But Apple\u2019s latest version that launched on iPhone 16 is technically quite different.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than applying edits to a photo after the fact, your chosen Photographic Style impacts Apple\u2019s image processing pipeline at the time a photo is taken\u2014and is reflected in the Camera app\u2019s viewfinder before you even snap a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Apple showed off a brand new Photographic Style alongside the iPhone 17: \u2018Bright.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The new Bright style \u201cbrightens skin tones and applies a pop of vibrance across the image.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/bright-photographic-style-shot-iphone-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1018641\"  \/>Photo captured on iPhone 17 Pro using \u2018Bright\u2019 Photographic Style<\/p>\n<p>Though Apple pitched it as an iPhone 17 feature, the \u2018Bright\u2019 style is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/09\/apple-unveils-iphone-17-pro-and-iphone-17-pro-max\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">also coming to the following<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>iPhone 16<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these models gains the new style via iOS 26.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re running the iOS 26 RC build, you can try out the new Bright style now. For everyone else, iOS 26 <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/09\/09\/apple-announces-ios-26-release-date-september-15\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">launches next week<\/a> on Monday, September 15.<\/p>\n<p>I gave Photographic Styles a try when the iPhone 16 first launched, but ended up sticking with the Default option. I\u2019m interested to give them another look, though, and see if this new Bright style might win me over.<\/p>\n<p>Which Photographic Style do you currently use?
