My friend Henry Casey at CNN Underscored published his iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max review this afternoon, and he noticed an odd imaging problem with the camera. Apple says a fix is coming in a future software update.
From Henry’s review:
“I also noticed an odd imaging problem at this concert, where one out of every 10 or so photos taken on the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max have small blacked-out portions, including boxes and parts of white squiggles from the big LED board behind the band.”
An Apple spokesperson confirmed to CNN Underscored that this can happen “in very rare cases when an LED light display is extremely bright and shining directly into the camera.” Apple says it has “identified a fix and will be releasing it in an upcoming software update.”
Props to Henry for noticing this quirk. It’s not something that caught my eye during my week with the iPhone Air or iPhone 17 Pro Max.
There’s no word on when this software update will be released. The iPhone Air is set to be released to everyone on Friday. Did you preorder one? Let us know down in the comments.
