Tomorrow is iPhone 17 launch day – the day when customers around the world get Apple's latest product in their hands. And when they do, I think the industry is going to realize exactly the criminal masterstroke of this phone – because it hijacked the most must-have feature in the world of mirrorless cameras.
Most people have slept on the fact that the iPhone 17 family has adopted a square sensor on its selfie camera. But the fact is that what Apple is calling Center Stage is, in principle, open gate capture. And much like open gate, until mainstream consumers get the product in their hands, they won't realize quite what a huge deal it is.
