Key Points:
- iOS 27 introduces a new Dual Camera feature for FaceTime on iPhone 17 and newer models, allowing simultaneous use of front and rear cameras during calls.
- This feature builds on the iPhone 17's existing Dual Capture capability, which lets users record video using both cameras at once.
- Compatible devices include iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, Air, and iPhone 17, with dual camera mode activated by tapping the ‘Flip’ button during FaceTime.
- Both participants need to be on iOS 27 to use dual camera mode; older iPhones can view the dual camera stream but cannot activate it themselves.
- The feature was tested by 9to5Mac’s team in the iOS 27 beta, highlighting its seamless integration and optional front camera toggle.
