German media iPhone-Ticker recently broke the news that internal documents from a German telecommunications company showed:Apple's new generation iPhone 17 series is likely to be officially released on September 9, US time. The new phone is expected to be available for pre-order on September 12 and officially go on sale on September 19.
News shows that the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max cameras are expected to be significantly upgraded, using a new horizontal camera module, a telephoto lens with 8x optical zoom, a higher-pixel front lens, top camera control buttons, and built-in apps with professional-level photo and video functions.
First of all, the iPhone 17 Pro series will use a horizontally extending camera module. Although the three-lens arrangement still maintains the triangle since the iPhone 11 Pro, the microphone, LiDAR optical radar and flash have been moved to the right side to help accommodate the larger image sensor.
Secondly,This year’s iPhone 17 Pro series will be equipped with a new 48-megapixel telephoto lens, providing higher imaging quality, which also means that its three lenses will be fully upgraded to 48-megapixels.. The new lens can also use optical cropping to take 12-megapixel photos.The optical zoom factor has also been increased from 5x to 8x, providing stronger long-range shooting capabilities.
In addition, unlike the iPhone 16 Pro, which is equipped with a physical "camera control" button on the lower right side of the fuselage, the iPhone 17 Pro may add a second camera control button on the top of the fuselage to quickly start the camera function. However, considering that the camera control button was only launched last year, the possibility of this rumor coming true is low.
In addition to the upgraded rear lens specifications, the front lens of the iPhone 17 Pro will also be upgraded from 12 million pixels to 24 million pixels, making selfies clearer.
In addition, Apple is rumored to be building a new professional-grade camera app for iPhone 17 Pro users, which can be used for taking photos and videos. Its functions are comparable to other professional camera apps such as Halide, Kino, Filmic Pro, etc.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to launch four models this time, including iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (replacing Plus), which focuses on ultra-thin body, and iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
In terms of chips,Pro and Pro Max will use the latest A19 Pro processor, equipped with TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process (N3P), providing stronger performance and power consumption. The standard iPhone 17 and 17 Air may use the A19 chip with slightly lower performance, but also use N3P process technology.
