iPhone 11 cases suggest Apple logo will be repositioned on new models

Ahead of Apple’s highly anticipated ‘By innovation only’ event at Apple Park on September 10, images of counterfeit iPhone cases suggest Apple will reposition its logo on the back of the new models so that the logo is centered vertically and horizontally.

The images, posted to Slashleaks, show near indistinguishable clones of the official silicone cases Apple is expected to launch alongside the new iPhone models when they are unveiled next month, matching the colors of Apple’s current iPhone cases, with the fake accessories featuring a large square camera housing for the alleged rear triple-lens camera system expected to arrive with the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max/Pro.

The cases use the naming “iPhone 11 Pro” and “iPhone 11 Pro Max”, suggesting Apple will name its iPhone XS predecessor the iPhone 11 Pro, and name its iPhone XS Max predecessor the iPhone 11 Pro Max, as previously suggested. Additionally, the images from Slashleaks show a pink “iPhone 11” case which will likely be the rumored new iPhone XR replacement.

Here’s everything we expect from Apple’s next-generation iPhone line.

Apple is rumored to add bilateral wireless charging/power share features to the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro/Max. It could be possible that the centered Apple logo could act as a indicator for users to rest their AirPods (for example) to allow them to wirelessly charge the earbuds using the iPhone’s battery.

Update: Additionally, reliable leaker Ben Geskin has shared an image of how the iPhone models could look if the logo is repositioned, backing up the theory that the logo could be a pointer for a user to rest their wireless charging AirPods case.
