Compared: AirPods 4 vs AirPods 3 -- Pro-grade budget audio
The issue is that APP2 are regularly on sale for $189. If you can get that deal, it's a no-brainer for anyone who finds the ear tips comfortable. I agree that the AP4 are an across-the-board upgrade from the AP3, but the AP3 never made much sense unless you got them for a significant discount. For my personal use, I need the best ANC possible, so never had any interest in regular AirPods but I bought the Pros as soon as I could afford them and now use APP2 daily. -
iPhone 17 cameras may get variable aperture for better bokeh
Professional photographer here, chiming in to say StationGrey is correct. There's a reason this hasn't happened yet, and it's because iPhone sensors are so small that getting better bokeh would require an insane max aperture. Being able to close the aperture further will only increase depth of field, so you'll have even less out of focus area when the aperture is smaller. Creating bokeh requires a fast (wide) aperture and a larger sensor, and enhancing it typically involves increasing the number of aperture blades (odd numbers are best) and making them smoother at the edges so the opening is as close to perfectly circular as possible. -
