3 Exciting Camera Features on Apple's New iPhone 17 Lineup
"Apple says the camera "uses AI" to expand the field of view and adjust the orientation. It's super convenient, especially considering that you don't have to alter how you hold your phone, meaning no more precarious grip. It much more comfortable too, but it will probably still take time to retrain your muscle memory and stop yourself switching to landscape mode for selfies."
"It works up to 4K 30 frames per second, and you'll see a floating preview of the front camera-like when you're on a video call-with the main viewfinder displaying the view from the rear camera. The placement of the floating front camera view seems to be important because it doesn't look like you can change it post-capture, so you'll want to make sure you flick it to a spot where it doesn't block the action."
The camera uses AI to expand the field of view and automatically adjust orientation, allowing vertical holding for wider selfies and reducing precarious grips. Users may still need time to retrain muscle memory to avoid switching to landscape. Selfie cameras upgrade to an 18‑megapixel sensor that captures more detail and improves 4K HDR video stabilization. Native Dual Capture enables simultaneous front-and-rear recording within the iPhone camera app at up to 4K 30 fps, showing a floating front preview over the rear viewfinder. The floating preview placement appears fixed post-capture, so placement should avoid blocking important on-screen action.
