Apple may copy a 2013 Galaxy S4 feature for iPhone 17 Pro’s camera
Android phones have been able to record simultaneously from their front and rear cameras for over a decade at this point.

- iOS 19 preview leaks hint at UI redesigns, including rounder icons and bouncy animations.
- A new TabView dock could unify navigation within Apple apps, with third-party support likely.
- One of iOS 19’s headline features for the iPhone 17 Pro could be simultaneous front and rear camera recording, something Samsung debuted with the Galaxy S4 in 2013.
The iPhone 17 series will be Apple’s hot launch of 2025 with a refreshed design, but the company has a lot more in store this year. iOS 19 is also expected to feature a refreshed design, with first developer previews expected to arrive in June after WWDC and stable releases following the iPhone 17 launch. Now, we have more details about how iOS 19 could look, and surprisingly, it could come with a feature that Samsung launched back in 2013 with the Galaxy S4.
