Apple Releases First iOS 10.1 Beta to Public Beta Testers With Portrait Mode for iPhone 7 Plus

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 10 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-10/) update to public beta testers for testing purposes, just under two weeks after releasing iOS 10 to the public (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/13/apple-releases-ios-10/) and one day after providing the iOS 10.1 beta to developers.





Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 10 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on their iOS device.





Those who want to be a part of Apple's beta testing program can sign up to participate through the beta testing website (https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/), which gives users access to both iOS and macOS Sierra (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-sierra/) betas. Betas are not stable and include many bugs, so they should be installed on a secondary device.

iOS 10.1 introduces a "Portrait" mode (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/21/ios-10-1-portrait-mode-for-iphone-7-plus/) for the iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) Plus, which was first shown off when the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus debuted on September 7. Portrait mode is designed to mimic the kind of shallow depth of field images that can be taken with a high-end DSLR, with a front subject that stands out over a blurred background.





The two cameras in the iPhone 7 Plus capture images, which are scanned by the built-in image signal processor. Machine learning techniques are use to recognize people and/or foreground images, keeping people and main objects in while applying an artful blue or "bokeh" to the background.

Portrait mode is an iPhone 7 Plus-only feature because it requires two images to create a depth map. iOS 10.1 also likely includes bug fixes and behind-the-scenes updates to address issues that have popped up since release.





iOS 10 offers features like a redesigned Lock screen, a Siri (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/siri/) SDK to allow third-party apps to integrate with Siri, and a completely overhauled Messages app with stickers, a full App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/app-store/), Digital Touch, Bubble Effects, and more. Other new additions include a dedicated "Home" app for HomeKit users, new facial and object recognition capabilities in Photos, and redesigned Maps and Apple Music (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-music/) apps.
