Look for Apple to much heavy than ever tout these video signaling capabilities erstwhile the caller iPhones debut successful September.It's rather imaginable that 8K video signaling volition beryllium 1 of the capabilities that Apple volition tout erstwhile the caller lineup launches. Video signaling capabilities already added to iPhones implicit the years see an Action mode for stabilization, Cinematic mode for shallow depth-of-field, and 120 fps 4K Dolby Vision video recording.

Multiple sources person claimed that the iPhone 17 Pro models volition diagnostic a redesigned rear camera system.
