Apple has been ruling the smartphone market with its premium iPhone series for years, offering high-performance capabilities, a smooth user interface, and high-end cameras with professional-grade sensors and mobile photography.
iPhones are among the best in the business in terms of video recording. Apple is now said to be making the iPhone 17 Pro the ultimate videography device, so sophisticated that it might even be used to replace professional cameras in content creators’ arsenals.
As per media reports, Apple is taking a strategic step in promoting video recording on the new iPhone 17 Pro models. Although iPhones have been quoted to have improved video capabilities for years, Apple is now poised to take them to the next level, positioning the iPhone as a genuine rival to other professional cameras. The new iPhone is poised to lure digital creators and vloggers to use iPhones as primary recording devices.
As per a news report in India Today, Apple is likely to promote the iPhone 17 series’ camera aggressively and highlight its video features when the phone launches in September 2025.
Apple wants to make the iPhone 17 series especially desirable for content creators.
In addition to the camera, the iPhone 17 Pro is also speculated to feature startling design upgrades. As per sources, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are set to unveil a groundbreaking new camera design that eliminates the ubiquitous square-shaped camera bump for a sleek aluminum camera bar spanning the width of the iPhone.
According to Fixed Focus Digital, iPhone 17 Pro models will have a hybrid material design made up of glass and metal. The glass part where the Apple logo will be located is likely to be wirelessly chargeable, and aluminum framing will add strength and minimise its vulnerability.
The gadget will again be constructed of aluminum, increasing its durability.
With sustainability being among the factors driving the choice of aluminum for iPhone 17 Pro models, this move deviates from Apple's 2023 decision to use titanium in its pro versions.
Reportedly, Apple has been testing a wireless reverse charging feature for iPhone 17 Pro Devices. Activating the feature would allow the iPhone to charge other Apple products wirelessly, making it even more convenient for commuters.
