- Another batch of iPhone 17 rumors has appeared
- IPhone 17 Pro Max model is tip to get a camera upgrade
- It seems that the SIM card lot stays in some markets
There are many iPhone 17 rumors and leaks to keep up at the moment, and the latest to catch our attention has apparently revealed some more details about the most expensive models arriving next month: iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
First up, Tipster Majin BU (via Gsmarena) has added a few photos that allegedly show SIM card castle for the iPhone 17 Pro. While iPhones have only gone ESIM in the United States, this is not the case in international markets, and it seems that it will not be the case with the 2025 hand sets.
Next, we have pictures that are alleged to show the internal of the iPhone 17 Pro Max from the well -known delicious YEUX1122 (via WCCFTECH). We can see the same metal -covered battery design used in last year’s iPhone 16 Pro, which improves thermal control, and the larger camera module that has previously been rumored.
Also note two different battery form designs, which are presumably for iPhones with and without physical SIM card slots. It is a sign of the accommodation that Apple has to make for its phones in different markets around the world.
Camera upgrades
The most exciting leak of the latest batch may come from another experienced tipster, Setsuna Digital (via Notebookcheck), which suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro Max comes with the most powerful telephoto camera we’ve seen yet.
It is not clear whether it means the most powerful telephoto camera in the iPhone series or in smartphones in general, but it is a promising potential upgrade no matter what. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is equipped with a triple lens 48MP+48MP+12MP camera on the back, with 5x optical zoom permission from the telecommunications lens.
We do not know how much the optical zoom or megapixel count can be upgraded this year, but there are already 8X optical zoom this year, which is part of the reason for redesigning the back of the case we expect. Apple may also reveal a pro-level camera app along with the new phones.
We shouldn’t have too long to wait to see how accurate or otherwise these leaks are: If Apple sticks to its usual schedule, the iPhone 17 series will be announced in September, with Tuesday 9 September the probable day and date.
