Apple confirms: The new iPhones have a camera problem
The latest batch of Apple smartphones should be sold tomorrow, but some lucky journalists and influencers have been trying the devices for some time. And although the verdict was mainly positive, a critic has spotted a strange problem with the camera both on the iPhone air and the iPhone 17 Pro Max – A problem that Apple has now officially recognized.
During the revision of the iPhone Air for CNN, Henry T. Casey took the two handsets to a television on the radio concert, planning to test their photographic capacities in difficult lighting conditions. It turned out to be a mixed experience; Aside from certain concerns about digital zoom, he noticed a disturbing visual problem (although intermittent).
“One photo in 10 taken on the air iPhone and the iPhone 17 Pro Max [had] Small blackened portions, “he explains,” including the boxes and white scribbles of the large LED board behind the group “.
In the three examples of photos that Casey includes with the exam, you can see the problem very clearly. This should be white forms on the group’s backdrop of the group contain “small blackened portions”, and more abstract and colorful images are prey to large black oblongs and white scribbles. It is a strange and potentially disastrous result, even if it only occurs occasionally.
CNN conscientiously contacted Apple to request what was going on, and the company published a declaration in time for publication in the journal. He recognized that it is “something that can happen in very rare cases when a LED light screen is extremely shiny and shone directly in the camera. Apple has identified a correction and will publish it in a next software update. ”
This is all, for the moment: we have no more details on what precisely causes this reaction, why the reaction seems to be unique to the last phones, or why Apple engineers were unable to predict that this would happen or identify it in quality control tests. (Maybe they don’t go to enough concerts.) We also don’t know which version of iOS will contain the fix, but we recommend that the owners of the last iPhones are an eye on iOS updates and install them in a timely time.
