The iPhone 17 Pro remains months away from its official unveiling, but speculation continues to grow around Apple’s next-generation device. While no official details have surfaced, industry leaks hint at key changes, including a redesigned camera module, a new chipset, and potential material upgrades.
Since the iPhone 11’s debut, Apple has retained a familiar design across its Pro models. However, recent leaks suggest a major shift with the iPhone 17 Pro. According to industry tipster Jon Prosser, the device may feature a large camera island extending across the phone’s width. This module is expected to have rounded corners, with three cameras positioned on the left side, while an LED flash, LiDAR scanner, and microphone will be housed on the right.
Reports also indicate a shift from the titanium frame seen in previous models, with Apple potentially opting for an aluminum frame. The back panel could feature a hybrid “part-aluminum, part-glass” construction, offering a distinct dual-tone appearance.
Speculation suggests significant camera improvements across the iPhone 17 lineup. All four models in the series might include a new 24MP front-facing camera, while the iPhone 17 Pro could receive a 48MP telephoto sensor for enhanced zoom capabilities. These upgrades align with Apple’s continued focus on advanced imaging technology.
Performance improvements are anticipated with the introduction of Apple’s A19 Pro chipset, which is expected to be built on TSMC’s 3nm process. This advancement is likely to bring increased processing power and improved energy efficiency. Additionally, reports indicate the possibility of 12GB RAM in the Pro models, marking a notable increase from the current 8GB configuration. Another key area of speculation is whether Apple will introduce its in-house modem, replacing Qualcomm’s, though no concrete details have emerged.
While official announcements remain months away, leaks suggest the iPhone 17 Pro could bring notable design and hardware refinements.
