May have ended up upgrading to an iPhone XS yesterday. Have to say, I’m loving the fact I can adjust depth of field, and finally the camera focusses on my dog in portrait mode! #ShotOniPhoneXS pic.twitter.com/OJBdkYLzAz

Beautiful images shot on iPhone
Many of the images take advantage of the improved bokeh (“bo-kay”) capabilities. Previous dual-lens iPhone cameras could take this type of images, but Apple’s latest allow the user to adjust how blurry the background is.
