> In this selfie taken on the iPhone 17, you can see the level of detail in the face, hat, and the texture on the wall. You can also see the dynamic range in the clouds in the sky.

The shot is literally flooded with ISO noise...

The 'forever change' is that you can hold the phone vertical and it will crop the photo in landscape. If anyone was curious.

It’s more about the 24MP square sensor that enables this to be done without quality loss.
