Unlike the 'real' camera, the iPhone's sharpness doesn't always drop-off smoothly: for instance it's blurred both shoulders and the subject's scarf, despite the nearer being in a similar plane to the face. Just as with the real lens, the cat-eye effect diminishes as you 'stop down.' And Apple has given its bokeh a smooth, fairly gaussian look, rather than the slightly bright-edged bokeh that Nikon has produced, being constrained by the limitations of things such as glass and physics. Then, when you look at the bokeh off-center, you'll see it develops an elongated 'cat-eye' effect. Scaling the Nikon image down to the same width, you can see the bokeh is around the right size: We thought we'd put this to the test: how convincingly does the iPhone Xs resemble a real-world lens? Is the F-number scale anything more than a pastiche? To find out, we shot the Xs alongside the Nikkor 58mm F1.4, mounted on a full frame camera. This may sound like Apple just borrowing an interface from the real-world (a process called skeuomorphism), but it goes beyond this: the company says it's modeled the bokeh characteristics to mimic the behavior of a Zeiss lens. This brings up a scale marked in F-numbers. ![]() But, as well as letting you adjust the intensity of the effect, the function has been enhanced to more accurately represent the bokeh characteristics of a real lens, rather than just trying to blur the background.Įvery time you shoot an image using the 52mm-equivalent F2.4 portrait camera on the iPhone Xs you have the choice of editing the bokeh effect. One of the key new features of Apple's latest iPhones is the ability to adjust the 'bokeh effect' on portrait images, after they've been taken. ![]()
