iPhone 17s get a square, doubled-size front-facing camera sensor. Makes a lot of sense, and will get a ton of use by users with the Center Stage feature auto-framing the shot.

Physicality: the new age of UI
There’s a lot of rumors of a big impending UI redesign from Apple. Let’s imagine what’s (or what could be) next for the design of iPhones, Macs and iPads.

A year ago, we launched Kino — Halide’s video sidekick. We couldn’t have imagined the incredible rollercoaster of its first year: topping the App Store charts, a cameo in the iPhone 16 keynote, and winning the App Store Awards as iPhone App of the Year!
Happy birthday, Kino 🥳

It’s iPhone 16e week, but let’s take a moment to honor the finest iPhone with a home button: the iPhone 7! Maybe the nicest iPhone ever?
Dylan McDonald (@dylan.mcd8) shot this utterly gorgeous portrait of the 7 series lineup. We’ll always be very partial to the Jet Black — the best iPhone finish.

Now that we're a bit later into the lifetime of iPhone 16, we're curious to hear how you use the Camera Control. Is it a part of your workflow? Love it or hate it?
