Interesting information about iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max has appeared in the network, which confirms Mark Gurman's words that Apple's flagship smartphones will get such powerful cameras that bloggers and video content creators will be able to replace professional equipment with them.

Here's What We Know

Authoritative portal MacRumors, citing an anonymous informant who, as he claims, has seen a promo reel of the iPhone 17 Pro, reported that the top models of 2025 will receive three important camera upgrades:

  • A powerful telephoto lens with 8x optical zoom (vs. 5x on the iPhone 16 Pro);
  • a new Camera app with advanced settings;
  • an additional camera control button to complement Camera Control.

MacRumors notes that it can not independently verify the information of its source, so urges to treat it with a little scepticism, but very soon we will know all the details of the new Apple lineup, as the presentation of the iPhone 17 is expected on 9-10 September.
