Apple Highlights Depth Control Feature on iPhone XS, XS Max and XR With New How To VideoApple 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, 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 12.1, 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.
