All image sensors installed in the rear cameras of the iPhone17 Pro and iPhone17 Pro Max are also made by Sony, and the model numbers and specifications are as follows.
| Rear camera | Model number and specifications |
| Wide angle | Sony IMX903 48 million pixels 1/1.28 inch f1.28 Second generation sensor shift optical image stabilization |

The rear wide-angle cameras and rear ultra-wide-angle cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have the same image sensors as the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The image sensor size of the rear telephoto cameras of the iPhone17 Pro and iPhone17 Pro Max has been increased from 1/3.2 inch to 1/2.55 inch (see image below) of the iPhone16 Pro and iPhone16 Pro Max, and the pixel count has also been changed to the 48 megapixel IMX973.
Also, as shown in the image below, WekiHome reports that the tetraprism lens has also become larger.
The larger image sensor and tetraprism lens of the rear telephoto cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max may have made the rear camera module larger, leading to the enlargement of the rear camera bump.
