Apple is set to release a fix for a camera bug affecting the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, which causes black boxes and white squiggles to appear in photos. The issue was identified by CNN Underscored‘s Henry Casey during an iPhone Air review while taking pictures at a concert.
He said that one out of every 10 images taken with the iPhone Air or the iPhone 17 Pro had “small blacked-out portions, including boxes and parts of white squiggles” that showed up from the LED board at the event.
Apple told Casey that it’s an issue that can occur in “very rare cases when an LED light display is extremely bright and shining directly into the camera.” Apple has a fix, and plans to release it in an upcoming software update.
MacDailyNews Take: We expect iOS 26.1 to be released soon with a fix for this issue.
