The new iPhone 17 Models will be released this week
As the Apple iPhone 17 launch approaches, divers and underwater content creators are already asking the big question: Will the iPhone 17 fit into the Divevolk SeaTouch 4 Max or SeaTouch 4 Max Plus housings? Divevolk has addressed this question in a recent blog post, and we’ve summarized and analyzed the key takeaways for you below.
Whether you’re planning to upgrade your phone or take your underwater photography game to the next level, here’s what you need to know about Divevolk iPhone 17 compatibility.
What Divevolk Has Confirmed So Far
Divevolk recently published an update on their blog, discussing the anticipated iPhone 17 compatibility with the SeaTouch 4 Max and 4 Max Plus. While the iPhone 17 series has yet to be officially released, Divevolk has taken a proactive approach by analyzing leaks and expected dimensions to give their users a head start.
Here’s the current situation:
SeaTouch 4 Max Compatibility
Divevolk mentions that the SeaTouch 4 Max is expected to support the upcoming iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models — but with a major caveat: final confirmation will depend on the actual dimensions and camera module size once the iPhone 17 lineup is officially released.
Key Considerations:
- The SeaTouch 4 Max already supports over 100 phone models.
- The internal dimensions of the case have room for minor variations.
- Most iPhones with screen sizes up to 6.7 inches have previously fit without issues.
- Divevolk has had consistent success with previous iPhone generations including the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series.
👉 TL/DR: If the iPhone 17 doesn’t introduce drastic physical changes (like a significantly larger camera bump or thicker chassis), it will likely fit the SeaTouch 4 Max.
SeaTouch 4 Max Plus Compatibility
The SeaTouch 4 Max Plus, designed for even larger or differently-shaped phones (including those with rugged cases), is also expected to be compatible with the iPhone 17 series.
Divevolk specifically mentions that the Plus version provides more flexibility and should support even the Pro Max models of the iPhone 17 lineup.
What We Know About the iPhone 17 Design (So Far)
While we wait for Apple’s official announcement, here are the expected specs based on industry leaks:
- iPhone 17: ~6.1-inch display
- iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3-inch display (slightly larger than iPhone 15 Pro)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.9-inch display (may be taller but thinner)
- Possible thinner chassis but larger camera module
These minor changes could impact fit — particularly the camera placement, which Divevolk’s capacitive touch system must account for. But again, Divevolk has a track record of adapting quickly and often issues updated internal inserts or fitting guides if needed.
Will You Need a New Adapter?
Possibly — but only if the iPhone 17 introduces major structural changes.
Divevolk frequently provides adapters to accommodate newer models that slightly differ in shape. Once the iPhone 17 is released and dimensions are officially available, the Divevolk team will:
- Run fit tests
- Release updated compatibility charts
- Offer any necessary accessories
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re planning to use your SeaTouch case on a dive trip soon after upgrading to the iPhone 17, hold off until compatibility is confirmed, or pack a backup phone that’s already supported.
What Should You Do Right Now?
Here’s what we recommend:
Keep Your SeaTouch Housing
Don’t rush to buy a new case just yet. Based on Divevolk’s info, your current SeaTouch 4 Max or Plus is very likely to support the iPhone 17 series.
