It looks like a cool camera function that we actually expected on the iPhone 16 will come to the iPhone 17. You need to know this.
This camera function is much better on the iPhone 17
Prior to the launch of the iPhone 16 it became clear that the device could technically support 8K video recordings. Nevertheless, Apple decided to keep this camera function behind for the iPhone 17. There was probably a good reason for that. In the meantime, a new rumor says that 8k video is possible with the iPhone 17.

Record video with the iPhone 16
All iPhone 16 models support 4K video recordings. For example, on the iPhone 16, 16 Plus and 16th Slow Motion with 60 fps, and on the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max with 120 fps. The latter was the first time that this is possible on an iPhone.
At the time, Apple also tested filming in 8K on the iPhone 16 Pro models. The wide -angle lens and the ultra -wide angle lens would be suitable for that in terms of resolution, but not the zoom lens. That would mean that you cannot switch to the telephoto lens while filming 8K videos. Now this lens gets a higher resolution in the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max and therefore nothing still stops the improved camera function.
The iPhone 17 gets 8k video
The iPhone 16 has a telephoto lens with 12 MP, but the iPhone 17 is said to make a big leap to a telephoto lens with 48 MP. This means that all three cameras would then be able to record 8k video. We therefore expect Apple to put this telephoto lens with higher resolution and the improved camera function in this year’s new Pro models.
WeIBO user Fixed Focus Digitalwho, among other things, managed to correctly predict the color Desert Titanium and the name iPhone 16th in advance, now supports this. This rather awkward machine translation from the Chinese of one of his statements contains the comment: With 8K in your hand you have to look forward to the iPhone 17 series.
