What's new in iPhone 17 Pro?

Expected to launch in September, the iPhone 17 Pro could feature a new design, hardware, and powerful camera upgrades.

Apple logo has a new position . According to leaker Majin Bu, the Apple logo position on the iPhone 17 Pro may be moved lower, meaning the MagSafe magnetic charging system will also change. This information appeared after a series of rumors about the new camera cluster of the iPhone 17 Pro, which is rectangular in shape across the width of the back instead of the current square in the left corner. According to the famous leaker, some accessory companies have produced based on the new Apple logo position. Photo: MacRumors .

Faster wireless charging . Based on the filing with the NCC certification agency (Taiwan), the iPhone 17 Pro can support the Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard via the MagSafe magnet system, with a maximum capacity of 50W. The company also registered a number of MagSafe charging docks that support Qi 2.2 (photo). For comparison, the highest charging capacity of Qi 2 is 15W, while the iPhone 16 supports a maximum of 30W when using MagSafe. In addition to charging capacity, Qi 2.2 also improves the ability to align the position of the magnet, backward compatible with old charging docks. Photo: 91mobiles.com .

Aluminum frame . According to supply chain analyst Jeff Pu from GF Securities, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will use aluminum frames. For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro feature titanium frames, while the iPhone 14 Pro and earlier use stainless steel. Apple's move to aluminum frames may be environmentally friendly, as aluminum typically has a lower carbon footprint than titanium, while the company aims to be carbon neutral across all of its products and supply chain by 2030.

New camera cluster . According to rumors, the rear camera cluster of the iPhone 17 Pro will be larger. The lenses are likely to still be arranged in a triangle, while the LED flash, microphone and LiDAR sensor are moved to the right. Writing on Bloomberg , analyst Mark Gurman said the back material of the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to combine glass and aluminum, with the upper half made of aluminum for the camera cluster and the lower half made of glass to support wireless charging.

New color . Also according to leaker Majin Bu, a source from the supply chain said that some iPhone 17 Pro prototypes are blue (Sky Blue). According to the description, this color is even more beautiful than Sierra Blue on the iPhone 13 Pro, with a brighter and more subtle tone. For comparison, the Sky Blue color of the MacBook Air M4 is not too dark, it can change depending on the lighting conditions. Photo: MacRumors .

Larger battery capacity . A source from leaker Instant Digital (China) said that the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Pro Max could reach 5,000 mAh, about 324 mAh higher than its predecessor. Previously, leaker Ice Universe said that the thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Max would increase from 8.25 mm to 8.725 mm, possibly for a larger battery. Photo: Asherdipps .

New processor chip . The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be equipped with the A19 Pro processor chip, manufactured on TSMC's latest 3nm 3rd generation (N3P) process. According to MacRumors , the N3P process increases the density of transistors on the chip compared to the 2nd generation (N3E) of the A18 chip. This means that the performance and energy efficiency of the A19 can be improved compared to its predecessor. Photo: Apple .

Self-developed Wi-Fi 7 chip . According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the entire iPhone 17 series will be equipped with Apple's self-developed Wi-Fi 7 chip. Currently, the iPhone 16 uses a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip provided by Broadcom, but the specifications are limited. Meanwhile, Apple's chip will be equipped with the latest specifications. In theory, Wi-Fi 7 supports 2.4/5/6 GHz bands simultaneously with a maximum speed of over 40 Gbps, 4 times faster than Wi-Fi 6E. Photo: MacRumors .

24 MP front camera . Analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong investment bank said that the entire iPhone 17 series will be equipped with a 24 MP front camera, 6-layer plastic lens. For comparison, the front camera of the iPhone 16 uses a 12 MP sensor. With a resolution of 24 MP, the device can take high-definition photos, keeping better quality when cropped. Photo: MacRumors .

48 MP telephoto camera . Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the telephoto camera on the iPhone 17 Pro Max will use a 48 MP 1/2.6-inch sensor, an improvement over the 12 MP 1/3.1-inch of the iPhone 16 Pro. If the rumor is correct, this will be the first iPhone model to use a 48 MP sensor for all three rear cameras. Photo: 9to5Mac .

New video recording mode . Earlier in April, rumor expert Jon Prosser from Front Page Tech channel said that iPhone 17 Pro will support a new video recording mode, allowing simultaneous recording of the front and rear cameras. Currently, some third-party applications have supported this mode, including Galaxy S21 and later, which are integrated into the default application. The new mode can support many different uses, especially content creators. Photo: 9to5Mac .

12 GB RAM . Based on rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will be equipped with 12 GB RAM, higher than the 8 GB on the iPhone 16 Pro. Currently, Apple Intelligence requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM to operate. Therefore, this improvement can help Apple Intelligence operate more effectively, enhancing multitasking capabilities on the iPhone 17 Pro. In addition, Kuo said the iPhone 17 Pro Max may use a vapor chamber cooling system combined with a graphite sheet. Photo: MacRumors .
