Check out the before and afters of that article. It's amazing what a software update can do.
With all the computing power that these new iPhones have, will apple give us a software update to improve image quality?
That's why iOS 12 won't run on the iPhone 6s, right?
Oh, wait, iOS 12 DOES run on the 6s, and Apple announced in September an extra focus on keeping older devices relevant longer.
If you're going to impute bad behavior, use more than vague suggestions of ill intent and general hand-waving to back it up, please.

It's all done in software. Google is no doubt using some ML ("AI") processing to improve the quality of the adjustments.
Are you enjoying Animoji (which doesn’t use TrueDepth camera) on your 6S?
Your arguement makes zero sense. The point is Apple reserve the big new features for their latest phones.That's why iOS 12 won't run on the iPhone 6s, right?

This is true. But having tried Android for a few years, I'll take Apple's refinement any day, to the quirks of Android.
If there's an app (or two) that can do it on older phones, then what's the problem? If you have an X or an 8, just use those apps instead of the stock camera app.The ability to adjust blur in portrait photos is only available on the XS and XS Max. Again, Apple states that previous iPhones is not capable of doing it. That's a lie, because Google photos iOS app now allows you to do just that along with the FOCOS app. But keep sipping the koolaid.
In comparison to my Xs Max and Xr, I bought a pixel 3 and the night sight is like magic. My friends could not believe the huge difference lol. Google's computational photography is out of this world.

Try pixel with vanilla android. In addition to my iPhones I also collect some high end Android but never had Nexus or Pixel. I never appreciated Android this much until I owned a pixel. I am still not fond of Samsung skins
The problem is Apple said it isn't possible. Are their software developers not as good as these developers creating FOCOS app or Google photos?If there's an app (or two) that can do it on older phones, then what's the problem?

As for Night Sight on iOS, couldn't a 3rd party developer create an app for it? I'm not fully versed on all of the Night Sight stuff, but is apple locking out any required APIs for a developer to incorporate into their own app? I thought NS was just taking a series of photos at different exposures and stitching them together. It's not done in real time, as opposed to Apple's HDR technique.
I voted now.Just saw the latest image quality comparisons and the difference between the Xs and Pixel 3 is huge. Since this is purely a software upgrade, would Apple be willing to put in the effort to bring this to at least the Xs and X?

If not, we should try to get pressure put on Apple to do so as it would be tempting for them to save it from the XI.
Test it for yourself. Cover the infra red camera on the X. Animoji works. Cover the front camera, and it stops working and tells you the camera is covered.Is this a fact?
Are you enjoying Animoji (which doesn’t use TrueDepth camera) on your 6S?
Yes, it does.
You can hobble along with a less-accurate version if you have the TrueDepth camera covered, but Animoji absolutely uses the TD Camera for data as part of the rendering process of the animoji's as people know them.
Have you tried using Animoji in low light?

With all the money, staff and technology behind Apple you'd think they would be able to come up with their own version.
