iPhone 17 Pro Camera Miss
Removes key Night Portrait mode in iPhone 17 Pro
The iPhone 17 Pro, Apple's newest flagship, has been met with mixed reactions, especially from users who value advanced photography features. One major point of contention is the absence of the Night Portrait mode—a feature that allowed users to capture stunning portraits in low light. Despite expectations that the mode would be improved or retained, Apple decided to remove it entirely in this iteration.
This decision has shocked many fans and tech reviewers alike, as Night Portrait mode was praised for its ability to deliver high-quality nighttime photos with natural lighting and depth effects. The omission raises questions about Apple's camera software strategy and how it plans to compete with rival smartphones that continue to push low-light photography innovation.
While the iPhone 17 Pro still boasts other camera improvements, the lack of Night Portrait mode leaves a noticeable gap for users who prioritize night photography. Apple has yet to provide an official explanation for the removal or any plans to reintroduce the feature in future updates.
