Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max today with a new design and an advanced camera system.
Apple said that the equipment is powered by the new A19 Pro chipset and is a large battery. In addition, it was noted that the ESIM-Caval model will have a slightly larger battery than the Pro model with physical sims.
The new Pro phone has an aluminum unibody instead of the titanium used in the previous year’s iPhone.
The company said that it has designed a new vapor chamber thermal system with the new Unibody.
The company is upgrading the telephoto camera to a 48-megapixel sensor from a 12-megapixel sensor. With sensor change, users will be able to obtain 8X optical zoom. It is one of the highest optical zoom capabilities on the market, in which Vivo X200 offers 8.7x optical zoom with its periscope kit.
Apple 40X is offering digital zoom. It is less than 100x introduced by Google or Samsung, but it is not clear whether Apple is doing digital regeneration using AI like those companies.
All this is kept by a new rectangular camera bar covering the entire width behind the iPhone.
