Hyper-Realistic iPhone 17 Pro Selfie Simulation Prompt

A detailed, technical prompt designed to generate hyper-realistic selfies that specifically mimic the output and aesthetic of an iPhone 17 Pro front camera. It includes simulations of the lens distortion, TrueDepth mapping, Smart HDR tone mapping, noise profile, and realistic skin texture requirements.
