With the anticipated release of Apple's iPhone 16 series just around the corner, excitement is building among tech enthusiasts and iPhone users alike. As per tradition, Apple is expected to unveil its new lineup in the fall, with a possible announcement date of September 10th. This year's iPhone 16 series will likely continue the trend of offering four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. However, there are several noteworthy changes and features that set this generation apart.

The recent iOS 17.2 update has ushered in an era of advanced videography for iPhone users, especially for owners of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max. A standout feature in this update is Spatial Video recording, designed to create immersive, three-dimensional video experiences. Using this feature can transform videos into dynamic, engaging content.

One of the best features of the iPhone camera is Portrait mode. By simulating an expensive DSLR camera and lens setup, images captured in Portrait mode blur the background, highlighting the subject and providing a more professional result. Those shooting in Portrait mode may not even realize this setting has more to offer when editing photos.

The background blur, or bokeh, is not fixed as it would be when capturing images using different aperture (or f-stop) settings. In fact, on the iPhone, the background blurriness can be adjusted after the picture is taken.
