The advanced camera system with A13 Bionic brings you Portrait mode, which artfully blurs the background to put the focus on your subject — even when you’re taking selfies.
Depth Control. A simple slider lets you blur the background as much or as little as you like — before or after you take the photo.
Portrait Lighting. Choose from six studio‑quality effects, then adjust the lighting intensity to show your subject in the best possible light.
Let there be light. And shadow. And contour.
Next‑generation Smart HDR knows a face when it sees one, and intelligently relights it to capture more natural-looking contours and skin tones. It also finesses highlight and shadow detail in the background. So every part of your photo looks amazing.
4K video means you’ll see four times more detail than in 1080p HD video. And extended dynamic range adds greater detail in highlights and shadows.
QuickTake. When a photo op turns into a video op, you can instantly start recording video by just holding the shutter.
Touch ID lets you securely unlock your iPhone and sign in to apps instantly. You can even use it with Apple Pay to grab a coffee, get a yoga app, or shop for sneakers online.
