iPhone 17 Pro will have outstanding camera upgrades

According to source Majin Bu, iPhone 17 Pro will have a new Telephoto lens with a 48MP sensor, higher than the 12MP number on the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max duo.

While this information has been revealed by many other sources, Bu went further by stating that the new lens will offer 3.5x optical zoom (85mm equivalent) instead of the current 5x zoom (120mm equivalent).

This focal length is often better suited for portraits and everyday photography, as it allows iPhone users to frame the shot without having to move too far away from the subject.

The biggest change, however, is said to come from the new 48MP sensor, as the higher resolution will allow for digital cropping to simulate a longer focal length, with less loss of quality than conventional digital zoom.

This is similar to what Apple did with the main Fusion camera on the iPhone 16 models, where the 48MP sensor allows for a 2x digital crop — marketed as “Telephoto” — and still produces 12MP images with virtually no loss in quality.

Majin Bu points out that one of the practical benefits of a 3.5x telephoto lens is the added flexibility it offers, especially in portrait photography. The 3.5x lens makes it easier to compose portraits at a more comfortable distance, especially when shooting indoors or in tight spaces.

If the leak is accurate, this change suggests that Apple is increasingly relying on high-resolution sensors and computational processing to overcome some of the limitations of traditional optics.

The iPhone 17 Pro could offer flexible zoom options and make portrait photography easier without sacrificing image quality.

Since the iPhone 16 Pro already has a 48MP Fusion and Ultra Wide camera, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo will likely become the first iPhone models to have a triple rear camera cluster with a resolution of 48MP.
