iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Pro: I Didn't Expect One Camera Spec to Make Such a Big Difference
The iPhone 17 Pro features an 8x optical zoom telephoto lens with a 48MP sensor, offering sharper long-range photos and better image detail than the base iPhone 17, ZDNET said.
- ZDNET's reviewer found the iPhone 17 Pro retains a standout camera advantage over the iPhone 17 after alternating between the two on trips.
- By adding Pro features like a brighter Always-on display and Center Stage, the iPhone 17 narrows the gap with Pro counterparts, ZDNET notes across recent generations.

- With Pro prices starting at $1,099, ZDNET recommends the $300 upgrade for buyers who photograph frequently, while the iPhone 17 still takes beautiful photos for many users.
- Amid reports of a split launch, The Information outlines a strategy separating Pro model debuts from regular iPhone releases, with iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max arriving during the Pro launch window later this year and the standard iPhone 18 delayed until spring.
