Apple removes iPhone 16, 17 from Texture and Grain camera feature

Apple provides no technical justification for restriction

The Mac Observer notes that Apple has not explained processor, sensor, or memory requirements that would prevent older iPhones from supporting the features, despite discussing a new computational imaging pipeline in iPhone 18 Pro announcements. The unexplained retreat from initially broader compatibility appears to be a deliberate limitation.

“Apple has not identified a processor, sensor, or memory requirement that prevents recent iPhones from using the controls. Its iPhone 18 Pro announcement discusses a new computational imaging pipeline, but it does not say that pipeline is the reason older models cannot capture photos with Texture and Grain.”
