Overview
- Apple’s support guide omits iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max from the list of devices that support Night mode in Portrait mode, confirming the removal.
- Macworld, MacRumors, and others reproduced the missing option in tests after users reported it on Reddit and Apple’s forums.
- On iPhone 17 Pro models, Night mode photos no longer store depth data, preventing later conversion to Portrait shots.
- Night mode remains available for standard photos, selfies, and time‑lapse videos on the iPhone 17 Pro; the limitation is specific to Portrait mode.
- Night mode captures are limited to 12MP, whereas non‑Night Portraits can reach 24MP, and Apple has not provided a reason or timeline for restoring the feature.
