- A strange iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Glitch is reported
- White curls and black blocks appear on certain photos
- Apple says this is a rare occurrence and a solution is already on the way
It seems that the launch of iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro has not gone as smooth as Apple would hope: The cameras on these phones are sliding in a strange way in certain scenarios, though a solution is on its way.
The problem was pointed out by Henry Casey on CNN (via MacRumors) who noticed black sections and white offenders in some photos taken during a concert. Apparently this affected about 1 in 10 of the snaps taken by Casey.
According to an Apple spokesman, this can “happen in very rare cases where an LED light screen is extremely light and shiny directly into the camera”. Apple says it is identified a solution to the problem that appears in an “upcoming software update”.
It is not clear whether this problem also affects the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which was launched at the same time, though it is not something the Techradar team has noticed while underwent some of the new iPhones. We have asked Apple for further comments and will update this story if we hear back.
A first day solution?
These iPhones do not go on sale or send to customers until tomorrow, September 19, so there may well be a camera fault finding update available for download as soon as these devices have been boxed.
Apple has not said what causes the rare mistake, although there are some speculation in the Macrumors forums that these odds may be caused by the way iPhones take more exposures and combine them into one.
It is now standard practices on smartphones of course, and means that the best parts of each snap can be combined to produce a balanced, natural, single photo. It seems that some of the immediate imaging has gone wrong.
You can already pre -order iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air with starting prices of $ 1,099 / £ 1,099 / AU $ 1,999 and $ 999 / £ 999 / AU $ 1,799 – though waiting times on the iPhone 17 Pro model have been creeping up since the pre -arrangement arrangements opened.
