Photographer showcases upcoming Portrait mode using Apple's iPhone 7 Plus at wedding
It's not a Gaussian blur. Additionally, bokeh is the out of focus area of a photograph. It doesn't have to have any specific feature (like a certain iris pattern), those are just aspects of bokeh that can vary.volcan said:
I wish people would stop calling Portrait mode "bokeh" because it is not. It is just a blurred background. Bokeh is different. It has individual convolution areas and swirls not just a Gaussian blur. I have to admit the masking capability is impressive. If I could get the masking feature alone without the blur, it would be helpful in compositing work.
That picture of the bride and groom together looks terrible.
Apple's implementation is not a Gaussian blur, and it takes into account distance from the in-focus plane. It most certainly is (simulated) bokeh.

Google's Project Fi comes to data-only devices, including Apple's iPad Air 2 & iPad mini 4
That's exactly what Apple did. Unlimited data on AT&T, no contract phones with no carrier baggage, logos, malware, software update limbo, model fragmentation...Prof_Peabody said:I have to give Google credit, this actually has the potential to do what everyone thought Apple would do with the iPhone, which is to actually change the mobile marketplace so as to benefit the users instead of just the corporations. Apple, with all their fancy devices have done nothing to break the stranglehold cell providers have over us. Nothing to lower data prices to a reasonable level.
You're thinking of Google, who kowtows to the carriers. That's why they are doing this and Apple doesn't have to. Apple created the Apple SIM so that you can choose and switch carriers even more easily.
