There’s been a lot of talk about how Apple plans to boost the camera system on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Only to add on to all the speculations and rumours, a new leak from Jon Prosser reveals a new exclusive Camera app feature is on the way for this year’s Pro models. Here’s what we know.

Record With Both Cameras at Once on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max

In a recent YouTube video, Jon Prosser shared a preview of what iOS 19 might look like. But at the very end, he dropped a surprise hint of what’s coming in this next iPhone Pro lineup.

According to Prosser, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will get a new Camera app feature that lets you record video from both the front and rear cameras at the same time. The feature works kind of like a FaceTime layout where the main screen shows the rear camera view while a smaller window displays the front camera feed.

While third-party apps have allowed this kind of recording for a while, this will be the first time Apple adds it directly into the built-in Camera app. It’s especially useful for YouTubers, vloggers and content creators who want to capture both perspectives at once.

But there’s a catch!

This feature will only be available on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. That’s a bit of a letdown, considering third-party apps already offer it on older iPhones too.

It’s possible the feature relies on the new A19 Pro chip, which is expected to be exclusive to the Pro models. Or maybe Apple has added some extra touches that third-party apps haven’t managed yet. Then again, Apple might just be doing what it often does, giving Pro users a few more reasons to upgrade.
