. How does the new iPhone 17 Pro antenna placement improve user experience?

Answer. Since users typically hold their iPhones from the bottom, relocating antennas away from grip areas minimises interference. This leads to stronger, more reliable signals, especially in urban or indoor settings where coverage is often challenged.

YouTube is rolling out wider access to its experimental AI-powered search results carousel for more Premium subscribers, though the feature remains limited to users in the United States.

Google first introduced the AI-powered search carousel for YouTube Premium members in the US back in June. According to YouTube’s New Features page for Premium users, the feature is now available on both iOS and Android until August 20, after which the company may consider a broader release.

How Does AI-Powered Search Work on YouTube?

According to reports, the AI-powered search results carousel helps users discover content more quickly by appearing at the top of certain search results. For certain queries such as those related to shopping, travel, or local activities, the carousel displays a row of relevant videos paired with brief AI-generated topic descriptions.

For example, if you are searching for “Best Restaurants in Tokyo”, the results could show a curated list of videos with quick summaries. This would allow viewers to jump straight to relevant content without browsing the entire results page.

As of now, the experimental feature is exclusive to the YouTube mobile app, supports only English-language videos, and doesn’t appear for all searches. Premium users interested in trying it can opt in via this page. For now, it works only in the United States, but if testing proves successful, YouTube may expand the AI-powered discovery tool to more regions after the trial wraps up later this month.

YouTube has been experimenting with AI-powered search as it explains on the support page, “YouTube is experimenting with an AI-powered carousel of results to enhance video discovery when searching on YouTube.

Apple’s long-awaited Siri overhaul and new App Intents feature designed to let Siri perform actions inside apps. Now, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is now targeting a spring 2026 release. Initially set for launch during the iOS 18 cycle, both features faced engineering setbacks and are now expected to arrive with around iOS 26.4.

The updated Siri is meant to go beyond basic responses, enabling real actions in apps through App Intents. However, Gurman notes internal concerns remain, especially around ensuring the system works with enough apps and is reliable in sensitive areas like health and banking.

Gurman writes, “The plan now is to ship the feature alongside a broader Siri infrastructure overhaul in the spring and market it heavily. But there’s some concern inside the company, I’m told. Engineers have been struggling to ensure that the system works with a sufficient number of apps and is accurate enough to handle high-stakes scenarios. There are worries about the software failing in categories where precision is nonnegotiable, like in health or banking apps.”

Apple is working with select companies to test the system ahead of launch, and App Intents won’t be universally available at first. The company is even considering “sharply limiting what Siri can do — or excluding those areas altogether” for sensitive categories. Developers will get a short preparation window via Apple’s beta program.

Current developer documentation states, “Siri’s personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, and in-app actions are in development and will be available with a future software update.”

Some apps already have a head start. According to Gurman, Apple is collaborating with Uber, AllTrails, Threads, Temu, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp, as well as testing with a few games and Apple’s own apps.

Originally announced at WWDC 2024, the overhaul has been delayed partly due to Apple’s challenge in blending new large language models with legacy Siri components. Given Siri’s already weak reputation in the AI space, Apple has much riding on delivering this upgrade without critical mistakes.
