Apple will once again thoroughly adjust the camera hardware for the iPhone 17. But the company does this in a different way than you might think. iPhoned catch up.
Better camera iPhone 17
Not an iPhone year goes by without the phone’s camera being significantly improved. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro of 2022 had a camera with 48 megapixels for the first time, which also celebrated its introduction on the ‘regular’ iPhone 15 a year later. Last year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max even got the new tetraprism lens for an even greater zoom.
But how does Apple want to improve the camera of the iPhone 17, which will not be released until 2025? Apple expert and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has some ideas about this. According to him, it is not the rear camera, but the front camera that is getting a major update.
Front camera with 24 megapixels
Such as Kuo – who is known for his good sources of suppliers
from Apple – reports, the iPhone 17 (he does not mention a Pro model, but he often only talks about the iPhone 15, 16 and 17) will have a better front camera with 24 megapixels. The current front camera (with Face ID) has a resolution of 12 megapixels.
In addition to more pixels, the front camera of the iPhone 17 should also have a higher-quality 6P lens. Apple also uses this at the back and simply provides sharper and better photos.
Face ID under the display
By the way, this is not the only good news about the front camera of the iPhone 17. Because the iPhone of 2025 will reportedly also be the first model where facial recognition Face ID is placed under the display. This makes it possible to make the Dynamic Island smaller or possibly even disappear altogether.
