Tipster: iPhone 17 Pro to Feature 8x Zoom, Pro Camera App, and More

You might be OK. I do a lot of urban street photography in San Francisco.

And also hitting up strangers on the streets for some conversation and a few portraits for photo projects I've done. And being mindful of the Sun, always wanting it at my back to illuminate what I'm shooting. I've yet to have any flaring issues with my 16PM. Unlike my iPhone 14 which flared easily (due to the phone's silvered lens rings) if you weren't careful.

I often use a wide variety of creative lighting relationships, and sometimes documenting a public place determines the light and sun position which means unavoidable direct light relationships... e.g. golden hour sun low and at two o'clock relative to the primary place-subject in view (parklet, plaza entrance, bike lane, water feature, etc.) This is why I need properly designed and coated lenses. I'm still baffled why Apple has de-prioritized these image quality issues for so long.

No way Apple would introduce so many improvements in a single generation. They always release the necessary minimum to drive sales with zero innovation.

We are getting repositioned Apple logo, that’s it.

Sadly, even if all of this is true including other rumors, Pro models will just be uglier 16 Pros with slightly better camera and CPU.

Zero innovation? Besides creating the smart phone? Cloud storage and syncing?

Apple is quality. Android is always janky. Go over there and complain for a bit.

MR is full of articles disproving the idea that all we are getting is a repositioned logo.
