If you use your iPhone to take selfies more than anything else -- and Apple says users took more than 500 billion selfies last year -- take heart. At Apple's fall iPhone event Tuesday, held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, the company not only debuted the 5.6mm-thick iPhone Air, but demonstrated that phone's new selfie camera.
The iPhone 17's center-stage front camera has the company's largest-ever front camera sensor, nearly twice the size of the last one, Apple said.
In addition, the sensor is optimized to take selfies in any orientation. So if you're taking a portrait-orientation selfie and suddenly your best buds run into the frame to pose with you, the iPhone can automatically change to landscape mode without you having to rotate the phone.
