The unveiling of the new iPhone 17 lineup in Cupertino sparked interest not only due to hardware updates but also discussions among crypto enthusiasts.
iPhone 17 Camera Design and Ripple Logo
The most discussed topic became the camera arrangement of the iPhone 17, resembling the Ripple logo. The XRP community noted the triangular setup of the three rear cameras, which strongly echoed their symbol. This parallel was especially noticeable in the newly introduced orange model, where the black lenses contrasted sharply against the bright background. The observation quickly gained popularity on social media.
Comparing iPhone Prices in XRP
The discussions also turned towards comparing the prices of Apple products in XRP tokens. A year ago, XRP traded at around $0.50, and the base iPhone model would have cost nearly 2000 XRP. Today, with XRP valued at $3, the same purchase translates to about 333 XRP for the iPhone 17 and 466 XRP for the Pro Max.
Community Response to Ripple Associations
While Apple has not commented on these associations, the observations from the XRP community have attracted attention. For many in the community, the resemblance was too strong to ignore. This intersection between two well-known names in technology and finance has become an interesting topic for discussion.
While the iPhone 17 itself is a technological novelty, its connection to the cryptocurrency culture highlights the relevance of tokens like XRP in today's market.
