Which design version of iPhone is best?

Focussing on the design of the iPhone 17, we would love Apple to alter its camera lens layout on the next model. Especially in the Pro models from the previous model, the camera lens size is huge and feels like it takes up a quarter of the back of the phone. We would love the camera lens size to be reduced slightly so there is more space. Also, perhaps removing a couple of the lenses’ and having a 3-in-1 lens where 1 lens performs all 3 zooms. It would also be great to see some new colour options that vary between dark and light shades, unlike the 16 model which is primarily light shades.
