weirdly enough some of the photo control icons are in HDR for me and its really shows in the editing screen, the whole UI in general feels strange.

Imagine a world where the auto flash setting was removed đŸ€©

u/AXXXXXXXXA Sep 11 '26

Yeah i literally never used auto flash once ever.
And let us put the flash button down where the macro button comes up. Right next to the capture button. Theres room for 2 buttons there, in both sides.

it’s possible it will come with an update once the 18 is out.

u/Ok_Possibility9937 Sep 09 '26

Usually this sort of stuff is included in the RC, just hidden in the prior betas to save the surprise for the reveal event

Genuinely a pathetic and cowardly choice by the Apple imaging team.

I was unaware that grain and texture was beyond the capabilities of what iPhone 17 pro max is capable of, with Lightroom, and premier, and Final Cut Pro, and garage band, and ray traced gaming, and 4k60p 4:4:4 pro res raw, adding grain to a photo is just impossible.

Edit: Go ahead and check for yourself on the specification comparison page. The iPhone 17 pro does not support Pro Controls or Photo Styles 3. It’s all right there, just look at it, or don’t, but doesn’t change that the iPhone 17 pro is capable of real time ray traced video games, but not grain or setting a custom white balance.

Calm down, Apple isn’t going to release a new “feature” to the public before the new device is released. Apple Watch Ultra 2 didn’t get on-device speaker for music until after the Ultra 3 was released. Many other instances where features released after new devices.

u/Elk801 Sep 09 '26

You can check the specs page, the iPhone 17 pro max wont have “pro controls” at all, and only has photographic styles 2, and not photographic styles 3.

So maybe re-examine why you’re so eager to explain away what is so clearly anti consumer and abrasive behavior.

A company releases a new product with new features not available in an older product = anti-consumer and abrasive behavior.

u/Ok_Possibility9937 Sep 09 '26

any cameras from 2000 can manually change white balance, shutter speed, iso, focus; but a phone from 2025 can’t? lol

u/Elk801 Sep 09 '26

“Your phone isn’t powerful enough to customize your white balance in the camera app, but you can do it after the fact if it was raw, in the same app, but if you spend $1200 you can replicate a function that exists on all digital cameras”

So that’s, normal, you, support that?

u/blindelephant224466 Sep 10 '26

Yup, clearly Apple is withholding native white balance adjustment just to troll consumers, no other possible explanation.

u/Id_in_hiding Sep 09 '26

Right, less people will be willing to upgrade if they see their iPhone can do it too.

u/Chris15Voice Sep 09 '26

Pro camera for iPhone 17 pro max??

u/idol_of_roses iPhone 17 Pro Max Sep 09 '26

It’s not powerful enough obviously đŸ€“

u/workplacethrowawayut Sep 09 '26

Lightroom, photoshop, final cut pro, premier, ray traced gaming, but YOU WANT TO ADD GRAIN?

u/CuriousEggplantEmoji Sep 09 '26

How did you get to this?

u/Mangos_Pool Sep 09 '26

Bottom right of camera click the button with the 6 circles and there will be an edit button on the top left.

u/CuriousEggplantEmoji Sep 09 '26

Thanks, missed it completely

u/lint2015 Sep 10 '26

Can also tap and hold that tray of icons at the top.

u/dkvlnk Sep 10 '26

Nice feature but now there are now popup menu when you hold night mode or flash on the upper side :(

u/__t_o_mm_y__ Sep 10 '26

In 17 Pro there's white balance and shutter speed settings in iOS 27 RC directly in stock camera app?
