iPhone 17 Pro telephoto lens rumored jump from 5x to 8x optical zoom
According to an anonymous tipster who reached out to MacRumors, Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro models will introduce enhanced camera features, including an advanced telephoto lens offering up to 8x optical zoom, a significant upgrade from the 5× optical zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro models.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature a 48MP Fusion camera, a 48MP Ultra Wide camera, and the 5x Telephoto camera, available on both models.
According to an anonymous tipster who reached out to MacRumors, Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro models will introduce enhanced camera features, including an advanced telephoto lens offering up to 8x optical zoom, a significant upgrade from the 5× optical zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro models.
The tipster claimed to be familiar with an iPhone 17 Pro commercial that is allegedly being produced by a film company that has publicly listed Apple as one of its clients…
The tipster revealed three alleged iPhone 17 Pro features that have not been rumored previously:
• An upgraded Telephoto lens with up to 8× optical zoom, compared to up to 5× optical zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro models. The lens can apparently move, allowing for continuous optical zoom at various focal lengths.
• An all-new pro camera app from Apple for both photos and videos. This app would compete with the likes of Halide, Kino, and Filmic Pro. It is unclear if the app would be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro models.
• An additional Camera Control button on the top edge of the devices, for quickly accessing the camera and related settings. This would complement the Camera Control button on the bottom-right edge of all iPhone 16 models.
