It will be a 4x zoom that (thanks to the 48mp sensor) can be cropped to “8x”, just watch.
Same as the current “2x” option.
If all rumored changes does come true, will be very happy. All the rumors were very exciting to read and hopefully the orange colored iPhone makes it. Cannot wait to see what Apple will show on stage today.
Define "so many people"
Most people don't upgrade every year. In the old days... two years was common.
But today people are keeping their phones for 3 or 4 years.
There are 1.5 billion iPhones in use on Earth today.
But Apple only sells around 200 million iPhones every year. Clearly there aren't that many people upgrading every year...
😎
I agree. I’m getting a 17 Pro but the aluminium design with that rectangle of glass is one of their ugliest designs imo.
Corroboration works if every news website is confirming their rumors with independent sources. If you're just relaunching each other's presumed leaks, every day, that's not corroboration.
Anyway, in a few hours it won't matter anymore 🙂
Apple after Ive. Now it’s for real.
Seriously. And I don’t even use my phone that much. I can’t even get 10/12 hours with low power mode and there is nothing draining the battery. (As in running in the background ) that is out of the norm. Example. The weather app.
I'm wondering if Tim will appease the current regime and announce the orange model the "Trump Edition"... but then they'd need to plate aluminum rails with shinny gold
I will consider the blue 17 Pro Max, but likely going back to black. I’ve enjoyed natural titanium color on my 15 Pro Max, but ready for color change, and ready for a phone that doesn’t get so hot all the time.
I was hoping the orange was a more subdued copper color. But I also think it’s great apple is offering more vibrant colors on the Pro range.

Wow, my life is going to change today 🤣
On the eve of Apple's special event, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has listed some of the key new features he expects for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Gurman expects the following for the devices:
All of those things have already been rumored, but extra corroboration is always nice, as we count down the final hours until Apple's official announcements.
- Orange and Blue will be the unique new color options
- Improved optical zoom, with perhaps an 8× limit, up from 5× on the iPhone 16 Pro models
- A vapor chamber cooling system for improved heat dissipation
- External design changes, including a redesigned rear camera system with three 48-megapixel cameras

I'd like to think the orange one is to honor the Netherlands as it's been their national color for ages, instead of this "Trump edition" crap.
I might get orange if it’s more like copper. I might get blue if it’s a bit deeper/darker with a tinge of green.
It’s going to be tempting not to upgrade if the 8x telephoto and 48mp lens don’t come to the regular 17 Pro. Although I kinda wonder if they’re moving to 4x optical at 48mp and 8x digital at 12mp. I feel like there has been enough conflicting information here that this makes more sense to me.
I’m really liking the rumored battery capacity increase for the regular 17 Pro. That’s the only thing I missed going down in size. Don’t want a big phone again.
Possible outliers that I’m hoping for:

Possible outliers that I’m hoping for:
- Reverse charging for AirPods and Apple Watch
- Significantly reduced display reflectivity
- 480fps slow-motion recording at 1080p
- Aperture increase in the new camera system to let in more light and have more background bokeh
- Some other advancement in the camera sensor tech to improve dynamic range, color, sensitivity, etc
- A real upgrade to the microphone when recording video that doesn’t simply rely on AI
- Faster wired charging for emergencies
- A small built-in lip around the display like the Apple Watch Ultra but a little thicker, or otherwise glass on the front and rear that is more resistant to breaking so I finally don’t need a case!
I'm just going to upgrade the iOS on my 15 Pro Max, and [if I can brave it] finally go caseless - will feel like a whole new phone to me!! lol
Well I’m upgrading, I’ve had my 13 pro max for 4 years now, I think its time..
