iPhone 17 Pro launch: 3 major upgrades to expect

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro will reportedly get several hardware upgrades over their predecessors. From a new design to an upgraded camera, Apple has kept several new announcements for the pro models, but here are the 3 major features which are expected to be the key highlights for iPhone 17 Pro:

Heat/ thermal management: As anticipated earlier, Apple is expected to reveal a vapour chamber cooling system for the iPhone 17 Pro models, offering enhanced thermal efficiency over predecessors. The Apple event logo also hints towards a heat dissipation system, which we expect to be the key highlight for the event today.

New design: Apple is also rumoured to bring several design changes to iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. Firstly, we could see a comeback of the aluminium frame in place of titanium. In addition, the smartphone is also tipped for an edge-to-edge camera module at the top half, housing a triple camera setup.

New telephoto lens/ Pro camera features: This year, iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to feature a 48MP triple camera setup that includes a new 48MP telephoto lens, an upgrade from the iPhone 16 Pro’s 12MP lens. With upgraded resolution, there are rumours surrounding a higher optical zoom of up to 8x or even more. Apart from a hardware upgrade, Apple is also rumoured to bring software-based upgrades with pro camera features, dual video recording, and much more.
