Since the iPhone 12 in 2020, Apple has barely touched the design of its phones. Safe for the Dynamic Island and the two new buttons on the sides, iPhones look more or less the same. Apple’s critics see that as a sign of creative impotence and a proof that the company’s doomed to an imminent collapse. On the other hand, many people love that design and consider it the best in the iPhone’s history, so why fix something that’s not broken?


Apparently, Apple is planning some visual changes that seem drastic at first, but are actually a continuation of its current design ideas. Do you think that’s enough, or you’d prefer Apple to make a bigger redesign of the iPhone? What do you want to see changed the most on iPhones? What design changes could make you consider switching to an iPhone? Share your toughts with us!

They need to be creative and change the design. It's been the same design for the last 8 years with the exception of the cameras when they added a 3rd one a few years ago. You're apple, figure it out

Switching to a long rectangular camera island to house the 3 camera lenses is hardly a redesign.

Yes iPhone 17 Pro Max need Penta Lens like Galaxy S25 Ultra. So that the user can get the luxury of more zoom option. Ever since iPhone 11, Apple has been using triple lens in its premium smartphones. Its time for a change. Adding solid state buttons instead of physical touch will be an additional benefit.

I don’t feel it needed a redesign, but to copy another company isn’t a good look, I would go as far as to say it’s worse than keeping the same


apple is all about image and the iPhone design is that image


but I’m glad they have moved away from trying to get rid of all buttons, having a dedicated camera button is a good improvement

I think iPhones need new power hardware such as the 1-inch camera or 200 MP telescope sensor

There is only so much you can do with a phone's design.
