Deep Fusion is the iPhone’s take on AI photography

[ad_1] As Schiller explained, when you’re about to take an image with the new iPhone 11 Pro, the camera will snap 8 images before you press the shutter.

Apple’s tracking tags will reportedly use ultra-wideband for precision

[ad_1] As with any communication protocol, the limitation of this new standard is that both devices need to feature the tech. According to a previous report from Kuo, all three 2019 iPhones will feature UWB. Unfortunately, that leaves out all current iPhone owners.
