All the improvements and upgrades Apple made to the cameras on the three new iPhones (AAPL)
Apple
Apple announced its new iPhones on Wednesday and used up a decent chunk of its presentation talking about the cameras.
As you'd expect, Apple says the cameras in the new iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max are better than previous iPhones.
Much like last year's devices, the cameras on each of the new iPhones are all 12 megapixels, but they have some under-the-hood improvements both on a software and hardware level that could potentially add truth to Apple claims.
We'll have to check for ourselves when we get our hands on the devices, but for now, here are the improvements and updates Apple has made to the cameras in all of the new iPhones.
Check it out:
All three new iPhones have Apple's new Smart HDR camera feature.

With Smart HDR, nine photos with different exposures and settings are taken the moment you press the shutter button. Apple's A12 chip inside the new iPhones analyzes these nine frames and combines the best parts of each frame into a single photo.
There's seemingly a lot going on when a photo is taken with Smart HDR, but Apple claims it's done instantaneously, with "zero shutter lag."
This feature is available on the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.

The ability to adjust the blur in the background has been added to all three phones.
In Portrait mode on both the rear and selfie cameras, you'll be able to adjust the amount of "bokeh" — the blurry background effect you'll often see in professional photos — after a photo is taken.
Apple's Phil Schiller claimed the iPhone is the first smartphone to have this ability, but that's not the case. Samsung's recent Galaxy smartphones already had this feature, where you can adjust the background blur on photos after snapping them.
This feature is available on the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.
All the cameras are now better in low light.

The camera sensor in the regular wide angle lens — but not the 2x telephoto lens — has deeper and larger pixels to capture more light, which should lead to better low-light shots.
This feature is available on the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.
