The petapixel article with the photo in question says an Apple tech said Apple is beta-testing a feature that chooses the best picture from several taken. Does Apple roll out beta features to a subset of users like that?
- girvo 3y ago> Does Apple roll out beta features to a subset of users like that? No; it's explicitly opt-in, you have to go out of your way to install beta versions of iOS.
- sbuk 3y agoYou used to have to sign up and install a profile. As of iOS 15, it’s a toggle in the update settings. It still takes a deliberate action to enable though.
- srvmshr 3y agoProbably need to have iOS beta enabled explicitly or have a TestFlight account to actually access such feature. I too feel this photograph was stage managed somehow
- TerrifiedMouse 3y ago> I too feel this photograph was stage managed somehow The example does feel “too clean”. Has anyone at all been able to reproduce something similar?
- srvmshr 3y agoTo have this kind of perfect reproduction, 3 poses need to be in 3 separate global shutter readouts (at best) within space of 0.12~0.15s i.e a burst at about 8-10 fps. iPhone sensor still raster-reads so I would have expected more motion between these three poses in that time span. I feel by the pose and image quality, there was more time in between
- buildbot 3y agoApple also basically never just drops new features without marketing them somewhere. They would have said that best take was coming to iOS 17.1 or something, then rolled out those beta versions with that feature.
