If you've got an iOS developer with the latest version of iOS 10.1, reap the benefits I say. The StockX team took to the streets (and rooftops) of Detroit to test an upcoming camera feature many iPhone users are waiting for.
The "bokeh effect" on iPhone makes use of both of the iPhone 7 Plus' cameras, and some software, to create the shallow depth of field look of a photo taken with a DSLR. It's called Portrait Mode and, based on the Apple keynote, seems designed for faces, but the StockX team used the still-unreleased feature on $10,000 worth of sneakers.
This writer would never stick up for iPhone or Apple (proud Android user here) unnecessarily but it must be stated that this is beta software — that means more tweaks may come to improve this feature before it hits your iPhone 7 Plus. I mention this because the iPhone did…alright. On YouTube there are hundreds of videos showcasing the new camera feature; in some videos the phone does great, in others, not so great. Just remember, this isn't finalized software yet.

A note: Apple is not the first manufacturer to use dual cameras, nor is it the first to incorporate a feature like this in a phone — some Chinese brands have been doing this for years now in phones that generally do not release Stateside. If you're an Android user and on the market for a dual camera setup, check out the LG V20 — very exciting.
Thoughts? Sound off below.
