The forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max is anticipated to boast a significant enhancement in its Telephoto camera capabilities. This new model is rumored to include one of the best Telephoto cameras available on any smartphone, with an upgraded 48-megapixel lens expected for both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models. However, some sources suggest that this advanced camera might be exclusive to the Pro Max version. The enhanced Telephoto camera is likely to offer up to 8× optical zoom, facilitated by a moving lens that allows for multiple focal lengths. This innovation would enable users to switch seamlessly between 5× and 8× optical zoom without relying on sensor cropping. The iPhone 16 Pro models currently feature a 12-megapixel Telephoto lens with a fixed focal length and a 5× optical zoom. The introduction of a moving lens in the iPhone 17 series could result in a larger camera bump due to the additional components required. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in the coming weeks.
