I’ve been using my iPhone 17 Pro for almost four months now, and while it continues to prove that it’s a low-light beast with its camera, I stumbled upon a new mode that makes this camera phone even more valuable. I’m referring to night mode max, which is another option to choose when you’re shooting photos under extreme low light conditions.
I didn’t realize this was an option when I first got my iPhone 17 Pro, but it’s one of those hidden iOS 26 features you should know about because it’s a game-changer for nighttime photography. What’s special about night mode max is that it increases the exposure time to 30 seconds, allowing the camera sensor to gather in more light. The results are sharper, better-exposed photos.
