Although many people still do not have the iPhone 17 in their hands, because the date scheduled to receive them is September 19, others fortunate already possess it, and, therefore, they have been able to try it in different conditions, among which is the camera test.
However, it has not come out as expected, and A user has already reported a problem when rendering the photoswhere these have a black box that spoils it all, something that we understand that it is part of the software, and that will correct, but that, for whom more than 1,000 euros have been spent on a phone, it is frustrating.
Failure in the iPhone 17 cameras
Apple has confirmed that some users of the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro are experiencing a fault in the camera when taking photos under certain light conditions. The problem appears when it points directly to very bright LED lights, generating in the artifact images such as black paintings or white scribbles that ruin the capture.
The defect was initially detected in a CNN Underscored review, alerting many users who had already received it, or were close. According to Apple, it is a very rare situation that only occurs in extreme circumstances, but the company has publicly recognized the error and has assured that it already works on a solution through a software updateso we can be somewhat calmer, especially those who do not have it yet, because it may be corrected by then.
The interesting thing is that it is not a hardware problem, something that would have been more complicated to correct, but an adjustment at the image processing level, so everything indicates that the devices will not suffer consequences beyond waiting for the patch. At the moment, Apple has not given a concrete date of when this update will arrive, although it is expected that it is not too late, especially considering that the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro officially go on sale on September 19, and they will not want more complaints.
This type of failures is not new in Apple products premieres, since in the past we have seen other initial problems that were then quickly solved with updates. The important thing in this case is that The error occurs in very specific situations And it should not occur in the taking of a normal photo, which will have passed millions of evidence before by the company. Even so, Apple wants to ensure that everything works well, and more when the camera is one of those points where they want to highlight.
And you, do you think this will be a problem on the new iPhone 17, or just a simple bug that will solve before normal users have the phone in their hands? The truth is that it can be frustrating to see how a photo is wrong because of the phone, although for this, as we said, it has to occur in a very punctual situation.
