When introducing the iPhone XR, Apple highlighted its ability to take “dramatic portraits” even with a single camera lens as one of its most striking features. However, this feature was limited to photos of people and pets. This meant it wasn’t possible to take portraits of a different subject, like a flower. Similarly, the 2020 and 2022 iPhone SEs, as well as the latest iPhone 16e, had the same limitation. Here are the details.
Next-Generation Portraits with iPhone Air
The most significant innovation introduced with the iPhone Air is the ability to take fully featured “next-gen” portrait photos of any subject. This means you can take advantage of all the “next-gen” portrait features updated with the latest iPhone 15:
- Shoot Portraits of Any Subject: Now, you’re not limited to just people and pets; you can take portraits of anything, from your breakfast to a flower.
- Depth Control and Focus Adjustment: You can adjust the depth of field and focal point as desired after shooting.
- Depth capture even in normal Photo mode: This feature allows you to transform a regular photo into a portrait, even if you forget to enable Portrait Mode.
- HDR support: You’ll experience wider dynamic range and vibrant colors in portrait photos.
- Improved quality: Sharper details, more vibrant colors, and better low-light performance.
