One of the main reasons that I upgraded from an iPhone X to an iPhone 13 Pro in 2021 was for the camera.

But it was Cinematic Mode that sealed the purchase for me.For those unaware, Cinematic Mode can record a video as normal but blurs out objects and people, letting the main subject thrive in all its glory. It’s almost like Portrait Mode, a feature present since the iPhone 7 Plus, but for video.Granted, while it’s…
