iPhone 17 Pro: Unverified Leaks Hint at Radical Camera Upgrades Weeks Before Launch
With the highly anticipated iPhone 17 Pro announcement approximately six weeks away, new unverified rumors have surfaced, detailing potentially significant camera enhancements for Apple’s upcoming flagship device.
According to an anonymous tip received by MacRumors, the information stems from an alleged commercial production for the new iPhone. While completely unverified and speculative, the tip claims three major camera-related upgrades. Firstly, the telephoto lens is rumored to jump from 5x to an impressive 8x optical zoom, with dynamic focal point capabilities. Secondly, the iPhone 17 Pro could introduce a dedicated ‘pro camera app’ for advanced photo and video functionalities. Most surprisingly, the leak suggests the inclusion of an additional Camera Control button, possibly located along the iPhone’s top edge.
Industry observers note the hardware claims, particularly the new button, seem less probable given Apple’s tight secrecy on physical components. However, the prospect of a professional camera application aligns with recent software developments, including steps in iOS 26 to streamline the default Camera app, potentially paving the way for a more advanced, dedicated pro version.
