Apple shows off the magic of Portrait Mode in latest videos

Apple's latest videos show off the magic of Portrait Mode on iPhone 7 Plus with adorable, aww-inducing subjects.

Soul Mate

"Soul Mate" features an adorable pupper with its head cocked to the side posing in front of some foliage. Portrait Mode, which uses the dual-camera system of iPhone 7 Plus to create a beautiful depth-of-field effect, helps separate the pooch from the busy foliage behind it.

With a subtly blurred background and an ultra-sharp foreground, the narrator says the pupper goes from "house mate" to "soul mate."

Creek

"Creek" features a child emerging from the water in a creek with foliage, rolling hills, and a blue sky crowding the background. As soon as the iPhone photographer switches on Portrait Mode, though, the background fades to a beautiful blur and the child stands out in the foreground.

The narrator says the photo goes from "fine" (as in "meh") to "fine art." We'd have to agree!
