The Apple iPhone 17 Pro delivers outstanding performance in DXOMARK’s Selfie tests, claiming the top position and surpassing the iPhone 16 Pro Max by three points. This leap is largely thanks to its redesigned 18MP Center Stage front camera, which features the first-ever square image sensor on an iPhone. The innovative sensor design ensures consistent framing regardless of device orientation and provides a wider field of view than most competing smartphones, making it ideal for both solo shots and group selfies.
In addition to the hardware improvements, Apple has refined its image processing algorithms to offer a more cohesive and reliable selfie experience across both photo and video modes. The combination of the new sensor and enhanced software results in higher detail capture, improved adaptability, and consistently strong image quality under a wide range of lighting and shooting conditions, solidifying the iPhone 17 Pro as a leading device for front-camera performance.

The iPhone 17 Pro shows greater improvement in video than in still photography. It offers excellent video quality with accurate exposure, a wide dynamic range, and pleasing color rendering across various lighting conditions. Autofocus is quick, responsive, and dependable, while the slightly wider depth of field helps maintain sharpness for moving subjects.
The new Center Stage feature adds dynamic subject tracking for video calls and recordings, keeping faces centered and in focus. Texture detail has improved slightly, and video stabilization is more effective than on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, especially during handheld shooting. Still, there’s room for refinement in motion compensation, and testers noted occasional focus breathing and abrupt white balance shifts in some clips
