To set a photographic style, from the Camera screen select the Dropdown arrow icon then select the Photographic style icon.
2. Swipe left to the desired style. To customize your style, select TONE or WARMTH then adjust as desired.Â

The LiDAR Scanner measures how long it takes light to reflect back from objects, so it can create a depth map of any space you’re in. Because it’s ultrafast and accurate, AR apps can now transform a room into a realistic rainforest or show you exactly how a new sneaker will fit. LiDAR allows for enhanced AR app functionality. It can also be used to measure objects.
From the home screen, navigate to and select the Utilities folder. Select the Measure app. Point the camera at the start point of the object you want to measure, then select the
Plus icon. Point the camera at the end point of the object you want to measure, then select the
Plus icon again. The measurements of the object will be displayed.

This device has a larger Wide sensor with bigger pixels to gather more light, for more detail and color in your photos. It has a stabilizer that moves with the sensor, keeping it even steadier than before. Until now, sensor‑shift stabilization was only on DSLR cameras. This is the first time it’s been adapted for iPhone. Whether you’re shooting video of your kids as you chase them around the park or holding your iPhone out the window on a bumpy road, you’ll get more precise stabilization than ever.
