I tried Apple's 2 big AI features announced at the iPhone 17 event - and both are game changers


Apple focused on its cutting edge hardware for the iPhone 17 launch, but also unveiled a couple groundbreaking AI features. Both could make a big difference in daily use.

The Center Stage branding is a little bit confusing though, because the selfie camera on iPhone 17 is used for photos while the feature on iPad and Mac is for video calls. Still, after trying it on various demo iPhones at Apple Park after the keynote on Tuesday, it's easy to call this the smartest and best selfie camera I've seen. Every week, I'm in contact with friends and community members who speak one or more of the supported languages, so I'll have ample opportunities to put it to work in the real world and then share what I learn.
