It might also bring improvements for better visibility in outdoor light.
Processor & Performance: This phone will be powered by Apple’s next-generation chipset, the A19 Pro. It will be built on TSMC’s advanced third-generation 3nm process, delivering better performance and power efficiency compared to previous models. Pro models are expected to get 12GB RAM, which will better support multitasking and future AI features like Apple Intelligence. It might also have a vapor chamber cooling system to manage heat.
Camera System: The camera will be a major highlight of the iPhone 17 Pro Max:
