All Four iPhone 17 Models Rumored to Feature Upgraded 24-Megapixel Front Camera and More
All four iPhone 17 models launching later this year will feature an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera, according to analyst Jeff Pu.
In a research note today with investment firm GF Securities, Pu shared a chart in which he reiterated that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will each be equipped with a 24-megapixel front camera. By comparison, all four iPhone 16 models are equipped with a 12-megapixel front camera.
Another analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, also claimed that at least one iPhone 17 model would be equipped with a 24-megapixel front camera, so this upgrade has been rumored by multiple sources. Kuo said it will "significantly improve the image quality."
With a higher 24-megapixel resolution, photos can maintain their quality even when cropped to a greater degree, providing more flexibility in post-processing.
Pu reiterated other iPhone 17 rumors, including an increased 12GB of RAM and a 48-megapixel Telephoto camera for the Pro and Pro Max models. He also expects the A19 and A19 Pro chips to use TSMC's newer third-generation 3nm process, known as N3P.
All four iPhone 17 models are expected to launch in September.
