The iPhone Air has a hidden camera trick that has made it so much easier to live with

What if I told you the iPhone Air has a hidden camera that solves one of the biggest pain points of Apple’s ultra-thin phone? You’d be skeptical, but it’s true because of the new front-facing camera that has a square sensor and thus can take wide-angle shots. As you’ll see in this article, using the front-facing wide camera to take photos gives you a much wider angle than the single camera’s 1x camera. It’s not a perfect solution, by any means, and most people looking to buy a new iPhone should just buy the iPhone 17 and call it a day, but for those that need a little bit of versatility in the admittedly-lacking iPhone Air camera suite, this trick gives you options if you use it right.
