| How to use Portrait Mode on an older iPhone Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:06 PM PST ![]()
It’s no surprise that blur and bokeh effect apps have been available for practically as long as the iPhone has been in existence, but when Apple launched the iPhone 7 Plus with Portrait Mode first in 2016 – which creates a faux depth-of-field so your photos look more like DSLR quality – and then came out with the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X a year later, developers have focused more on, well, focusing. It wasn’t just the back camera, too: with the introduction of the iPhone X, users were soon able to snap portrait mode self-portraits, changing the selfie game forever. Now that the Portrait Mode phenomena has had a few years to bubble and blossom, it’s time to take a peek at how someone who might not actually have access to all of these phenomenal features could still get in on the fun. Here’s how to use Portrait Mode on an older iPhone! Best apps for shooting in Portrait Mode on an older iPhoneFabFocus
FabFocus is a dedicated background blur effects app that has a lot of options. You can adjust the bokeh shape and blur amount and even add mask feathering to create a more realistic depth effect, instead of that weirdly isolated object look that some apps have. FabFocus uses facial recognition technology to create an automatic blur effect around the spot it identified as a face. If it doesn’t find a face, it recommends you manually mask the object. It isn’t perfect, but you can also manually adjust the masking after the initial effect, which makes it a lot easier to quickly add the finishing touches. The masking brush sits about a half-inch above where your finger rests, which I’m not a fan of, but I understand why it’s useful. You can’t pinch-to-zoom, but you can double-tap the screen to zoom into a specific area and double-tap again to zoom out. I didn’t think I liked FabFocus at first, but once I started playing around with the advanced blur editing features, I realized it’s actually the best one of the bunch. If you want a lot of manual adjustments to fine-tune the style of depth effect your pictures achieve, get FabFocus for your iPhone. Patch: Smart Portrait Editor
Patch is great for automagically creating the background blur, no matter what the object is (it doesn’t have to be a face). It pretty much never gets it exactly right, but you can mask out the parts that you do or don’t want blurred after it automatically applies the effect. You can adjust the size of the brush, and can pinch-to-zoom and get really close, which is a huge bonus for masking those tiny little areas. You can even play around with your lighting. There are five different levels of blur, so you can go wild, making a single image really pop, or you can tone it down for that perfect depth effect look. There aren’t very many options, other than adjusting the level of blur intensity – you can’t even take a photo from within the app – but it is the best at automatically blurring the background of all of the apps I’ve used. Not perfect, but better at it than the rest. If you don’t want to do much work to get the Fauxtrait mode look, Patch makes it the easiest, while still looking pretty good. AfterFocus
AfterFocus has a unique masking mechanism. Instead of “painting” a mask inside of an object, you draw a line around the subject of your photo. Then, you draw a second line, creating the background. You can fine-tune any mistakes by adding more lines to a specific area. You can then use either a lens blur or motion blur to create a different effect, depending on what look you want to achieve. You can also adjust the type of blur used by selecting a different aperture. Finalize the photo by adding a filter or vignette. You can even add stickers and markups, if that’s your bag. I’m not a fan of the masking mechanism. I found it difficult to use when I was trying to work with details. You can’t cross the foreground and background lines, so I struggled to fit between two objects that I wanted to mask. I love the variety of blur and aperture options. Even though I couldn’t mask the objects quite the way I wanted, I was able to achieve a really good looking depth effect by adjusting the aperture and adding a filter. If you prefer a loose background blur, but also want a lot of features and options, AfterFocus gets it right. Depth Effects
Depth Effects is a dedicated background blur effect app with a handful of tools and features that make it stand out. The most interesting feature is that you can manually apply stronger blur effects to different areas of a picture. When masking, increase or decrease the brush opacity to change the strength of the effect. I love this feature because it makes it so you can gradually blur the subject of your picture, instead of having it pop out like a cookie-cutter. Feathering effects help with blur lines, but Depth Effects gives you control over what areas should have more or less blur. It also includes a handful of glare and flare effects, which frankly are the best I’ve ever seen, and some filters so you can change the look of your picture. With Depth Effects, you can alter the amount and style of the overall blur, adjust the aperture, and even play around with the RGB shift for even more effects. If you want manual control over when, where, and how much blur effect is used to mask out your subject when creating depth effect, you’ll love Depth Effects’ tools. Honorable mentionsI’ve listed the photo editing apps that I think best produce the depth effect of Portrait Mode on iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone X. These are a few others that didn’t make my best list, but are great photo editing apps, just the same. Fabby – Free – This funny little selfie app has a weird bokeh effect. I’m not too keen on it, but some might appreciate the fact that you can smooth the face and blur the background in one blow. Big Lens – $0.99 – The tools are a little clunky and it doesn’t do a whole lot. It’s good, but just not good enough to be at the top. Bokeh Lens – $0.99 – BokehLens is very simple to use, but it is not updated for iOS 10, so it does not belong with the big dogs. Tadaa SLR – $3.99 – I used to use Tadaa SLR a lot, it has a fantastic automatic masking feature that works really well, but it hasn’t been updated for iOS 10, so doesn’t get full props. Best apps that let you edit Portrait Mode photosFocos
Simply put, the app does everything Portrait Mode on your iPhone does, plus a little bit more. Through the apps settings, you can add a grid, to your photo, apply the app for your front-facing camera (if you have an iPhone 8 Plus or an iPhone X), the chance to save your original photo automatically, and a slew of EXIF data options like the ability to svae your GPS location, the photographer’s name, and copyright info.
