Apple iPhone 17 models to boast 24MP front cameras

Fresh reports are suggesting that Apple is set to significantly upgrade the front camera capabilities of its entire iPhone 17 lineup . According to Apple analyst, Jeff Pu all models, including the standard, Pro, and potentially a "Slim" variant, will feature a 24-megapixel front camera.

A research note from Haitong Investment Bank, accessed by MacRumors, claims that all iPhone 17 models, including the potential "iPhone 17 Slim," will feature a 24-megapixel front camera with six plastic lens elements.

This is a significant upgrade from the 12-megapixel camera with five lens elements found in the current iPhone 15 lineup. The increased resolution is expected to deliver improved image quality, particularly in low-light conditions, and enable enhanced features for selfies and video calls.

Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted in January that at least one iPhone 17 model would feature a 24-megapixel front camera with a six-element lens. With multiple sources now echoing this information, the possibility of this upgrade becomes increasingly likely. Kuo has emphasised that these changes will result in a substantial enhancement of image quality.

While the iPhone 17 is still over a year away, these consistent rumours suggest that Apple is prioritising camera advancements for its next flagship series.
