48MP triple lens system that comes to pro models

The upcoming iPhone 17 lineup by Apple will receive important camera improvements, according to the industry leaf and dummy models that appeared months before the expected publication of autumn 2025. All models benefit from improved front cameras, while the Pro models are intended for a complete camera redesign and considerable performance improvements.

All iPhone 17 models that get an upgrade of the front camera

Each iPhone 17 variant allegedly offers an improved 24-megapixel front camera, which doubles the resolution of the current 12 megapixel sensors. This essential improvement should enable users to cause selfies with minimal loss of quality and at the same time achieve superior performance in low light and increased detail recording.

iPhone 17 Pro camera: Triple 48MP system and new design

According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro- Max models report the most important camera overhaul. For the first time, these devices are included three 48 megapixel lenses:

• A 48-megapixel fusion camera
• A 48 megapixel-ultra-wide lens (first introduced in iPhone 16 Pro)
• A new 48 megapixel-tetraeprism telephoto lens

The high-resolution telephoto lens represents the outstanding camera function of 2025 and enables users to consider the harvest of tele images without impairing details.

In a significant departure from previous designs, the iPhone 17 Pro models reports the square camera array for a horizontal, rectangular cameramous, which extends over the rear of the device. While the three lenses maintain their triangular configuration, the flash, the microphone and the Lidar sensor are repositioned until the right end of this rectangular housing.

Video functions that receive great attention,

According to sources, Apple plans to highlight the functions of the video recordings in its marketing of 2025. The iPhone 17 Pro models may support 8K video recordings and updated by the current 4K standard. In addition, a new double video recording function can enable the simultaneous recording of both front and rear cameras -a function that is particularly valuable for creators of social media content.

Another potential improvement is a mechanical variable aperture system that would mark the first departure of Apple from fixed openings. This addition would give the photographer a higher control over the depth of the field and light management.

iPhone 17 air: Limit ultra-thin constructions

The rumored iPhone 17 air, which is expected to be only 5.5 mm thick, will allegedly have a single 48 megapixel fusion camera due to space restrictions. Although this model has only one lens, the horizontal camera beam design also takes over, although in a more compact shape with the lens on the left and the lightning and the microphone is positioned on the right.

In the simple-lens configuration, the iPhone 17 air will probably not support spatial video or spatial photos, unless Apple develops new technologies to capture dimensional content with a single camera.

The standard -iPhone 17 camera appears similar to the current model

The basic iPhone 17 model seems to receive the slightest changes in connection with camera. Apart from the improved front camera, the leaks indicate that a design is retained similar to the iPhone 16 with two vertically arranged lenses on the left side of the device. In contrast to its Pro siblings, the standard model is not expected that it will take over the new horizontal camera.

Current information indicates that the iPhone 17 continues to contain a 48 megapixel fusion lens with a 12-megapixel-ultra-wide camera, although the sensor improvements are still possible.

While these details come from typical reliable sources such as case manufacturers and leaks of the supply chain, official specifications are only confirmed until Apple's formal announcement is expected in September 2025.
