Less and less and although now almost all eyes go to the WWDC or World Developer Conference that will be held on June 9, with iOS 19 as the protagonist, no one forgets the iPhone 17 Pro. The device, which promises to be a revolution, will arrive this September with incredible news.
Along these lines, rumors do not stop growing and, according to the latest leaks, Apple could be preparing a true revolution in the video section.
The iPhone 17 would record in 8k
The new iPhone 17 Pro, which we remember, is the most ranking and advanced terminal of Apple, would be able to record video in 8K resolution. This is a characteristic that so far had been seen in professional cameras and on some high -end Android devices, so it would mark a milestone for the Californian company.
If this information is confirmed, the iPhone 17 Pro and its Pro Max version could make an incomparable leap in terms of image quality when recording video, something especially relevant to the creators of content and professionals of audiovisual production. At the moment, The iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 16 just allow you to record in 4Ka resolution that has been the standard in the mobile industry in recent years. However, Apple has been experiencing with 8K in its own productions, such as Bonus documentary that is being filmed for the Apple Vision Pro.
The filter, known as Fixed Focus Digital, left a brief but overwhelming track in Weibo: “With 8K in your hands, the iPhone 17 series should generate more expectation”. Although he did not give more details about cameras technology, this statement is enough to unleash the expectation among Apple's followers. In addition, the message is not limited only to pro models, which leaves open the possibility that the entire iPhone 17 range incorporates this improvement.
The use of 8K on an iPhone raises several technical issues. First, the need for more advanced sensors capable of capturing a much larger amount of data without compromising device performance. In addition, an 8K video occupies significantly more storage space, so Apple could introduce new video compression methods or increase options for Internal storage base on its devices. It would also be key to see if Apple allows 8K recording at 30 fps or if you will go one step further with 60 fps recording to offer greater fluidity.
What will the iPhone 17 pro be
Beyond the resolution, another great unknown is whether the iPhone 17 Pro will include individual 8K sensors or if you will use two sensors for 3D recordingoptimizing the experience of Apple Vision Pro. Compatibility with space videos in high resolution would be a logical movement for Apple, which seeks to boost its virtual and augmented reality ecosystem.
It is not the first time that there is talk of the arrival of 8K to the iPhone. In 2024 it was already leaked that Apple had been testing this resolution in the iPhone 16 Pro, although it did not finally arrive. However, with the growing commitment to ultra high definition content and competition with manufacturers such as Samsung, which already have 8K recording in some of their models, Apple is likely to finally take the step with the iPhone 17 Pro.
In addition to video improvement, rumors also point to a renewed design for iPhone 17, with a hybrid aluminum and glass structure that will give it a premium appearance and sensation in your hand. Apple could be looking for a balance between resistance and lightness, improving the ergonomics of the device without compromising its aesthetics.
