iPhone 17 Pro Max leaked renders show what Apple's big logo shift may look like
iPhone 17 Pro Max Logo: What The Alleged Renders Reveal
The renders shared by Majin Bu show the alleged iPhone 17 Pro models with a transparent-style MagSafe case. They do look quite odd because the Apple logo, instead of sitting in the centre of the MagSafe magnet ring, which looks symmetrical and in proportion (like it is now with the iPhone 16 Pro), is now slid lower and sits awkwardly with the magnets.
However, this should be taken with a pinch of salt, and of course, if this does end up happening, it will only affect the transparent-style cases and any silicone or third-party cases that block the view of the phone's back.
Has Apple Changed The Position Of The Logo Before?
Yes, the Apple logo used to be situated higher up, in the top half of the phone. This was prior to the iPhone 11 series, but with the iPhone 11, Apple moved the logo down to the centre of the back. So, yes, the company has switched the logo position previously, and now that Apple is expected to debut a fresher design with the iPhone 17 series, this would not be out of the ordinary, as per reports.
Having said that, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max may reportedly feature aluminium instead of titanium, along with a slightly different look and feel on the back, with the camera housing extended towards the right side of the phone, and thus is why Apple might also be looking to reposition the logo.

iPhone 17 to Feature Exclusive Dynamic Island UI Redesign with iOS 26
After WWDC 2025, excitement is growing for the launch of the iPhone 17 series. These new iPhones are expected to have big improvements in design, speed, and user experience. Apple has already shown iOS 26, but people are waiting to try the final version when it is released. Meanwhile, there are many leaks about the iPhone 17. One leak says the Dynamic Island feature may get a new design. A well-known Weibo tipster called Digital Chat Station (DCS) says Apple might change the Dynamic Island only for the iPhone 17 series. The changes will likely be part of iOS 26 and will come from software updates, not from changing the phone's hardware. Before, some leaks said the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max might have a smaller Dynamic Island and new screen technology. But now, reports say these hardware updates will wait until the iPhone 18 series in 2026. Apple first introduced the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro, and it has mostly stayed the same since then. If the new design is real, the iPhone 17 will be the first big update to this feature. It might make the Dynamic Island more useful and easier to use. Apple has not officially said anything yet. We will have to wait for the September 2025 Apple event to find out for sure. If the leaks are true, the iPhone 17 could bring important changes to how people use the Dynamic Island, leading to new ways to interact with the phone.

What to know about a potential deal to keep TikTok running in U.S.
Less than a month after extending a deadline to ban TikTok for the third time, President Donald Trump told reporters late Friday night that, 'We pretty much have a deal,' on TikTok — but he did not offer details. The details and timing of a potential deal are not clear. TikTok did not immediately respond to messages for comment on Monday. Emarketer analyst Jeremy Goldman said while TikTok is 'reportedly planning' a U.S. version of its app to comply with legal restrictions, the platform — if it launches without the original TikTok algorithm — 'risks losing the very personalization that drives user engagement.' In other words, TikTok just isn't TikTok without its algorithm. 'And getting millions to download a new app is no small feat, to say the least,' Goldman added. Here's what to know about where TikTok stands in the U.S. following Trump's comments. Though he has no clear legal basis to do so, Trump has continued to extend the deadline for TikTok to avoid a ban in the U.S. This gives his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership. It is not clear how many times Trump can — or will — keep extending the ban as the government continues to try to negotiate a deal for TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance. While there is no clear legal basis for the extensions, so far there have been no legal challenges against the administration. Trump has amassed more than 15 million followers on TikTok since he joined last year, and he has credited the trendsetting platform with helping him gain traction among young voters. He said in January that he has a 'warm spot for TikTok.' For now, TikTok continues to function for its 170 million users in the U.S. Tech giants Apple, Google and Oracle were persuaded to continue to offer and support the app, on the promise that Trump's Justice Department would not use the law to seek potentially steep fines against them. Americans are even more closely divided on what to do about TikTok than they were two years ago. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that about one-third of Americans said they supported a TikTok ban, down from 50% in March 2023. Roughly one-third said they would oppose a ban, and a similar percentage said they weren't sure. Among those who said they supported banning the social media platform, about 8 in 10 cited concerns over users' data security being at risk as a major factor in their decision, according to the report. Trump said Friday that on Monday or Tuesday, the U.S. would take the proposal to Chinese leader Xi Jinping or one of his representatives. The president said he thinks they 'probably' need China to approve the deal but he wasn't sure they needed to. When asked whether he was confident China would approve the deal, Trump said, 'I'm not confident but I think so.' He said that for the U.S., 'we make a lot of money if the deal goes through." The Chinese embassy in Washington said in a statement that it has no new information to share and 'China has reiterated its principled position on multiple occasions and will handle relevant issues in accordance with Chinese laws and regulations." Although it's unclear if ByteDance plans to sell TikTok, several potential bidders have come forward in the past few months. Aides for Vice President JD Vance, who was tapped to oversee a potential deal, have reached out to some parties, such as the artificial intelligence startup Perplexity AI, to get additional details about their bids, according to a person familiar with the matter. In January, Perplexity AI presented ByteDance with a merger proposal that would combine Perplexity's business with TikTok's U.S. operation. Perplexity had no comment on Monday. Other potential bidders include a consortium organised by billionaire business executive Frank McCourt, which recently recruited Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian as a strategic adviser. Investors in the consortium say they've offered ByteDance $20 billion in cash for TikTok's U.S. platform. And if successful, they plan to redesign the popular app with blockchain technology they say will provide users with more control over their online data. 'Every day that passes without a qualified divestiture of TikTok puts Americans at greater risk of manipulation and surveillance. We believe the administration will ultimately obey the courts and follow the requirements for a lawful divestiture,' McCourt's internet advocacy organization, Project Liberty, said in a statement. "We look forward to working with members of the administration, policymakers, and our many outstanding partners in The People's Bid to achieve this goal.' Among other possible investors are the software company Oracle and the investment firm Blackstone. Neither company immediately responded to messages seeking comment on Monday.
