A new image from Apple leaker Majin Bu provides a new look at the repositioned Apple logo on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. Last week we got our first look at what the new Apple logo placement would look like, though this new image provides a much clearer picture.

One of the less talked about design elements of the new iPhone 17 Pro design is the fact that Apple will be shifting to a two-tone design of sorts, with an all aluminum frame and camera bump. However, for wireless charging, MagSafe, and wireless passthrough – there’ll still be a piece of glass.

This new image reveals one key design detail: the new logo placement isn’t as odd as we initially thought. The Apple logo will still be centered, however it’ll be centered to the piece of glass on the phone, not the actual center of the phone.

I mean, the supposedly new vertical alignment is fine/expected with the surrounding silhouette; I imagine they’ll likely rework the MagSafe placement, too.

It’s certainly still an odd design choice, and it’ll take time to get used to. However, reputable leaker Sonny Dickson backed up the claim shortly after Majin Bu shared it initially – so it seems quite likely that it’ll pan out.

What do you think of the new Apple logo placement on iPhone 17 Pro? Are you a fan of the new design? Let us know in the comments.

Anker 25K Compact Battery Bank

Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
