The camera has been the hallmark of Apple's iPhones, and the iPhone 17 Pro could see some big and exciting upgrades this time around.
- Front camera: All iPhone 17 models, and especially the Pro models, are expected to get a 24MP TrueDepth front-facing camera. This is twice the resolution of the iPhone 16's 12MP front camera, which should greatly improve selfies and video calls.
- Telephoto lens: The iPhone 17 Pro could feature a new 48MP telephoto lens. This is a significant upgrade, as the iPhone 16 Pro had a 12MP telephoto lens. It may offer 3.5x optical zoom, which will be better for portrait and zoom photography.
- All three 48MP lenses: According to rumours, the iPhone 17 Pro will be the first iPhone to have all three rear lenses (wide, ultra-wide and telephoto) of 48-megapixel.
- Multi-cam video recording: The Pro model may come with a new Multi-cam video recording feature, allowing users to record video from the front and rear cameras simultaneously.
- Design changes: Changes are also speculated to be made to the camera module design. Some reports suggest that it may come in a wide, horizontal "camera bar" design, which may span the width of the entire phone.

Apple always chooses new and premium colours for its Pro models. The iPhone 17 Pro may feature some exciting new colour options:
- Black: Reminiscent of classic black titanium with a matte finish.
- Dark Blue: An extremely dark blue colour, inspired by blue titanium and looks almost black in certain lights.
- Silver: A shiny silver colour, which is similar to white titanium and offers a clean, timeless aesthetic.
- Orange: The most interesting and bold addition. It could be a vibrant but balanced orange shade inspired by the Apple Watch Ultra's action buttons, perfect for those who want something a little different.
Apple is also rumoured to go back to aluminium frames for the iPhone 17 Pro models, allowing for a bolder anodised finish.
5. iPhone 17 Specifications: A new level of power and performance
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to feature several significant upgrades in terms of performance, display, and battery:
- Processor (Chipset): The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be powered by Apple's next-generation A19 Pro chipset, which will be based on TSMC's advanced 3nm process. It will bring better speed and efficiency than the previous A18 Pro chip, especially for on-device AI (Apple Intelligence) capabilities.
- RAM: The Pro model is expected to get 12GB of RAM, which is 50% more than the 8GB of the iPhone 16 Pro model. This will ensure better performance for multitasking, gaming, and AI-powered features.
- Display: The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to have a 6.3-inch OLED display, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could have a larger 6.9-inch display. Both will feature 120Hz ProMotion technology and possibly a new scratch-resistant anti-reflective display (an upgrade to Ceramic Shield). The dynamic island size could also be reduced slightly.
- Cooling system: The Pro model is rumored to use vapor chamber cooling technology to control temperatures during intensive tasks and gaming.
- Battery and charging: The iPhone 17 Pro Max could have Apple's largest iPhone battery ever, with a capacity estimated to reach 5,000mAh. All models will come with a USB Type-C charging port, and will support fast charging (possibly up to 44W) and wireless charging. Reverse wireless charging (7.5W) is also likely, allowing the iPhone to charge other Apple devices wirelessly.
- Operating System: The iPhone 17 Pro will come straight out of iOS 26, bringing the latest innovations to Apple's software ecosystem.
- Connectivity: All models will come with support for Wi-Fi 7 and Apple's in-house C1 modem, which will offer improved connectivity and efficiency.
