Mumbai: Just days before Apple’s official launch event, a leaked South Korean carrier document has unveiled significant specifications for the much-anticipated iPhone 17 lineup. The most notable enhancement comes from the Pro models, which will feature an 8x optical telephoto lens—a big leap from the current 5x zoom in the iPhone 16 Pro devices. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have identical triple 48MP rear cameras with support for 8K video recording, marking the first time Apple equips its Pro variants with the same advanced telephoto capabilities.
Advanced Cooling for Peak Performance
The leak further reveals that the iPhone 17 Pro models will incorporate vapor chamber cooling technology, similar to what is found in high-end Android smartphones. This upgrade, coupled with a new aluminium unibody chassis design, will enable the A19 Pro chip to maintain peak performance for longer durations during demanding tasks like gaming and ProRes video editing without thermal throttling. Pro models will be equipped with 12GB RAM, while the standard iPhone 17 and the new iPhone 17 Air will come with the A19 chip and 8GB RAM.
Battery, Display, and Camera Improvements
Battery capacities have been upgraded across the series, with the Pro Max model boasting a jump to 5,000mAh from 4,676mAh in the previous generation. Display sizes remain unchanged, with the Pro models retaining 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, and the iPhone 17 Air featuring a 6.6-inch screen. All models will include 24MP front-facing cameras, an important upgrade from current specifications, enhancing selfie and video call quality.
Pricing and Availability
The document suggests competitive pricing will continue, with the iPhone 17 expected to start at $799 and the Pro Max at $1,250. Industry experts, however, caution that carrier leaks sometimes mix confirmed specs with rumors, so final details will only be verified at Apple’s official event.
Conclusion
The leaked South Korean carrier document highlights Apple’s significant strides with the iPhone 17 series—particularly the unprecedented 8x optical zoom for Pro models, enhanced cooling systems maintaining sustained performance, and improved batteries and cameras. These upgrades signify Apple’s efforts to provide a powerful and competitive offering in its upcoming flagship release.
