"The iPhone 17's front-facing camera has a brand new sensor that eschews the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio, for a square format. That gives the camera some extra wiggle room around the edges, to enable Center Stage for video calls and live streams from your selfie cam. That means you'll be better centered during your Zoom calls, even if you're walking down the street holding your phone out in front of you (not recommended) while discussing your latest work project."

Another perk of this change is that you no longer have to rotate your phone to take landscape selfies."
The iPhone 17 front-facing camera adopts a square sensor instead of the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio, providing additional edge area that enables Center Stage for video calls and live streams. Center Stage keeps subjects centered during calls, improving framing even while moving. The camera eliminates the need to rotate the phone for landscape selfies by offering selectable framing options, including 4:3 portrait, 16:9 landscape, or square. On-device AI can automatically adjust framing and present those aspect ratio options. The change targets more reliable centering for video conferencing and more flexible selfie composition without manual rotation.
