iPhone 17 Pro could get a huge unexpected design change — what we know
That change will be the Apple logo moving lower down the phone, further away from the vertical center. It's a notable event since the last time this happened was with the iPhone X in 2017, which redesigned several elements of the iPhone and moved the logo a little off-center for a better sense of balance.
Given the rumors the iPhone 17 Pro will feature a larger camera block, it seems likely this would be the cause of the moving logo. The new block seemingly spans the whole width of the phone, rather than just the corner where the camera lenses live.
MajinBu only makes one mention of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but between this and a later tweet we'll look at below, it seems that both the Pro and the Pro Max will get the new logo position.
The article doesn't discuss the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Air either, although both of these have unique designs compared to the Pro models, so may not receive this alteration.
MajinBu continues to explain how the logo's new home may have consequences for the iPhone 17 Pro's MagSafe magnet locations. As a result, casemakers, especially ones making transparent cases that highlight the logo specifically, are apparently keeping a close eye on what's happening, holding off on manufacturing to be on the safe side.
We saw possible solutions in a later MajinBu X post, which showed how the ring of aligning magnets could lose a section around the logo.

The original article also suggests that manufacturers are looking into modular designs to ensure that, which ever way things are laid out, users can get the best possible experience.
We can assume that Apple will keep quiet about its new iPhones for 2025 until the usual launch window in early September. But the rumors aren't going to stop in the meantime, so check our iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max hubs for the latest info from the leak-o-sphere.

iOS 26 can freeze your FaceTime video if it detects nudity
The developer beta for iOS 26 has been out for a few weeks, and as always,tech sleuths are uncovering features and details that weren't explained during WWDC . Among the latest discoveries stirring up conversation online is a safety and privacy feature for FaceTime that blurs your feed when it detects you in a state of undress. Should FaceTime detect nudity, it will display a message reading "Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call." Originally discovered by X user @iDeviceHelpus , the feature is off by default and can be enabled in FaceTime settings under "Sensitive Content Warning." The feature reads, "Detect nude photos and videos before they are viewed on your device, and receive guidance to help make a safe choice. Apple does not have access to the photos or videos."It seems the feature is intended for child accounts, though it can currently be enabled in the beta for adults as well. The Apple support page for the company's "Communication Safety" features reads, "Communication Safety uses on-device machine learning to analyze photo and video attachments and determine if a photo or video appears to contain nudity. Because the photos and videos are analyzed on your child's device, Apple doesn't receive an indication that nudity was detected and doesn't get access to the photos or videos as a result." Features in beta come and go, as testing and feedback are partly the point of the beta system, so this may or may not see broader adoption. The public beta for iOS 26 is slated for July.
