For me it’s the always-on portrait mode that wins for me. And better cameras.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is portrait mode just a blurred background? Google photos has had the ability to blur backgrounds ( at least on Pixel) on old photos for a fair while.

The iPhone's portrait mode uses actual depth information captured from the separate depth sensor. The new feature is that it will always capture the depth information for every picture you take so that at a later point you can use it to blur parts of the image at different depths. Google's version of portrait mode just uses image recognition to detect what's in the background. It does a good job, but not as good as if it had actual depth information.

hOw Is ThAt PoSsIbLe???

All the YouTubers invited at Apple’s are saying this is an incredible and revolutionary phone. How can it be otherwise ?

[–] Earthwormjim91 5 points 1 year ago

Eh pretty much all of the reputable YouTubers have said it’s not a huge upgrade, but the new features are very nice to have.

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say it’s incredible or revolutionary. You’ve gotten the click baiters that say it’s the biggest upgrade ever, but that’s about it.
