- Yummy software bokeh.
Ugh.Continuity - what a beautiful hair color********
- excuse me, but is this something new?GeorgesII

- @Georges, I think the idea of using separate lenses to capture different focal depths, and combining them for this, is yes, new to phone camerasmonospaced
- yep, that fake bokeh effect. You can do it with google camera too. Looks clearly fakeProjectile
- ^ looks fine on my Android - have used it a fair bit - admittedly not always perfect but most of the time doesn't look fake. you must be doing it wrong.fadein11
- the image to the left looks fake.fadein11
- I must've been mistaken. I actually thought the blur effect on the iPhone was from one lens (authentic) and the in-focus part was the other.monospaced
- if the two lenses don't even make a real selective focus, then it's no better than the image processing for "fake" single-lens versions we already havemonospaced
- there may be a "real bokeh" movement in opposition to this "iphone bokeh through tech"vaxorcist
- "Previously reserved for DSLR". And compacts. And mobile phones.Peter
- Yummy software bokeh.

Why has it taken so long to get rid of these wires? Bluetooth has been around for ages. Now, please can we have wireless charging sorted out before I hang myself with wires.

- is this a joke? SNL skit?chukkaphob
- OH MY GOD - I watched and presumed it was a fanboy vid... it's an actual ad? What the fuck. The marketing has finally gone to pot as well (after a longfadein11

@Georges, I think the idea of using separate lenses to capture different focal depths, and combining them for this, is yes, new to phone cameras..
well nope it's not,
" introducing two very different dual-camera systems that nevertheless signal the direction that the entire industry is about to head in. Apple's iPhone 7 Plus is rumored to be following their lead later this year. One day soon, we’ll look at dual-camera phones the way we think of dual-core devices today: just a logical progression with nothing remarkable about it."
- yep, it's basically all catchup - my note 4 does the depth of field thing perfectly well with one camera anyway lol - and has done so for the past 2 years.fadein11
- That is very cool. I don't know if those dual lens approaches were for the same depth of focus result though. Cool nonetheless.monospaced
- it really weirds me out when year after year apple pretends to be the most innovative brand by just applying technologies other brands have field tested..GeorgesII
- Looks like they just used the second lens for zoom or just higher quality, but if they used it to combine for depth of focus, I haven't seen that.monospaced
- yup... but the power of the brand + uninformed consumer who will never question it = $$$$$fadein11
- Like literally the only reason why you would use a second optic http://www.cnet.com/…GeorgesII
- Cool.monospaced
- I would love to see some paralax experiments though.. shoot both at the same time and such...vaxorcist

Wait for the 10 years iPhone anniversary. A.k.a "iPhone 8"
Made out of steve jobs stem cells.- Or Siri replaced with a Steve Jobs-voiced AI, akin to the ROM constructs in Neuromancer. He can shout at you when you hold the phone wrong.face_melter
- That would be hilarious, Steve Jobs AI that is actually as much of a dick as Steve Jobs.yuekit

Apple make the rules. Everyone else copies. They are the best. Their products are the best.

Have to say this UI is fugly... and those icons ugh. This is/was the kind of thing they nailed but this just looks rushed to me.

For a second I got excited about that white ceramic apple watch, because I do like the apple watch a lot, then found out its the new version of the EDITION and is absurdly expensive. Yay.
- dasmeteor0
- oh please. like those dudes had a choice. they were DRAFTED. stop being so dramatic.CygnusZero4
- my great grandfather was in WW2. he told me none of those dudes wanted any part of going there.CygnusZero4
- ahahadasmeteor
- Well, Cygnus, you can tell your kids you were in the great headphone jack wars of 2016.face_melter
- wait so you cant charge it while listening to music?Al_dizzle
- ^ face_melter -- he can say the same thing is great grandfather told him!mugwart
- @ Al_dizzle no, unless u use wireless headphones.dopepope
- Perhaps their logic is you listen to music on your computer at home. Since you have a copy already... I dunno...pango

The real money maker for Apple here is that anyone wanting to build a product that uses the lighting cable connector will have to pay a license fee to apple.
Think of all the headphone manufacturers, credit card readers etc.
- or just sell them with an adapterfadein11
- listening or charging, you have to choose.ApeRobot
- was hoping they'd release that cheap looking dongle that had bothjaylarson
- Lightning Dock looks like the only solution now to listen and charge simultaneously (if wired) http://www.apple.com…jaylarson
- yup, eek out every last cent!formed
- and an arm—take it, i have two!jaylarson

I wonder if this means apple will be removing the headphone jack on the upcoming Macbook pro...
- the upcoming what?section_014
- Their mobile-first approach would indicate that all future mobile devices including laptops, ipads, etc. will lose it.
Adapt or die, I guess?!ideaist - I doubt it - too many pro musicians use macbook pros - that may be going too far right nowfadein11
- I guess maybe the macbook air would be the line where they'll really focus on wireless?
Agreed @ fadein11.ideaist - Macbook Air is probably gone in the future. I could see them doing it with the Macbook since they already sacrificed the other ports.yuekit

lack of any meaningful innovation for over 3 iterations of the iphone... and now they tax using your own headphones... talk about locking in an ecosystem.
- they've NEVER innovated. LOL! Always "borrowed" ...*cough* steal!chukkaphob

I don't get it. Most wireless headphones cost $149+.
(excluding amazon/groupon $15 chinese shits)Bose : $150.
JayBird: $200.
Beats: $149.
Sony: $199.
Panasonic: $99/$199.
JBL: $99.
Plantronics: $129.Someone explain to me how Apples are 'way overpriced'.
- I think the perception is that they are just wireless version of previous Apple earbud headphones...not sure if true or not.yuekit
- Almost all those listed are over ear rather than earbud, so better sound quality.yuekit
- earbuds are 1/5th the pricedrgs
- lol - as if these are phone earbud headphones...fadein11
- the nerve of bose and beats daring to charge over $5 for anything they make is laughableMiguex
- All these in ear...ArmandoEstrada

Easiest solution: don't like it? Don't buy it.
- Otherwise you're an enabler!pango
- Do not buy,...does not computeyuekit
- no. I must hate on it. Gives pleasure hating on Apple!chukkaphob
