<\/a><\/p>\nBut, we\u2019re not here to talk about what was 10 years ago; we\u2019re here to discuss what new camera features were announced at todays Apple Announcement for the iPhone 8<\/a>, 8 Plus<\/a> and the iPhone X<\/a>. So let\u2019s get right to it.<\/p>\n If you recall from our post last year about the iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus<\/a>, the big news was around the new Portrait mode, found in the iPhone 7 Plus, which used the iPhone\u2019s wide and telephoto camera lenses to calculate the depth of field. This is something that\u2019s illustrative of a great camera that has a very big sensor. Well, fast-forward to today and Apple has further expanded that functionality with a larger 12-megapixel-camera sensor and a new Portrait Lighting mode.<\/p>\n This Lighting mode seems a bit too good to be true, no? It combines the smartphone\u2019s flash and depth map to simulate the studio lighting setup. Now, I\u2019ve seen professional photographers lighting\u00a0arrangements and setups, and I simply can\u2019t believe that Apple thinks they can recreate that effect on their phone. I do believe it\u2019s pretty cool to adjust the lighting on someone\u2019s face in real time. And for you selfie takers, this will definitely up your selfie game.<\/p>\n The new iPhones will come with an A11 bionic chip. This is the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone. The A11 has a new image processor, with faster low light autofocus, and new hardware noise reduction. OK, this is nice, but not exciting.<\/p>\n The iPhones have a new 12MP sensor that\u2019s larger and faster than its predecessor. This new sensor also provides 83% more light and is more power efficient. While this is nice, it\u2019s not exciting. Apple, this is beginning to seem a lot like your iPhone 7 announcement; the chips are better, the cameras are better. So far, I am not seeing anything news worthy:<\/p>\n iPhone 8:<\/p>\n iPhone 8 Plus:<\/p>\n OK, I may have found something that peaked my interest. Apple is calling it Portrait Lighting. Portrait lighting is when the dual cameras sense of depth kicks in and reworks the lighting while you compose your shot. Let that sink in for a second \u2013 in this new mode, you can adjust facial contour lighting on the fly. There are quite a few options to choose from.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note that the lighting options are not filters. The lighting options are real-time analysis of lighting. You can also edit the photo once it\u2019s been captured. It does look really, really cool.<\/p>\n I was thinking about ending this post here, but then Tim Cook showed us a slide that said, \u201cOne more thing. . . .\u201d<\/p>\n The rumors were true; Apple unveiled the new iPhone X (X as in 10, not the actual letter of the alphabet). Now I won\u2019t share\/bore you with you all the details about how it\u2019s all glass, or about AR Emojis (Animojis), or some silly\/cute anecdote about who gets to call the Fox animoji theirs. I won\u2019t even get into them calling it \u2018Super Retina display\u2019 instead of \u2018Retina display\u2019.<\/p>\n OK, before I get into the camera, there is a cool new feature on the iPhone X that\u2019s worth talking about since it has to do with the camera. You can unlock your iPhone X with your face<\/a>. Face ID is the future of he we will unlock our phones.<\/p>\n Face ID uses the TrueDepth camera system, which is made up of an infrared camera, flood illuminator, dot projector, and front camera. Whenever you look at your phone, even in the dark, your phone will be unlocked. Simply swipe up and you\u2019re ready to use phone.<\/p>\n When it comes to the rear camera, it\u2019s not much different than the iPhone 8 Plus.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s new in the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus Camera?<\/h5>\n
