Overview
- Apple executives say a larger square sensor and an overscan region let the camera compose landscape or portrait output regardless of how the phone is held.
- The system uses the Apple Camera Interface on A19 and A19 Pro chips to move high-resolution sensor data in real time for reframing and stability.
- Action‑mode‑level stabilization now applies by default to selfie video, with Apple citing automatic steadiness enabled by the sensor’s wider capture area.
- Camera UI additions include an Orientation switch above the shutter and Tap‑to‑Rotate/Tap‑to‑Zoom prompts, with optional Center Stage Auto Rotate and Auto Zoom that disable manual controls when enabled.
- Reviewers report smoother 4K selfie video, fewer retakes, useful creator features like dual capture and effective third‑party app support, with noted accessibility gains for users with hand tremors.
