Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed Apple’s plans for the iPhone 17, hinting at a major upgrade to its front-facing camera. According to the latest report, the iPhone 17 will feature an impressive 24-megapixel front camera, a substantial jump from the current 12-megapixel setup on the iPhone 14 and 15.
According to Kuo’s post, the increased resolution should deliver sharper and more detailed selfies. With 24 megapixels, photos can maintain quality even when cropped, offering more flexibility in editing. It’s a practical enhancement that could make a noticeable difference in everyday photography.
Yujingguang, a Taiwanese company, is reportedly set to provide the new lens system for the iPhone 17, according to Kuo. It is stated to be 100 to 120 per cent more expensive than the current 5P lens system, so this would also mean that the iPhone 17 series could be more expensive.
Under Display Face ID on iPhone 17 Pro
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to bring another change by introducing under-panel Face ID technology. Despite this advancement, the circular cutout for the front-facing camera will likely stick around.
As we anticipate the iPhone 16 and 17’s arrival, it’s clear that Apple is placing a strong emphasis on upgrading the selfie game. The combination of a higher megapixel count and a more sophisticated lens points towards a practical improvement in everyday photography.
