I think portrait mode is valuable, Live Photos I haven't found any significant use for yet.

What’s amazing about Live Photos, is that when it launched with iPhone 6s, Apple heavily marketed that. Now, I don’t even know anyone that uses Live Photos around me, and part of that I think is because failed marketing where Apple does not let the user know enough about it. The iPhone has so many capabilities and camera features, it gets lost in translation with out any type of reminders about these features at times. Similar to how 3D Touch is not known to many consumers, because they have no idea what it does.

I leave Live Photo’s on. Scrolling through photos and having them move. Or having the ability to turn any picture you take into a loop etc is fun. I don’t really 3D Touch to view the “video” part but the other features that’s possible with it is why I leave it on.
