You're mistaken. Yes, portrait mode on the 7+ was introduced in 10.1 on the 7+ rather than at launch. But this feature was never available on the 6. It requires the two cameras in the 7+ to create a depth map and then blur the distance. Nothing to do with autofocus. There's no feature that was removed other than the headphone jack.
- dogma1138 10y agoWell IIRC the portrait mode was absent completely from the 7+ camera app. This is analogous to the Tesla example, new hardware no software. The fact that the 7+ has a different portrait mode doesn't matter, the app had none, and in this case the new Tesla comes with new hardware that provides a different and arguably better "autopilot" but the software would trail the release of the hardware.
- nardi 10y agoYou're mistaken. There is no portrait mode on the 6S(+). It's not different. It appeared on the 7 first.
- j2bax 10y agoRight but portrait mode didn't exist before iPhone 7+ iOS 10.1. They didn't take away anything and then give it back, they simply added that new feature after the iphone7+ was released. It wasn't just a standard optical focus feature that the iPhones had previously. It is using software to identify the subject and blur the background to give the effect of a dslr camera when shooting a portrait photo with a low aperature setting.
