Apple, sitting comfortably on a cash reserve of $133 billion, certainly has the resources to engage in extensive legal battles. Even so, Jon Prosser, a known tech leaker currently embroiled in a legal tussle with Apple over iOS 26 leaks, remains undeterred. He’s boldly released a new video spilling the beans on the iPhone 17 Pro’s design and features.
The centerpiece of his latest revelation is the potential introduction of an upgraded tetraprism periscope zoom lens for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models. The spotlight is on the eye-catching camera bar that could dominate the rear of these devices. This isn’t just a design statement—it’s reportedly to accommodate larger camera sensors and advanced hardware, enhancing the iPhone’s photography prowess.
Last year’s iPhone 16 Pro made waves by incorporating a tetraprism periscope zoom lens, a feature previously exclusive to the Pro Max. Apple seems poised to up the ante further with the iPhone 17 series. Prosser suggests that the camera bar could house either an enhanced periscope zoom lens or a larger sensor, promising significant improvements in imaging capabilities.
Both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature a 48MP telephoto camera alongside 48MP primary sensors, raising the stakes for smartphone photography and videography. Prosser’s audacious move to release this information amidst ongoing legal proceedings with Apple highlights his commitment to delivering the scoop on the tech giant’s plans.
