The iPhone 16th has been released, so it’s time to look ahead to the next iPhone. Which functions come to the iPhone 17 Pro? This is what the rumors say.
iPhone 17 Pro
Apple released the first iPhone of 2025, because the iPhone 16th appeared in February. Later this year four more iPhones are expected, although the line-up looks different than last year. It is expected that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will appear. The iPhone 17 Pro gets important improvements under the hood, but that is not nearly everything.
One adjustment is clearly visible, because the camera island becomes much larger with the iPhone 17 Pro. With the iPhone 16 Pro this is still a square in the corner of the iPhone, but with the next iPhone the camera island takes up the full width of the back. This rectangular camera island is made of aluminum. The rest of the back is manufactured from glass. With the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple says goodbye to the Titanium housing, which we still see at the current Pro models.
Cameras are getting much better
The cameras of the iPhone 17 Pro also receive a large upgrade. According to rumors, the device gets a 24-megapixel front camera. That is a big improvement, because with the current iPhones the front camera only has 12 megapixels. The improved camera is especially useful if you regularly feed video calls and use FaceTime a lot, because the lens delivers higher image quality in poor lighting conditions.
At the rear we also see a big improvement, because the iPhone 17 Pro is said to get a 48-megapixel televelens. It is the first time that an iPhone has three 48-megapixel cameras. The iPhone 17 Pro may get a new mechanism to adjust the exposure of photos and videos. With this mechanism, slightly physically stopped or let go, so that the iPhone takes beautiful photos and videos in all lighting conditions.
More about the iPhone 17 Pro
The housing and the cameras are properly adjusted with the iPhone 17 Pro, but those are not the only expectations. The device runs on the new A19 Pro chip, which is accompanied by no less than 12 GB of memory. With the iPhone 16 Pro that is 8 GB, just like with the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus. The iPhone 17 Pro therefore gets more memory, so that more functions (from Apple Intelligence) can run smoothly at the same time.
Other improvements and functions with the iPhone 17 Pro are WiFi 7, a larger battery and a stronger display. The phone’s screen has a new generation of the Ceramic Shield, which is more resistant to scratches and falls. Apple will announce the iPhone 17 series in September, then we know for sure which functions will actually come to the next iPhones. Do you not want to miss any announcement?
