Apple iPhone 17 Pro camera leaks: Tipped to come with these 3 upgrades

Apple iPhone 17 Pro leaks: The iPhone 17 Pro is already generating buzz, especially around its front-facing camera, which may see a major overhaul. According to recent leaks, Apple could introduce a slimmer camera cutout or possibly shift to under-display Face ID, significantly altering the design of the display. This change could mark the end of the Dynamic Island, a defining feature since the iPhone 14 Pro.

The upgrade may also include better selfie camera hardware, targeting enhanced image quality and a more seamless screen experience. With Apple’s constant push for minimalism and functionality, the iPhone 17 Pro might offer a more immersive display and top-tier photography features. Here's everything we know so far about the rumoured iPhone 17 Pro camera design and specs, and what this could mean for Apple fans globally.


Apple is anticipated to hold its annual iPhone announcement event during the week of September 8, 2025, to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, with September 9 or 10 being the most probable dates. Based on previous years, this indicates that the new devices may be available for purchase in stores and online by Friday, September 20.


The tipster indicates the following is on the way:

An 8x Telephoto Zoom Lens

The new telephoto camera would provide variable optical zoom and the capability to transition between focal lengths, a feature more similar to professional camera systems, representing a significant upgrade from the current 5x zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

A New Button for Camera Control

The most astonishing assertion is that Apple could introduce an entirely new physical button on the iPhone 17 Pro's top edge, solely for camera functions. While specifics are not precise, it is reported to complement the current Action Button.

A Dedicated Professional Camera App

This would be unprecedented for iOS. Apple might finally divide its camera experience into two separate apps: one designed for everyday users and another targeting creators and professionals with more advanced manual controls and video options.


A multitude of new features and improvements are expected with the iPhone 17 series. Below are just a handful of the changes we anticipate:

• The Pro and Air versions will offer 12GB RAM, whereas the standard version will continue to have 8GB.
• Battery updates that support wired charging up to 35W and Qi2 wireless charging at 25W.
• The display size of the standard iPhone 17 will increase from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches.
• Displays with 120 Hz ProMotion for every model.
• Launch of an ultra-thin Air version that takes the place of the Plus model.
• Pro models will adopt a half‑glass, half‑aluminum chassis and a redesigned horizontal camera bump.
• The iPhone 17 Air will feature Apple's first in-house 5G modem chip, and all variants will support Wi-Fi 7.
• The lineup features a 24MP front selfie camera, while the Pro models may include three 48MP rear cameras and support for 8K video.

The anticipated launch price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in India is Rs 1,64,990. In contrast, the starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro will be Rs 1,45,000.
