Apple is preparing to launch its iPhone 17 series in the global market. This year’s lineup is said to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, also known as the iPhone 17 Ultra. Among the entire lineup, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has been making headlines for potential design and hardware updates. It may also include new features, such as a revamped Siri.
While the exact details about the iPhone 17 Pro Max remain under wraps, here are the 5 changes that we are expecting.
Finally, Apple fans may see some design shifts. While it is not confirmed, the changes are tipped to be minor. The iPhone 17 Pro Max may get a rectangular camera island with a similar triangular camera setup. The flash and LiDAR are said to be placed on the right side. Apple may also move back to the aluminum frame along with the glass back, moving away from the Titanium frame.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is said to have an upgraded camera setup. Now, the fans may see a triple 48MP camera including a new 48MP telephoto sensor, replacing the 12MP found on iPhone 16 Pro Max. On the front, the device may offer an upgraded 24MP selfie camera.
