The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro is set to introduce notable enhancements to its camera capabilities, according to the latest rumors circulating in the tech community. One of the most anticipated changes is the addition of a new telephoto unit, which could significantly elevate users’ photography experiences.
Recent reports suggest that the front-facing camera will sport a new six-element lens, a step up from the previous five-element plastic lens design. Meanwhile, the main camera is anticipated to maintain the same sensor size as the iPhone 16 Pro but may utilize a hybrid glass-plastic lens, akin to that of the telephoto lens. This shift towards glass-plastic lenses is expected to enhance optical performance, potentially outclassing competitors in the smartphone market.
Furthermore, the iPhone 17 Pro series may embrace a Pixel-like horizontal camera island design. There's also speculation regarding a transition from aluminum to titanium materials, with the possibility of a unique back design that incorporates both glass and aluminum. Additionally, the lineup could see the introduction of an iPhone 17 Air or Slim model, replacing the retired Plus variant, which followed the trend of phasing out the mini model recently.
