Apple Leaks domain is currently prone to controversial iPhone 17 Pro Design Refresh, which may shake some warm debate with its large -scale camera hump. A lot of nonsense also focuses on Svelte iPhone 17 Air. Nevertheless, it seems that some other internal upgrades are worth getting excited.
According to analyst Jeff Pu, Apple will equip all four iPhone 17 series models with an upgraded 24-megapixel front camera. So far, Apple is stuck on its mainline iPhones with a 12-megapixel selfie snapper. In addition, the company has never deployed a 24-megapixel camera sensor, which limits 12-megapixels and 48-megapixel units in the last few years.
Research notes by PU, viewed by macromors and 9to5MAC, do not go into details about the specifications or features of the new 24-megapixel front snapper on the iPhone 17 series. However, we can make an educated estimate, when apple switched to the 12-megapixel with 48-megapixel rear cameras.
A 24-megapixel sensor will be the most default for pixel-binning to distribute pictures and videos at a lower resolution compared to the original Pixel Count. Pixel-binning essentially combines light data collected by adjacent pixels, known as super-pixels in colloquial language.
The total sum of these efforts is images that are more wide and with more realistic color rendering, especially in low-light scenarios. Depending on how the pixel is added, the final image is usually a low-resolution shot, but more pleasing to see.
For example, the 48-megapixel main camera of the iPhone 16 Pro makes a 4-in-1 pixel binning to produce 12-megapixel paintings, but you can still stick full-race 48-megapixel shots. There is also an intermediary option to achieve both world’s best with 24-megapixel click.
With the 24-megapixel selfie camera photo, the iPhone 17 buyers can expect better selfie and better-quality video calls. In addition, since there are more pixels to collect light data, Apple can take advantage of more advanced camera features.

Low-light selfie, in particular, will attract a large benefit from a large sensor. Also, when cropping and zooming, the loss in detail will not be as clear as it is on the small camera sensor. Additionally, the 24-megapixel sensor can also pave the way for a fine background blot effect.
In addition to a better front camera, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to jump from a 12-megapixel zoom camera to a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor. Apple is also rumored to increase RAM capacity to carry up to 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro model.
