Apple’s biggest launch event of the year is here – and the tech giant says 2025 is a big year for cameras, starting with the iPhone 17. But while the rear cameras offer a number of updates, the front-facing camera has the most unusual upgrade: it’s square.
The iPhone 17 series front-facing camera, now dubbed Center Stage, uses a larger sensor that’s square-shaped. Why go square? Apple says the new shape of the sensor allows users to change the orientation of the photos without turning the smartphone itself.
