On a billboard those would look fine. You’re usually hundreds of feet away.They should put an iPhone XS selfie shot on a billboard. Something like this :

From that distance, this would be a perfectly acceptable portrait of Marilyn Monroe.

As long as it's full of masking bugs, it's a complete hit and miss. Unless we can edit the depth mask manually, it's not very usable in the real world. For vlog-style walk-around video and instagram, why not. But if you're going to view the image on a 27" 5K display, there's no substitute for a DSLR or mirrorless system. A lot of people don't want to watch content on a palm-sized device. If you just want to show a funny picture, fine. But beautiful work can only be appreciated on a bigger screen, 13 inch at least.
20 years from now you'll be banging your head against the wall that you only have 1 inch by 1 inch instagram images, nothing you can show on a proper display.I’m not sure what’s worse audiophiles or photography/camera snobs.
Nice enough pics but they border on looking artificial and photo-shopped.
They don’t border. They cross that line with both feet.
The HDR effect is unbelievably annoying.
Fake bokeh is... well... just fake looking.

I like the quality in the second pic.Here is one of my best XS shots from this weekend. Nice detail, bokeh, and highlights:

This next one is not the most interesting shot but it shows the capability when shooting directly into the sun. In years past this photo would be more of a silhouette:

I'd love to find out more about how Apple is doing the effect. I am guessing that Apple is doing a simple algorithm where they know which part of the picture should be in focus, but don't have any depth information than that so only have two levels of depth to play with - in focus or out of focus.Does depth control only work on Portraits, and if so, why? Doesn't make sense to me...
