April is the month when the secrets of the new iPhone are starting to stop being precisely secrets. Just a look at the photos that Majin Bu disclosed to understand How leaks evolve. And well before seeing an iPhone in a speech, accessories manufacturers are starting to make their industrial molds to have ready -to -release blankets. This year, these metal parts are the news.
The images do not deceive and do not leave the imagination either. The hole for the iPhone 17 pro camera module is as tall as the rumor said. Even that of the iPhone 17 “get rid of this new design style: A horizontal bar at the top side And a depth as we had never seen on an iPhone before.
The covers and the covered mussels make us an idea of the similar size of the iPhone 17 pro cameras
The scene is repeated each year: Apple ends the design, the blanket manufacturers receive the data and the images end up filtering on the internet. And not just accessories They start to start their machine. Apple himself begins to make his mass iPhone in July, so we are a few months after millions of iPhone start to assemble.
This industrial process in which thousands of people and hundreds of companies work explains why, months before the presentation, we already have photos of covers and models. Saving the secret every day is more complicated. Although yes, what we see are covers and “raw” mussels. This magic of Apple's finishes still remains. Something that is impossible to filter, and as we have seen on other occasions, it can lead to completely unexpected surprises.
To the filtration of the molds is added the image published by @ lusiroy8 in X, where you can see a IPhone 17 pro max. Little to comment, the image says everything. In comparison with the previous generation, the difference is obvious.
The new “bump”: the biggest camera jump in Apple's story
Let's go to the important thing: why is this “bulk” so exaggerated? The answer is simple and makes sense. The iPhone 17 Pro will publish a 48 megapixel telephoto lens. Apple Parks finally the last 12 megapixel sensor And bet on a bigger bigger. This increase in this size is not only a question of number.

A more resolution sensor must also be greater. Because if on the same surface of 12 megapixels, we put 48, the pixels will be smaller and, therefore, will capture less light. And that's why, having already Three 48 megapixel sensors, Apple had to rethink The whole module.
The Lidar and the Flash sensor move to the right to leave the space to the new set of cameras, which already has three 48 megapixel sensors.
So far, the iPhone 16 Pro has a 5x optical zoom. Wonderful for landscapes, but not so much for portraits. Apple seems to have taken note and on iPhone 17 pro There will be a telephoto with optical zoom. The game does not stop there: the 48 megapixel sensor allows you to pull Hybrid zoom up to 7xCutting digitally without losing quality.
That the molds are revealed as soon as it implies that industrial machines for September are already underway. Apple He no longer plays to hide his camera: he shows pride. The camera will be enormous and the technology behind it justifies each millimeter additional. If you were looking for the perfect iPhone for portraits, zoom and night photos … The iPhone 17 pro points like the others.
