Portrait Mode on iPhone 11 Works With Objects and Pets

Or
3. Desire to not mine user photos, robbing privacy, then making money from it.

Snark works much better when it actually makes sense. Your number 3 makes no sense. So basically you're saying that since Apple doesn't [checks notes] Desire to not mine user photos, robbing privacy, then making money from it they limited the functionality of PM on the XR. Sooooooo... now that they've increased the functionality of PM on the 11 and always had it on the flagships, does that mean they are in the user usin', privacy robbin', money makin' bidness now?

All these iPhones achieve Bokeh through software. None of them can support it natively as they don’t have real lens system of bigger cameras. Therefore, you would see artifacts around some objects sometimes when the software miscalculates the effect. The XR was worse in that regard since it had only one camera to rely on, so it was more complicated for the chip to imitate Bokeh.

I thought I read somewhere the XR was superior to the others?

Deliberate software limitation. Quite pathetic of Apple to claim this is hardware limited.

On XR it was only working for people due to a lack of second camera.

Nah bro it’s software locked. The XR can do it they just don’t implement it.

They do this soooo much with so many things. It’s shameful to see so many people not, realize it?

Photo below taken from Apple website. Is it me or is the bokeh effect on the building on the left completely broken? Looks weird AF and draws my eye.

Unfortunately, weird effects are a common problem with faked portrait mode. It looks decent on an iPhone screen but once you print them at 5x7 or whatever or zoom them up to fill an iPad screen, they sometimes look crappy.

I want bokeh depth effect applied to video. Come on Apple !
Instagram tries to do it with their focus mode setting in stories..
