TL;DR
- Apple has announced that all iPhone 17 series models have an 18MP selfie camera with a square sensor.
- This sensor allows for landscape or portrait images and videos while holding the phone in portrait orientation.
- This camera also offers Center Stage tech for automatically tracking you during video calls, as well as improved video stabilization.
Apple has just announced the iPhone 17 series, and the phones bring a few upgrades across the board. However, Apple is also bringing a rather cool selfie camera to the table, and we’d like to see this tech on Android phones.
All four iPhone 17 series models offer an 18MP selfie camera. However, this so-called Center Stage camera has a square sensor. Apple says this sensor shape allows for landscape or portrait photos/videos without physically changing the phone’s orientation. Apple is ostensibly cropping in on the sensor for portrait and landscape shots, but it’s unclear if you can take a square selfie to make the most of the square sensor.
