And a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera
There are fewer and fewer third-party components left in the iPhone. Apple's own Wi-Fi chip may appear in iPhone 17 Pro smartphones
The iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphone was the first among Apple devices to receive a «telephoto» with tetraprism — analogue of periscope modules in other smartphones. In the iPhone 16 line, both Pro models will already have this. And in the iPhone 17 line, the oldest model will again stand out thanks to a new sensor for such a camera.
Now the iPhone 15 Pro Max «telephoto» relies on a 12-megapixel sensor, and the results are very decent. Next year, as expected, this camera will not change, but the iPhone 17 Pro Max will receive a «telephoto» already based on a 48-megapixel sensor. So say analysts at Haitong International Securities.
Recall that we previously heard that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max should receive 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle cameras. And it turns out that all cameras on the main unit of the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a resolution of 48 megapixels.
At the same time, it is worth recalling today’s data that in the foreseeable future a tetraprism «telephoto» The iPhone will supposedly offer 10x optical zoom, which likely means adding another camera for closer-up photography. If all this comes together for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, this will be a significant reason for many buyers to choose this particular device.
