Just when it seemed clear exactly what was coming when for the new iPhones, a new part of the puzzle has become apparent.

As is typical with the feature gap between standard and pro models, rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max (as well as the Air) will get the newest A19 chip, while the regular iPhone 17 will get the same A18 chip that powered last year's iPhone 16.

Most flagship phones, like the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, Sony Xperia 1 VI, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, offer periscope lenses that max out between 4x and 7x optical zoom.
