Today's XRP news: Apple's iPhone 17 camera design is said to resemble the Ripple logo.
On September 10, Apple released the new iPhone 17 series in Cupertino, which was supposed to be a stage for technology highlights such as chip upgrades, thinner body, and AI headphones, but unexpectedly became the focus of the Crypto Assets community. Supporters of Ripple (XRP) discovered that the camera module design of the new iPhone 17 closely resembles the Ripple logo, sparking heated discussions and interesting associations within the community.
Camera module collides with Ripple logo
The camera array of the iPhone 17 features three black lenses arranged in a triangular formation, complemented by a striking Bitcoin orange body, which immediately reminds the XRP community of Ripple's iconic logo.
On social platform X (formerly Twitter), many users placed a comparison image of the iPhone 17 alongside the Ripple logo, joking about whether Apple is "subtly paying homage" to the crypto world.
iPhone price denominated in XRP
Interestingly, XRP fans also calculated the amount of XRP needed to purchase a new iPhone based on the token price:
2024: XRP price is about $0.50, the base model iPhone requires about 2,000 XRP, and the Pro Max requires over 2,700 XRP.
2025: XRP rises to $3, the base version of iPhone 17 only requires 333 XRP, Pro requires 400 XRP, Pro Max 466 XRP.
What will happen if XRP rises to $5?
If XRP rises to 5 dollars, the entry-level iPhone will only require 200 XRP, and the Pro Max will also be below 280 XRP.
This means that if XRP continues to rise, Apple's most expensive flagship phone may just be a "pocket money level" expense for holders.
Conclusion
The "similar" design of the iPhone 17 and the Ripple logo has inadvertently brought the tech and encryption circles together, also allowing the XRP community to find new topics in price conversions. Although this is just a fun coincidence, as the price of XRP rises, there may be more real-world products that seem "within reach" under crypto pricing in the future.
