Overview

• The iPhone 17 Pro will introduce a 48MP telephoto lens, replacing the 12MP sensor on the iPhone 16 Pro models.
• Optical zoom will decrease from 5x to 3.5x, but the higher-resolution sensor enables up to 7x digital zoom with less quality loss.
• The new telephoto lens is optimized for portrait photography, allowing better framing at closer distances, particularly in tighter spaces.
• All three rear cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro will feature 48MP sensors for the first time, alongside a 24MP selfie camera and 8K video recording capability.
• The device will feature a redesigned aluminum frame and a larger camera module, with its official unveiling anticipated in September 2025.
