Photo of iPhone 17 dummies shows the new metal and glass design for the iPhone 17 Pros

A few days ago, we saw photos of iPhone 17 dummies, which revealed the major redesign that is coming to Apple’s 2025 phones. Today, a photo of different dummies has surfaced and it reveals interesting details about their construction.

All four models have MagSafe – you can see the characteristic ring of magnets on the back, plus the alignment magnet below that. However, have a closer look at the two Pros, they are the ones with the tall and wide camera islands.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have a cutout surrounding the MagSafe area. Judging by previous reports, the frame will be made of metal – maybe aluminum this time – and there will be a glass window.

For a better idea of what that should look like, here is an old photo of what should be the iPhone 17 Pro frame.

The extra metal on the back of the Pros should help with rigidity, while the glass window will let the wireless charging through. The backs of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will be made of glass, so there’s no need for the window design. Previously, all iPhones featured glass backs, which you can see in teardown videos.
