Apple Highlights Depth Control Feature on iPhone XS, XS Max and XR With New How To Video

Apple today shared a new how to video that's designed to walk new iPhone users through using the Depth Control feature on the iPhone XS (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-xs/), XS Max, and XR.





Depth Control, a feature new to the 2018 iPhones, lets you adjust the amount of background blur in a photo taken with Portrait Mode using either the front or rear camera.

Depth Control can be accessed by choosing a Portrait Mode photo from the Photos app, selecting the "Edit" button, and using the slider at the bottom of the screen to adjust the blur from f/1.4 (maximum blur) to f/16 (no blur).





Depth Control is available when editing an already-captured photo and as of iOS 12 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-12/).1, there's a real-time Depth Control feature for adjusting blur before you take a photo.





Apple has in the past shared multiple short how to videos like this to highlight photography capabilities on the iPhone along with iPhone X features.





We're likely going to see several more videos focused on the <!---->iPhone XS<!---->, XS Max, and XR in the coming weeks as Apple helps users adjust to the new features available on the devices.
