Missing iPhone 17Pro Pro Res RAW documentation

And this. While it does not list the iPhone 17 explicitly, the information is likely to be the same.

Record ProRes files to an external storage device

With iPhone 15 Pro models and iPhone 16 Pro models, you can connect an external storage device with USB-C to store or record your ProRes files directly on an external storage device. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Your external storage device must be formatted with exFAT. Password-encrypted drives aren't supported.
• Use a USB 3 cable with speed of at least 10 Gbits per second.
• Your external storage device must write at speeds of at least 220 MB per second for 4K60 ProRes and at least 440MB per second for 4K120 ProRes. If you attach a slower external storage device, you might get a Slow Recording Speed message.
• Use the Files app to format your external storage device and manage your ProRes files. You must re-format your external storage device before beginning each 4K120 ProRes recording session to ensure optimal performance.
• To record to your iPhone, disconnect the external storage device.

it's about "updated documentation" nothing more.

OK. But no one yet has an iPhone 17 model until at least this coming Friday. I'd check back after the phones are officially launched or if you feel Apple needs to be aware of this, you are not alerting Apple to anything here. This is a user to user only forum, where no one Apple participates, nor reads for user feedback.

You are more than welcome to provide feedback to Apple here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

From the page:

ProRes files are up to 30 times larger than HEVC files. You can store and manage your ProRes files on your iPhone, on iCloud, or with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro models, on an external storage device connected with USB-C.

Not unusual to see the documentation not updated for a phone that has not been released yet. There is actually quite a few Support Documents that make no mention of the iPhone 17 or iOS 26 that will run on that phone. Stay tuned!

I believe that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max does need to record ProRes RAW to an external SSD. Maybe that will change in the future but for now it seems it does:

How about you wait until the 17 pro is actually released before you start whining about updated documentation for it.
