Due to two significant upgrades promised in the upcoming iOS 16 version, owners of Apple's latest iPhones should expect a considerable camera upgrade later this year.
According to Apple's official iOS 16 website, the Portrait mode on the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max cameras will all get an improvement that improves the bokeh effect by adding artificial blur to the foreground and background.
By more properly imitating the look of professional cameras with wide-aperture lenses, the Portrait mode effect should become even more realistic. A portrait image with a blurred background will make your subject pop, but a true wide-aperture lens will also blur the extreme foreground.
Deliberately blurring items in the foreground can also be a wonderful way to frame the subject in your photo, so this new feature will open up new creative options for iPhone photography, in addition to improved realism.
Apple's second update promises more realistic depth-of-field effects for profile pictures, as well as around the edges of hair and glasses, in Cinematic mode.
It's fantastic to see Apple making unexpected quality enhancements to the iPhone 13 so close to the iPhone 14's release. Dxomark claims that the iPhone 13 Pro suffers from certain depth estimate mistakes in Portrait mode, citing areas around hair as an example of the problem.
Perhaps the iPhone 14's new camera will deliver a truly unique, must-have update later this year, but iOS 16 will at the very least allow iPhone 13 customers to psychologically boost their camera's existing Dxomark score by a few of points.
