Awesome iPhone 15 camera feature lands on older iPhones next week
In This Article
During the iPhone 15 andiPhone 15 Proannouncement on September 12, Apple added a few neat kinks to the camera’s Portrait mode.
One of them was the ability to use all of that lovely depth information captured by the cameras to adjust the focal point by within the Photos app after the fact.
Save 25% on the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger for iPhone
Amazon has cut the price of the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods by 25%.
Well, according to a new report, the feature won’t be exclusive to the iPhone 15 and will be delivered to older iPhones on September 18 via theiOS 17update.
According to an eagle-eyediOS 17 betauser on Twitter, the feature is available in the release candidate. Better still, you’ll be able to refocus old photos you’ve snapped in Portrait mode! That means you’ll be able to revisit Portrait mode photos from the past you didn’t get right first time around.
If this is indeed the case, it’ll be interesting to see which iPhones you’ll be able to refocus those images on. Dylan himself was using an iPhone 14, but it’s possible it could go father down the trough too. It might be dependent on the A-Series chip generation. Perhaps Apple will offer some clarity in the days to come.

Theother new Portrait feature enables the iPhone 15 Procan intelligently take portraits with all of the associated effects without actually entering the specific Portrait Mode within the camera interface.
It’s a neat new feature enabled when people cats or dogs are spotted within the frame and the user taps to focus, all of that depth information will automatically be captured. From there you’ll be able to transform it into a portrait photo within the Photos app. Nice.
