Apple has just revealed its cards to fight for the Best 2025 mobile and early 2026: the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. In the traditional ‘Keynote‘From the Apple Parkthe company has presented these new models that arrive next to the iPhone 17 and the very rumored iPhone 17 Air.
Goodbye Crystal and Titanium, Hi Unibody of Aluminum. And that is good
Ahead, the new iPhone 17 pro are almost identical to the previous ones. On the sides, more of the same: they have not touched the Chamber tactile control introduced into all past generation models, nor have the position of the button on the left side which allows you to customize it with different actions.
The body is an aluminum unibody
In the rear and inside it is where the changes are seen. Do not catch us by surprise because housing companies They already burst the announcement A few days ago confirming the design of the new iPhone 17 Pro. Apart from the Triplet of Chambers that we have been seeing from the iPhone 11 Prowe have a Lidar sensor displaced to the opposite side and, together with the flash, a more elongated module.
It is as if they had taken the cameras module of the previous ones and had stretched it to the other side. And it is not a simple issue of aesthetics: the materials have changed responding to a need: The one to dissipate the heat better.
The great part of the chassis is now a single piece of aluminum. This includes the sides, the internal structure and the camera module. Goodbye to the crystal, goodbye to the titanium of the latest generations. Far from being a step back, aluminum is a perfect material to dissipate heat better. It is more efficient than glass and was a historical need for iPhone.
48 megapixel cameras. The three
And one more year, Apple has dedicated a good part of the presentation to talk about the photographic section of the new iPhone. Before moving on to specific characteristics that allow the processing and new ways, we go with the cold numbers because there are news.
We finally have four cameras that have the same resolution. The main camera of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the great angle and – as a novelty – the telephoto, now have 48 megapixels.
The megapixel war, fortunately, has long since was left behind for many modelsbut if something has taught us the Computer photography It is that, with more megapixels, imposing photos can be obtained even using the digital zoom.
In fact, the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro Max Telefoto changes compared to previous generations. Of the 5x optics, we pass to the 4x optics, but with a novelty: thanks to those 48 megapixels in the Telefoto sensor, on the screen we see a new 8x icon.
Apple calls it as “Zoom 8x with quality equivalent to that of an optical telephoto”, something similar to what has happened with the 2x, and what allows us to have a huge range of options between 0.5x and that 8x hybrid.
