In September Apple presents the iPhone 17 series-these are the 7 new functions that come to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
7 New functions for the iPhone 17 Pro (Max)
Apple is coming this fall with the ultra -thin iPhone 17 Air, which can be a huge hit. But what about the pro models? Here are seven new functions that you can expect on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in September.
1. Selfie camera with 24 megapixel
The iphone cameras get better every year, but most of the time it is mainly about the cameras on the back. This time Apple will upgrade the front camera of the full iPhone 17-line from a 12MP sensor to a brand new 24MP sensor. That must make major improvements.
2. A19 Pro chip
Apple will re-upgrade its new iPhones with a new and improved chip from the A-series. This time it is the A19 Pro chip. This chip is exclusively for the 17 Pro and Pro Max. Although the new 17 Air model is expected to win many PRO users for themselves, that device will get the standard A19 chip-just like the ‘regular’ iPhone 17.
3. 12 GB of memory
Because of the arrival of Apple Intelligence Has the working memory in iPhones become increasingly important. Apple is planning to give the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models 12 GB memory – that is most ever in an iPhone.
This is a nice improvement of 50 percent compared to the 8 GB of the 16 Pro. It is not yet clear whether the iPhone 17 and 17 Air also get 12 GB, but the PRO models will certainly get it.
4. WiFi and Bluetooth modem
Apple has been working for years on the development of two own modems: one for 5G and one for WiFi. It is expected that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will use the new combined WiFi and Bluetooth modem. Only the 17 Air gets the new C1 modem, while the PRO models will use the Qualcomm chip for another year.
5. Bigger, rectangular camera island
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are said to get a larger, rectangular camera island. Probably this makes a new advantage possible. It seems that the top of the pro models gets an aluminum design over the entire width. The lower half retains its standard glass back for wireless charging.
6. Improved design with aluminum
The new Pro models get a newly designed frame made from aluminum in the place of titanium. Apple has introduced Titanium for the PRO models of the iPhone in 2023, so the switch to aluminum is striking. A possible advantage of the change is that more fun color variations are possible, with Sky Blue as one of the new options.
7. Improved cooling
Finally, the entire line-up is expected to get improved cooling systems, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max excluding a so-called vapor room (Vapor Chamber) Plus graphite plate. This undoubtedly has to do with Apple Intelligence for the future of the iPhone. AI not only requires more powerful chips and extra memory, but also better cooling to maintain the maximum performance.
