Apple’s unveiling of the iPhone 17 lineup in Cupertino brought the expected range of hardware and software updates, from performance improvements to new accessories.
However, among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, the main topic of conversation was not Apple’s new chip or slimmer build but the design of the camera system.
Members of the XRP community were quick to point out that the triangular arrangement of the iPhone 17’s three rear cameras resembles the Ripple logo.
The similarity appeared most striking on the newly introduced Bitcoin-orange model, where the black lenses sit in sharp contrast against the bright background. The observation spread rapidly across social media, with many users commenting on how closely the design echoed the well-known logo.

Comparing iPhone Prices in XRP
The coincidence of the logo-like camera cluster was not the only aspect linking Apple’s release with XRP. Community discussions also turned toward comparing the price of Apple’s flagship product in terms of XRP tokens. The perspective offers a striking illustration of how much the digital asset has appreciated in a short time.
One year ago, XRP was trading at approximately $0.50. At that price, the base iPhone model would have cost nearly 2,000 XRP, while the Pro Max version required more than 2,700 XRP.
The situation is very different today. With XRP valued at around $3, the same purchases translate to far fewer tokens: about 333 XRP for the base iPhone 17, 400 XRP for the Pro, and roughly 466 XRP for the Pro Max.
What Higher Prices Could Mean
The comparison has led to speculation among XRP supporters about how future price increases could affect the purchasing power of the token.
If XRP were to reach $5, the base iPhone 17 would be available for 200 tokens, with the Pro model at around 240 and the Pro Max falling under 280. A rise to $10 per token would cut those numbers even further, placing the Pro Max at less than 140 XRP.
This way of measuring consumer products in XRP highlights how digital asset valuations can dramatically alter the everyday costs perspective. While Apple’s pricing in dollars remains consistent with previous years, XRP’s performance has shifted the equation for its holders.

Community response
Although Apple has not commented on the comparisons being made between its device design and the Ripple logo, the observation has given XRP supporters another talking point. For many in the community, the resemblance was too strong to ignore. When coupled with calculations of iPhone prices in XRP terms, it added another layer to discussions about the token’s growth and relevance.
The release of the iPhone 17 may not have been intended to intersect with cryptocurrency culture. But among XRP enthusiasts, the overlap has become a topic of attention, linking two of the most widely recognized names in technology and finance.
