The new iOS 11 software update for iPhone users includes some innovative features that really enhance your photo taking. These options are available on most models from the iPhone 6 to the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/Products\/851\/Details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPhone 8<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/Products\/857\/Details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPhone 8 Plus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/Products\/863\/Details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPhone X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, Apple has introduced a new \u201chigh efficiency\u201d storage format that they say will allow you to store twice as many photos. Called HEIF, it is capable of compressing images twice as efficiently as the commonly used JPEG format, without sacrificing image quality. As an example, a photo that was 1.2MB using JPEG would be around 891KB in HEIF.<\/p>\n<p>Live Photos, a feature discussed earlier in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/blog\/blend-images-motion-live-photos-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog<\/a>, is a unique way to blend your photos into short, moving images by capturing a few frames of video before and after you press the shutter button. In the latest update, it\u2019s added even more creative options. The \u201cLoop\u201d feature replays the Live Photo you\u2019ve created, adding a brief transition before each new loop begins. \u201cBounce\u201d plays the video forward, then backward. And \u201cLong Exposure\u201d creates a blurred background, similar to what you can do with a DSLR camera. Editing Live Photos has also been made simpler, and includes options to crop, add filters, mute sound, and more.<\/p>\n<p>iOS11 includes new facial recognition technology, which will make it quicker to find and sort photos by person using the \u201cPeople\u201d section of your Gallery app. Plus, once you\u2019ve found the picture you\u2019re looking for, there are a host of new built-in filters you can use to give your photos a distinctive look, including \u2018Vivid\u2019, \u2018Dramatic\u2019, and \u2018Silvertone\u2019 settings.<\/p>\n<p>So, iPhone users, go ahead and indulge your inner shutterbug! You\u2019ll be delighted with the creative freedom you\u2019ll find from these latest update, not to mention the ability to take and store even more photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your iPhone camera just got even more fun!
