Ladies and gentlemen, if you thought that the iPhone camera had reached its peak, then you might be amazed by the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to analyst Jeff Pu, the future phone superstar will be equipped with a 48-megapixel telephoto lens, which is not only a digital leap, but also a deep optimization of the Vision Pro headset. However, Jeff Pu is tight-lipped about the details of this mysterious shot, and we can only wait for it to be revealed.
The iPhone 15 Pro already supports 3D depth space** recording with main lens + ultra-wide angle, which means the experience on the Vision Pro will be even more immersive.
Talking about connectivity again, the iPhone 17 Pro will introduce Apple's self-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, which is another big step on Apple's road to reducing its dependence on external vendors. It is expected that by 2026, the entire iPhone 18 series will use this self-developed chip. At present, Broadcom is still Apple's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip supplier, but it seems that Apple is quietly changing this situation.
The Apple Watch Ultra, Apple's cutting-edge product in the field of smartwatches, is also brewing a major update. According to Trendforce**, by 2026, the Apple Watch Ultra will ditch OLED displays in favor of MicroLED displays, and the screen size will increase by 10% to 212 inches. This new screen could cost two to three times as much as OLED,** around $120. This coincides with a report by display analyst Ross Young, and Apple's adoption plan for MicroLED has been widely recognized by the industry.
Apple's choice of MicroLED is not unreasonable. This technology will result in higher brightness, better color reproduction, wider dynamic range, wider viewing angles, and higher efficiency. In short, the image will be more vivid, as if it were directly "painted" on the glass. In addition, Apple can reduce its dependence on Samsung and other leading companies through its own display technology. Apple has been investing in this technology for nearly a decade, and plans to apply it to everything from the Apple Watch to iPhones, iPads, Macs, and even the Vision Pro headset in the future.
