Despite Lawsuit: Jon Prosser Shows Details of the iPhone 17 Pro

The US tech YouTuber Jon Prosser is the focus of a lawsuit from the Apple corporation. He is accused of gaining unauthorized access to an Apple employee's iPhone to publish trade secrets. Apple sees this as a clear legal violation and accuses Prosser of spreading internal material about the pre-release version of iOS 26. This included changes to the camera app and hints of a new user interface.

Leaker Responds with New Video

Instead of retreating, Prosser has now released another video on his channel "Front Page Tech." In it, he presents a 3D rendering of the anticipated iPhone 17 Pro – including an animated intro sequence in the style of Apple. The clip summarizes existing leaks but also adds new details about the design and hardware.

New Camera Module and Thicker Casing

According to the video, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to receive a revised camera section: The so-called "camera bump" extends horizontally across the back and is no longer part of an aluminum unibody but is surrounded by glass. The casing is expected to be slightly thicker – from 8.3 to around 8.7 millimeters. According to Prosser, this may make room for an improved telephoto zoom module with periscope optics.

Technical Changes and New Colors

Additionally, the flash and Lidar sensor are expected to move to new positions. The telephoto camera could potentially operate with 48 megapixels instead of the current 12. A new color variant is also being considered – with options like dark blue, dark orange, or bronze being mentioned. Furthermore, the Apple logo on the back is expected to be slightly shifted downwards and receive a chip identification.

Larger Battery for More Runtime

A report from "Forbes" suggests a significant increase in battery capacity. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to feature a battery with about 5,000 mAh – compared to the approximately 3,600 mAh of the current iPhone 16 Pro, this would be a significant step.

Lawsuit Could Have Long-Term Consequences

Although Apple is taking legal action against Prosser, he remains unimpressed so far. The legal dispute is likely not over yet – and could influence how tech leaks are legally assessed in the future.
