iPhone 17 Pro may get 3 major camera upgrades, new leak suggests

A new rumor suggests Apple is planning some major camera upgrades for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro, and while nothing is confirmed, the details are already sparking buzz.

According to a tip received by MacRumors, the next iPhone Pro model might come with three exciting camera-related features. The information reportedly comes from someone involved in the making of a commercial for the iPhone 17 Pro. The source is anonymous and unverified, but it offers a peek into what Apple might be cooking up.

The first big change could be a jump in zoom capability. The iPhone 17 Pro might offer 8x optical zoom, up from the 5x seen on current models. That would mean sharper close-up photos and better performance when capturing distant subjects.

Next, the report mentions a possible Pro camera app that gives users more control over photos and videos — ideal for content creators or anyone who wants more than just point-and-shoot simplicity.

Finally, Apple may be adding a dedicated Camera Control button to the top of the device, making it easier to snap photos or start recording without relying solely on the touchscreen.

Of course, none of this is confirmed, and Apple hasn’t said a word about these features yet. But with the official announcement likely just weeks away, it won’t be long before we know what’s real and what’s just speculation. For now, it’s one more reason to keep an eye on the iPhone 17 Pro.
