iPhone 17 Pro Leak Hints at 8x Optical Zoom, Vapor Cooling System, and Bigger Battery
iPhone 17 Pro leak reveals 8x optical zoom, vapor chamber cooling, bigger 5,000mAh battery, and triple 48MP cameras. Check all leaked specs and pricing.
Leaked specs suggest the iPhone 17 Pro will feature 8x optical zoom, triple 48MP cameras, vapor cooling, and a larger 5,000mAh battery.
Important information regarding the upcoming iPhone 17 series has been leaked from a South Korean carrier, just days before Apple's official announcement. If true, the leaks indicate significant improvements in battery capacity, cooling efficiency, and camera technology, particularly for the Pro models.
Pro Models: 8x Optical Zoom
An 8x optical telephoto lens, which is a significant improvement over the 5x zoom available on the iPhone 16 Pro, is the most noticeable upgrade for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Additionally, both models will have three 48MP rear cameras that support 8K video recording. This is the first time Apple has given both Pro models the same advanced telephoto capabilities.
Advanced Vapour Chamber Cooling
A vapour chamber cooling system, which is common in high-end Android smartphones, might also be advantageous for the Pro models. This system, when paired with a new aluminium unibody chassis, should prolong the time that the potent A19 Pro chip operates at its best during taxing activities like gaming and ProRes video recording.
Upgrades to the Memory, Battery, and Display
- RAM & Chipset: The A19 Pro processor will power the 12GB RAM found in the Pro models, while the regular A19 chip will power the 8GB RAM found in the standard iPhone 17 and the new iPhone 17 Air.
- Battery: With the iPhone 17 Pro Max's 5,000mAh battery (up from 4,676mAh), notable improvements are anticipated.
- Displays: Sizes remain similar—6.3-inch for the Pro, 6.9-inch for the Pro Max, and a new 6.6-inch display for the iPhone 17 Air.
- Front Camera: All models are tipped to include 24MP front-facing cameras, offering sharper selfies and video calls.
Pricing and Availability
According to the leaked document, pricing may remain competitive, starting at $799 for the iPhone 17 and going up to $1,250 for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, analysts warn that such carrier leaks often mix speculation with fact, so full confirmation will only come at Apple’s official launch event.
