By ForGeeks
Apple unveiled the new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max flagships at the «Awe Dropping» event. But the reaction from users online was unexpected, with many left unhappy with the look of the smartphones.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max flagships were unveiled at the event.
New design and «plateau» for cameras
The major change to the iPhone 17 Pro —s redesigned camera unit. Instead of the usual offset square, there’s now a rectangular «plateau» in the center of the body, which houses the entire camera system.
User Reaction
On the internet, the design has sparked a lot of discussion. The new «plateau» and orange body color received the most criticism. Many users bluntly called the look of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max «ugly».
For a company whose devices have been considered a design benchmark for decades, this is a rare case of negative reaction to an appearance update.
The perception may change
Journalists note that over time, users may get used to the new shapes and colors. Especially since for most consumers, design is a secondary issue — the smartphone is most often in a case or in a pocket anyway.
Nevertheless, at launch, the iPhone 17 Pro was one of the few Apple models whose appearance drew more criticism than praise.
