UMVA has learned that Apple's much-anticipated iPhone 17 Pro redesign has sparked a mixed reaction among fans, with its clear case receiving particularly harsh criticism.
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max clear cases featured a jarring design element - a large white rectangle covering nearly two-thirds of the back, overwhelming the phone's vibrant color. For instance, the striking Cosmic Orange hue was largely obscured by this awkward design choice.
In stark contrast, previous clear cases and the standard iPhone 17 clear case boasted a sleek, minimalist design, with a simple semi-circle for the MagSafe puck and a line to guide the MagSafe magnets.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that images circulating on Chinese social media appear to show Apple's official clear cases for the upcoming iPhone 18 line, and the changes are a welcome relief.
The new cases seem to revert to a more sensible design, with the Pro and Pro Max models featuring a semi-circle and line covering the MagSafe magnets, while the rest of the case remains crystal clear.
It's a puzzling design decision that has been rectified, and fans can breathe a sigh of relief - the iPhone 18's clear cases may have returned to a more aesthetically pleasing normal.
