I experience a photic sneeze reflex, like many people. Since upgrading to the iPhone 17 Pro I’ve discovered that I cannot reliably use the flashlight feature to complete a sneeze when in a dark or dimly lit room. This is a major regression from previous phone models. With my 16 Pro flashlight, I could almost always complete a sneeze when the urge to sneeze started creeping in.

Makes me wonder if the new LED flash is producing light wavelengths that are just different enough from previous generations so as to reduce its effectiveness at finalizing a sneeze for a photic sneeze sufferer like myself.
