JAKARTA Apple got rid of one of the photo shoot features from the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. The feature that Apple removed was Night Mode or the ability to shoot during lack of light in certain formats.
As reported via 9to5mac, Night Mode is still visible in a number of other iPhone 17 Pro shooting formats, such as standard photo formats, selfies, or time-lapses. Apple only removes its features from Portrait format.
This feature seems to be removed only from Apple's latest devices. The reason is, in the updated Apple support page, the models that provide this feature are only the iPhone 16 Pro series to the iPhone 12 Pro series.
In fact, this news is not so surprising because a number of iPhone 17 Pro owners have reported missing features on Reddit in November 2025. Initially, the disappearance of Night Mode in Portrait Mode was suspected to be a bug or a software error.

However, a few weeks after the findings, the feature was evenly removed. Until now, Apple has not provided an official explanation regarding the reason for the removal of the feature in the latest iPhone Pro model.
This situation raises questions about Apple's commitment to photography features on its devices. What's more, Apple hasn't explained whether the Night Mode feature for Portrait Mode is only temporarily removed and will be back in the future.
The removal of Night Mode for Portrait Mode is very important. This shortcoming makes the photography experience when minimal light will be less satisfying, especially for users who want to use sharp broken effects.
