Apple iPhone 17 Pro Leak Suggests 8x Optical Zoom, Vapor Cooling, and Bigger Battery
Apple iPhone 17 Pro leak reveals 8x optical zoom, vapor cooling, bigger battery, and 12GB RAM just days ahead of launch.
Leaked carrier document hints at iPhone 17 Pro featuring 8x zoom, vapor cooling system, and major performance upgrades.
Key details of the upcoming iPhone 17 series have been leaked by a South Korean carrier, just days before Apple's official launch event. Particularly in the Pro models, the leak suggests significant improvements to the camera, sophisticated cooling systems, and batteries.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max 8x Optical Zoom
The primary feature of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is the addition of an 8x optical telephoto lens. Compared to the iPhone 16 Pro's 5x zoom, this represents a substantial improvement. According to rumours, both Pro models will have three 48MP rear cameras that can record 8K video. This is the first time Apple has provided both Pro models with the same top-tier telephoto hardware.
Performance Enhancement & Vapour Cooling
According to the leak, Apple plans to include a vapour chamber cooling system in the Pro models, a feature frequently found in high-end Android flagships. This update is anticipated to help the A19 Pro chip maintain optimal performance during taxing tasks like gaming and ProRes video recording, especially when paired with a new aluminium unibody design.
