Apple fans have been waiting in anticipation for the new iPhone reveal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

However, on Tuesday, when the tech giant unveiled the iPhone 17 lineup<\/a>, a collective sigh was heard amongst customers due to their disappointment over the new design.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and the super-thin iPhone Air will reportedly be equipped with more powerful chips, better battery life and new cameras with four times the resolution of the previous model.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not enough to woo customers. <\/p>\n

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will each feature a full-width camera island, which will annoyingly take up the entire top third of the phone.<\/p>\n

The new phones will also no longer have a smooth back panel \u2014 instead, they\u2019ll have a redesigned glass panel, making wireless charging easier.<\/p>\n

When dummy photos<\/a> of the new phones originally leaked to X, customers had a lot to say about the updated look then \u2014 and the confirmation of the new design fired them up even more.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrible design. Terrible, terrible, terrible,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis used to be the s\u2013t apple mocked other phone companies for, and here they are becoming a parody of themselves,\u201d someone noted, referencing how the new model\u2019s camera bar looks eerily similar to that of their competitor, the Google Pixel 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like an ugly Android phone. It\u2019s so not Apple,\u201d one added.<\/p>\n

\u201ciPhone 17 Pro is the ugliest iPhone ever,\u201d a user declared. \u201cSteve Jobs would have fired everyone in his era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from the physical design, fans are also upset with the wacky color options for the new devices.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are available in three colors: silver, deep blue and cosmic orange.<\/p>\n

The orange option was a bold choice, with some calling<\/a> it \u201ca crime against design.\u201d Many online users were also disappointed over the fact that there won\u2019t be a black colored option.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo black iPhone 17 Pro is just insanely dumb,\u201d someone said.<\/p>\n

Pre-orders for the new iPhones begin on September 12 and they\u2019ll officially be on sale September 19.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 17 Pro will start at $1,099 for a 256-gigabyte model, the same as the previous year\u2019s model with the same storage size, but without the option of a smaller-capacity phone at a lower price of $999.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple fans have been waiting in anticipation for the new iPhone reveal.
