The upgrade includes an 8x optical zoom capability, which is a notable enhancement over the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 5x optical zoom. The rumored feature is attributed to the inclusion of a moving lens element that allows seamless switching between 5x and 8x optical zoom without resorting to digital cropping. This mechanical zoom system preserves image quality across the entire range, avoiding noise and loss of sharpness often associated with digital zoom.
The redesign of the camera lens could result in a larger camera bump for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, as seen in recent design renders. While a thicker device might be attributed to an increased battery, it’s more likely that Apple is making this change due to the redesigned camera system.
It’s important to note that while Instant Digital has generally proven reliable, past predictions haven’t always been accurate. Therefore, these claims should be taken with a grain of salt.
Other industry rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro lineup might also feature 48MP telephoto sensors along with advanced features such as dual-video recording and potential 8K video support.
