According to information shared by a tipster on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging platform, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max might feature two camera upgrades. The company’s successors to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max aren’t expected until later this year, but details about the handsets have leaked in recent months. This year, Apple will likely release a redesigned rear camera island for the iPhone 17 Pro models, including a horizontal camera setup.

According to a Weibo post by Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max with a 48-megapixel telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, an upgrade from the 12-megapixel camera seen on the iPhone 16 Pro models.

The iPhone 17 Pro models will also come with a 24-megapixel selfie camera, according to the tipster. It’s worth noting that both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have a 12-megapixel TrueDepth camera.

This is not the first time information regarding Apple’s upgraded iPhone 17 Pro camera specifications have surfaced online. In January 2024, TF Securities International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo anticipated that the iPhone 17 models would include a new 24-megapixel selfie camera.

A report from November stated that Apple plans to keep its Tetraprism telephoto lens, which allows for 5x optical magnification, restricted to its Pro models. Previous reports suggested that the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air would be the first non-flagship models with a telephoto camera.

Previous reports have also hinted at additional changes for the iPhone 17 Pro versions, such as under-display Face ID technology, which might result in a decreased camera cutout. The iPhone 17 models could be equipped with Apple’s A19 chip and 8GB of RAM, while the Pro models could have an A19 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM.
