For a second year in a row Apple has given some love and attention to the ultrawide camera, but not to the main camera.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758942490_901_gsmarena_004.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 17 review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In keeping with tradition, Apple is really tight-lipped about the camera hardware it uses. As far as we have managed to gather, the main camera on the iPhone 17 is based on the same Sony IMX904 sensor as the main camera on the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15 before that. It is a 1\/1.56&#8243; 48 MP sensor and 1.0\u00b5m individual pixels. The sensor sits behind a f\/1.6, 26mm lens, just like before. You also get Apple&#8217;s sensor-shift OIS and dual pixel PDAF. It&#8217;s a potent camera, but far from the most impressive out there.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 17 gets a new ultrawide camera, replacing the 12 MP units of its predecessor with a 48 MP one. As far as we can tell, this is the same ultrawide module as on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models, as well as the new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. We aren&#8217;t exactly sure of the sensor model (our best guess is a Sony IMX972), but it has a 1\/2.55&#8243; size and 0.7\u00b5m pixels. It sits behind a 13mm, f\/2.2 lens and features PDAF, allowing it to double as a macro shooter.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-blurb article-blurb-findings\">&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Wide (main):<\/b> 48MP Sony IMX904 (1\/1.56&#8243;, 1.0\u00b5m), f\/1.6, 26mm, dual pixel PDAF, sensor-shift OIS; 4K@60fps<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Ultrawide:<\/b> 48MP Sony IMX972 (1\/2.55&#8243;, 0.7\u00b5m), f\/2.2, 13mm, 120-degree, PDAF; 4K@60fps<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Front camera:<\/b> 18MP Sony IMX914 (1.0\u00b5m), f\/1.9, 20mm, PDAF, OIS; 4K@60fps<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s new 18MP selfie camera is a star attraction that makes a debut across the entire lineup (as is more or less the norm with iPhone selfie cameras). It is an interesting concept with a unique octagonal shape sensor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758783915_52_gsmarena_001.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"506\" alt=\"iPhone 17 series selfie camera sensor (image courtesy &lt;a href=\"\/>WekiHome&#8221;&gt;<br \/>\n<strong>iPhone 17 series selfie camera sensor (image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3gt9EmXH4eU\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WekiHome on YouTube<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it&#8217;s not really a square, like you would expect from watching the product keynote, as the corners have been shaved off. We aren&#8217;t sure exactly why, but the missing corners mean photos taken in 1:1 aspect ratio are of actually lower resolution than both 4:3 and 3:4 ones. <\/p>\n<p>The new sensor is what we would call &#8220;multi-aspect&#8221;. It is designed to capture selfies in approximately 18MP resolution, with a 4:3 aspect ratio, in either portrait or landscape orientation, maintaining the same diagonal field of view. Meaning you get to have full-res horizontal selfies when holding the phone vertically. Those shots come out at 4,892&#215;3,672px, but if you want a 1:1 image, you&#8217;d get a center crop from the sensor, at 13.5MP. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gsmarena_026.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>That is, unless you have the resolution set in the phone (as opposed to the camera app) settings at 12MP, in which case you&#8217;d be looking at 12MP 4:3 shots and 9MP in 1:1 aspect &#8211; that&#8217;s rather maniacal and you don&#8217;t get a resolution indicator in the selfie viewfinder like you do for the rear cameras.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, the selfie camera has PDAF. It uses a 20mm f\/1.9 lens with OIS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758942495_908_gsmarena_021.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 17 review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>iOS 26 simplifies the camera interface by bringing Photo and Video modes to the forefront, with other modes accessed by swiping left or right. Users swipe up to reveal capture options, such as flash and exposure. Controls such as exposure, depth, zoom, and camera switching are managed via a dedicated Camera Control strip at the bottom, while resolution and frame rate settings are found in a new menu at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>The Camera Control dedicated capacitive touch area\/button is present on the iPhone 17. In iOS 26, the &#8220;Camera Control&#8221; feature has been simplified to be more intuitive, allowing users to customize which camera settings appear in the control overlay by double-clicking the control button and accessing &#8220;Customize&#8221; within the Camera Control settings. You can now choose your most frequently used options, such as exposure, depth, zoom, or camera switching, making the control button less overwhelming and more efficient.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758942496_859_gsmarena_026.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 17 review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In keeping with tradition, unfortunately, Apple&#8217;s camera settings remain incredibly convoluted and unorganized. With the new camera UI redesign, you can at least quickly access a subset of the camera resolution controls, but not entirely (no 12 MP\/24 MP switching) and only after you enable a toggle in the camera setting menu, within the main phone settings menu. Most advanced options are still hidden away and utterly disorganized within said settings menu.<\/p>\n<p>Daylight photo quality<\/p>\n<p>Main camera<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 17 captures stills with its main camera in 24 MP resolution by default. You can embark on a quest around the settings menu and switch to 12MP, if you so desire, but we really think that the 24 MP photos are a &#8220;sweet spot&#8221; for quality and size.<\/p>\n<p>These main camera stills offer very good quality overall. Detail is plentiful. The phone does go overboard with sharpening from time to time, but it is only really noticeable when pixel-peeping; otherwise, it looks very natural and is done maturely. The colors are spot on, and the contrast is pretty good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;reviews\/25\/apple-iphone-17\/camera\/gsmarena_002.jpg&quot;);

This includes the selfie. Stabilization is also included in all modes. It is always on and can not be turned off. If you want to capture 4K@60fps videos, you must do so in the &#8220;high-efficiency&#8221; HEVC\/H.265 format, which is not supported everywhere for playback. Otherwise, videos are captured in a standard AVC\/H. 264 video stream at around 45 Mbps. There are two audio tracks recorded &#8211; stereo AAC and four-channel APAC. All of this is stored inside a MOV container.<\/p>\n<p>The main camera produces excellent 4K video with minimal flaws. Detail and sharpness are impressive, while dynamic range is wide and well-balanced with pleasing contrast. Colors are rendered with high accuracy as well. Overall, the iPhone 17 fully upholds Apple&#8217;s reputation for top-tier video recording.<\/p>\n<p>At 2x zoom, videos are largely the same quality-wise, just a bit softer and noisier, but not by much. 4K video from the ultrawide camera is quite enjoyable. It offers solid detail with crisp, sharp imagery, while dynamic range is impressively wide. Colors lean a bit more vibrant compared to the main camera, which comes as a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>The main camera captures truly great low-light videos. The detail is excellent in both shadows and highlights. Light sources are handled masterfully. At 2x zoom, videos are still great and just a bit softer, as expected. Ultrawide videos are decent. In fact, even better than the low-light photos, in our opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Stabilization works great across all cameras. We have no complaints.<\/p>\n<p><b>You can check out the playlist below, which includes a multitude of video samples across different modes.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A familiar primary camera with an upgraded ultrawide No, we did not accidentally copy the section&#8217;s headline from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":257680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-257679","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115274069735443957","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
