According to Apple analyst Jeff Pu, all four iPhone 17 models, expected to launch next year, will feature an upgraded 24MP front-facing camera. This information comes from a research report released by Pu at investment bank Haitong International, which also includes a chart detailing the 24MP front camera with six plastic lens elements across the iPhone 17, tentatively called iPhone 17 Slim, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

This news isn't entirely new. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously claimed in January that at least one iPhone 17 model would boast a 24MP front camera with a six-element lens. With multiple sources now pointing to this upgrade, its likelihood increases.

Kuo suggests these changes will "significantly improve image quality." The higher 24MP resolution allows for greater cropping while maintaining high image quality, leaving more room for post-processing. The six-element lens also enhances image quality, as each lens can correct various aberrations and distortions, resulting in clearer and more accurate photos.

Compared to the 12MP front camera and five-element lens found in the iPhone 15 models, the iPhone 17's front camera upgrade is substantial. It highlights Apple's ongoing commitment to enhancing the iPhone's photography experience, offering users superior selfies and video call quality.

While the iPhone 17 is not expected to launch until September 2025, rumors about two generations of iPhones often circulate early, as Apple begins development and prototyping long before the official release.

While specific details of this front camera upgrade are still under wraps, it's clear that the iPhone 17 will deliver a more engaging experience for selfies and video calls. We eagerly await more information on the iPhone 17 and the official unveiling of this new model.
