What Special Feature Will The iPhone 17’s Camera Have Over The iPhone 16? Apple’s iPhone 17 is still a few months away from being released. But recently released dummy models and various leaked information have given us a basis for guessing about possible changes to the phone’s camera.
According to MacRumors, a platform that provides information about Apple, Apple is preparing to add new camera features to some models. In addition, it seems that it is preparing to change the design of the camera bump (raised part). The reliability of the dummy models that have been released may be in doubt, but these dummy models have proven to be an accurate reflection of Apple’s design changes in the past years.
These dummy model information is often discovered by mobile cover (case) manufacturers. Such companies also release dummy model information because there is a huge financial advantage in being the first to bring a cover to the market for a new device.
Here are the possible changes to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 camera, based on a report by MacRumors.
All iPhone 16 models have a 12-megapixel selfie camera. All iPhone 17 models to be released this year are expected to have a 24-megapixel selfie camera. This is a significant improvement that the company will bring to the iPhone 17 series. This will allow users to crop the image more without losing quality when taking selfies. Also, better performance in low light and more detail can be seen in photos.
iPhone 17 Pro
For the first time, various leaks have revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have all three 48-megapixel lenses. According to the leaked details, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will have a 48-megapixel main lens, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a new 48-megapixel tetraprism telephoto lens. The new ultra-wide lens was introduced in the iPhone 16 Pro. The same upgraded telephoto lens will be the main camera feature of the iPhone 17 Pro series in 2025.
The 48-megapixel telephoto lens will allow users to crop the image further to capture distant objects closer without losing detail.
Apple plans to focus on video marketing for its cameras this year. The iPhone 17 Pro model will be able to support 8K video recording, increasing the 4K video recording capability of the iPhone 16 Pro model. The new model is also likely to feature dual video recording. This will allow users to record video from the front and rear cameras at the same time.
Along with all these improvements in the camera, there will also be a major change in the camera design. Instead of the square camera bump used so far, Apple will make it rectangular. It is said that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have a horizontal camera bar on the back. The cameras will be placed in it. The lenses will remain in the same triangular pattern as before. However, the flash, microphone, and Lidar sensor will be moved to the other side of the rectangular bar to the right. It is not clear why Apple is making this design change.
iPhone 17 Air
The iPhone 17 Air is said to be the thinnest phone the company will bring. Since the phone is thin, its internal space is limited. Therefore, it will have only one 48-megapixel fusion camera. Due to lack of sufficient space, it will not have an ultrawide or telephoto lens. According to various leaked information and rumours, this phone will be 5.5 mm thick.
iPhone 17 (Standard)
Apart from the 24-megapixel front-facing camera upgrade, not much else has been heard about the iPhone 17 (Standard). The rear camera of the iPhone 17 will look similar to the iPhone 16. It will have two lenses arranged vertically on the left side.
The standard iPhone 17 does not appear to have the horizontal camera bar that Apple is planning to introduce for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air models. There is also no information about the sensor upgrade. However, this is not the only feature that will be mentioned. The iPhone 17 is expected to have a 48-megapixel main (fusion) camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. These phones will be released in mid-September.
