iPhone 17 Pro may feature a 48MP telephoto camera and 24MP front camera.
The new A19 Pro chip and 12GB RAM aim to support AI and multitasking.
Apple could introduce faster MagSafe charging and a Sky Blue color variant.
Apple is all set to introduce the iPhone 17 series, possibly in September this year. While the official announcement is pending, the leaks have suggested a brand new lineup- iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max (maybe Ultra). In the latest update, a few details about the iPhone 17 Pro have surfaced online hinting at some big changes. This means you can expect a different design, better display, camera, and performance.
SurveyFrom better performance to a better camera, here are the top 10 features that may be offered with the upcoming Apple iPhone 17 Pro.
- Design
Apple is expected to replace the titanium frame seen in the iPhone 15 Pro with a lighter aluminum frame. The back design may also shift to a hybrid build of aluminum and glass.
- New Camera Layout and Higher Resolution:
The rear camera bump may take on a rectangular shape with rounded corners, retaining the triangular lens arrangement. A new 48MP telephoto camera up from 12MP in the iPhone 16 Pro is also tipped.
- Dual Video and 8K Recording:
Users may be able to record using both the front and rear cameras at once. Additionally, 8K video recording could finally arrive with all-new 48MP sensors on the back.
- Larger Battery in Pro Max Model:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to feature a slightly thicker frame to accommodate a larger battery, aimed at extending usage time.

Borrowing from the MacBook Air, Apple may launch the iPhone 17 Pro series in a sky-blue finish. While this is not confirmed, if it happens, you may get another option to choose from.
- Wi-Fi 7 and Custom Apple Chip:
The entire iPhone 17 lineup could come equipped with a Wi-Fi 7 chip developed in-house by Apple, moving away from previous Broadcom-sourced components.
- A19 Pro Chip with 3nm Process:
Under the hood, the phones are expected to use the A19 Pro chip, manufactured using TSMC’s advanced 3nm node, delivering better efficiency and moderate performance gains.
- 12GB RAM and Improved Cooling:
Both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to get 12GB of RAM to support the upcoming Apple Intelligence features. Apple may also introduce a vapor chamber cooling system to help with thermal regulation during intensive tasks.
It is worth noting that these details are not confirmed and we may have to wait till September to get confirmed details about the device.
