- The iPhone 17 Pro Max was initially rumored to exclusively feature a 48MP telephoto lens.
- A recent leak indicates Apple may also bring the upgraded lens to the smaller Pro variant.
- The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could also get improved 24MP front cameras.
With every flagship phone release, Apple typically introduces fresh camera enhancements to encourage users to upgrade. This year will likely be no different, as the iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to equip sharper front and rear cameras. If the leaks materialize, both Pro models will finally retire the 12MP lenses.
Initial reports suggested that Apple would bump the telephoto lens’ resolution from 12MP to 48MP solely on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo is now claiming that the company will actually offer this upgrade on both iPhone 17 Pro variants. This should contribute to crisper output when zooming in on and shooting faraway subjects.
