Specifically, the option to select Night mode when taking snaps in Portrait mode \u2014 which gives the camera app an artsy depth-of-field effect \u2014 isn\u2019t supported on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max devices, per a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/guide\/iphone\/iph1a3c5b4c3\/ios\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">support guide<\/a> on Apple\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">iPhone 17 Pro users <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/iPhone17Pro\/comments\/1ofwqv6\/night_mode_in_portrait_mode_has_been_removed\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">on Reddit reported<\/a> that the feature wasn\u2019t there last month. My colleague Tom Warren also says that Night Mode is missing from the Portrait mode on his own iPhone 17 Pro \u2014 something he thought \u201cwas a bug.\u201d Apple hasn\u2019t explained why it removed the feature on its latest Pro models, or if it will be added in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">We have reached out to Apple for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">iPhone 17 Pro users can still take Night mode photos and videos across other camera modes. Portrait mode users who enjoy the sharper subject focus and blurring background effects will be missing out, however, making low-light photography feel like a downgraded experience on Apple\u2019s current flagship phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"iPhone 17 Pro users have fewer ways to take photographs in low-light conditions compared to those using older&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[351,16637,356,353,342,111,43,139,69,370,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-171936","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-cameras","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-iphone","12":"tag-mobile","13":"tag-new-zealand","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz","17":"tag-tech","18":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
