【Dear Utol: Week 1 Highlights Episode 7】

The new capability is a boon for iPhone users without the latest models. Users who have anything but an iPhone with an "X" in its name now have a great reason to install a Google app on their iPhone.

See, even though iPhone users have been able to take portrait mode shots since the 7 came out, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus models and below don't include depth editing features in the iOS Photos app. Depth editing is actually a fairly recent feature for iPhones, and is only available on iPhone X and above.

The fact that iPhone 7 or 8 users can depth edit their photos — just not within an Apple product — is not the greatest look, especially when it is Apple rival Google that's offering the technological upgrade.

Google has already made blur and focus editing for portraits available on Pixel 2 and 3, and on some Moto phones, according to Engadget.

So the choice is yours, photo-edit-loving iPhone users: pay between $750 - $1,499 to get a new iPhone capability of depth editing.

Or, download an app.
