No. The beam width control feature is available on iPhone 14 – 18 Pro and Pro Max phones – but not on the base iPhone 17. The Pro and Pro Max phones have multi-LED flash arrays, with LEDs that the phone can turn on or off individually, to support Adaptive True Tone flash. That hardware lets Pro and Pro Max phones offer a beam width feature.


The base iPhone 17 does not have Adaptive True Tone flash and lacks the hardware to support the flashlight beam width adjustment feature.


Turn the flashlight on or off on your iPhone or iPad Pro – Apple Support
