“Jeff Pu” reveals the iPhone 17 Pro Max phone.

A new periscope telephoto sensor

New details revealed by analyst “Jeff Pu” confirm that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will get a periscope telephoto sensor with 48 megapixels resolution. This sensor will allow high optical zoom and professional photography.

The evolution of camera resolution in iPhone phones

Apple introduced the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023 with a main sensor with 48 megapixels resolution, and intends to equip the iPhone 16 Pro in 2024 with a camera with ultra-wide viewing angles with 48 megapixels resolution. Thus, the iPhone 17 Pro Max in 2025 will be the first phone from Apple to include three cameras with 48 megapixels resolution.

Compatibility of new phones with mixed reality glasses

Apple is working to improve the features of the iPhone phones to suit the mixed reality glasses Vision Pro that it plans to launch in the future. Apple has already started supporting the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max phones with the feature of recording spatial video, which enables the user to record three-dimensional video content that can be viewed later with mixed reality glasses. The periscope telephoto camera in the iPhone 17 Pro Max will also enhance the quality and efficiency of video recording to provide a better experience for Vision Pro glasses users.
