Everyone is Photographer with iPhone 7 Plus
Back in September 2016 when Apple introduced iPhone 7 to the world during its keynote, Apple showed a picture where in the end Tim Cook — Apple CEO — said the picture was taken directly from its iPhone 7 Plus and not any DSLR camera.
Trying not to sound like an Apple fanboy, I have to admit myself that whatever Tim Cook and team was telling on stage is indeed true. With iPhone 7 Plus, everyone is a photographer — not amateur but they can be considered the pro one. Let’s take a look at the photo results here.
Disclaimer: All photos below are taken from iPhone 7 Plus — unedited except giving my name tag on them. Just in case you don’t know, there’s no complicated settings on iPhone 7 Plus to take these pictures. It’s just the shutter button. Both photos, standard and portrait mode, are taken in 1 shot that produced both the standard and portrait mode results — there’s a setting for it (check below for details).

The Verdict
After looking at those pictures, what do you think? Do you think I’m a professional photographer? Well, I am not! I’m just a normal guy who doesn’t have photography knowledge and intentionally own an Apple 2016–2017 masterpiece: the iPhone 7 Plus. Check here for other things you can do with iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Good job Apple and Tim Cook!

How to take photos with Portrait Mode
The steps is super simple :)
- Make sure you have iPhone 7 Plus
- Open the Camera, on top of the shutter button, find “Portrait”
- First time using it, it will tell you that it’s still in beta
- Follow the instruction which basically the picture must be taken from certain distance in order to create the bokeh effect alias “blur background”
- Tap that shutter button to take the picture
That’s it.
How to take photos and get both Standard and Portrait Mode
By default your iPhone 7 Plus will produce both image: standard and portrait mode. Just in case it doesn’t, here are the steps, again simple:
- Go to Settings > Photos & Camera
- Scroll down until you find “PORTRAIT MODE”
- Make sure “Keep Normal Photo” turned on
And that’s it!
