Part 3/6:
This fresh design overhaul sets the stage for enhanced camera capabilities that will complement the new look.
Enhanced Camera Features
Main Telephoto Lens Upgrade
The standout improvement in the camera system will likely be seen in the main telephoto lens. Currently, the iPhone 16 series sports a 12-megapixel telephoto sensor supporting up to 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom. The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to boost this sensor to 48 megapixels, creating significantly sharper images and enhancing low-light performance.
With this upgrade, we may also anticipate an improved digital zoom capability, potentially reaching up to 50x, which would put the iPhone in closer competition with rivals like Samsung, who have already ventured into 100x digital zoom territory.
