The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to introduce a 48-megapixel telephoto camera, shifting from the existing 12-megapixel lens. Although the new configuration will offer a 3.5x optical zoom, it aims to enhance digital zoom performance, potentially exceeding 5x through advanced cropping techniques. This change is expected to benefit portrait photography by allowing users to frame shots more easily without stepping back. Additional improvements may include 8K video recording and a 24MP front camera, with an official announcement anticipated in September. As always, these details remain speculative until confirmed by Apple.