Focos also lets users save their photos in 1536 x 2048, 2160 x 2880, and 3024 x 2032 sizes, and gives users access to in-app purchases like Max Curve which is a professional photo editor which works mainly with the curve edit function, and ColorBurn which gives you access to 1,000 filters for your portrait photography. Once you have your settings in order, it’s as simple as shooting with Portrait Mode on your camera app — but the real magic doesn’t happen until after your portrait photo is taken. Using Focos, you can adjust the final photos aperture and diaphragm (to make sure that blur is juuust right), adjust highlights, saturation, softness, and so, so much more. You can even select and isolate the back bokeh and front bokeh of your Focos portrait and adjust individual color levels, sharpness, and blurring effects to tweak into perfection. When you’re done with editing your final portrait photo, save it to your camera roll and post it on your social media like the true iPhoneography pro you are! Slør
If you’re looking for a simple, straightforward app to edit, tweak, and perfect your Portrait Mode photos, then check out Slør in all its Portrait Mode editing glory! Using the app, you can adjust your Portrait photo’s aperture, radial, and tilt, perfecting and sharpening all of your Portrait Mode images. Then you hit save, allow the app to modify the original photo, and you’re good to go! Unfortunately Slør isn’t an app that you can shoot Portrait Mode photos with, only edit them, so you’ll have to shoot your Portrait Mode images with your original camera app and them upload them into Slør to edit. Anamorphic
If you’re looking for an app that’ll help you shoot and edit your Portrait Mode photos in a quick snap, then it might be worth it to take a peek at Anamorphic.
Not only can you shoot and edit your Portrait Mode photos straight from the app, but Anamorphic offers up a complete collection of color gradings to give you a classic film look, true depth of field, and the ability to capture your photos with depth data. TLDR; Anamorphic is a wonderful Portrait editing and shooting app that’ll cost you $2.99. infltr
Not only is infltr an app that lets you shoot and edit your photos in Portrait Mode, but you can also edit videos, Live Photos, and GIFs (so if the $1.99 price tag scared you before, don’t worry — you’ll be getting your money’s worth!). With the latest updates in regards to the ability to shoot in Portrait Mode, infltr decided it would allow users to switch and swap between foreground and background in depth effect photos to make separate edits to the two layers.
You can shoot and edit your Portrait Mode photos with infltr, so you don’t need to constantly be switching between your camera app and infltr for editing. Fun Fact: Did you know infltr is short for infinite filters? Best app for Portrait Lighting on older iPhonesPhocus: Portrait Mode Editor
While there aren’t a ton of Portrait Mode editing apps that target Portrait Lighting specifically, Phocus: Portrait Mode Editor allows you to tweak and edit your lighting effortlessly.
While fixing Portrait Lighting with Phocus, you can choose to either edit with Stage Lighting that brings you to the foreground with your own colors, or Mono Lighting that’ll help you achieve the perfect black and white photography. Oh, and when you upload your creations to social media, don’t forget to use the hashtag #phocusportraitlighting. Portrait Mode vs. knock-off Portrait Mode
I tested both Depth Effects and Patch against the iPhone 8 Plus’s Portrait Mode. I must admit, I was surprised at how good the two apps performed. Other than my own minor painting errors, the depth effect looked nearly as good as the effect in Portrait Mode. One thing I like about using the apps over using Portrait Mode on the iPhone 8 Plus is that you don’t have to set up the shot so meticulously. When taking a picture with the iPhone 8 Plus, you have to be a certain distance away and the lighting has to be good. Using Depth Effects or Patch, you can take an action shot in the dark from very close range and still be able to produce depth effect. The thing that makes Portrait mode on an iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X better than using an effects app is that all you have to do is take the picture and the software produces a near-perfect background blur that you don’t have to put any work into. It is much easier to use, which is great because, it’s not that often that I feel like sitting down to paint a picture after I’ve taken a snapshot. In the end, I prefer using Portrait Mode on the iPhone 8 Plus to using an app, but if you don’t have this particular model, Depth Effects and Patch are good alternatives. I prefer Patch over Depth Effects simply because I love how it automatically renders the background blur. Even though you still have to fix some of the masking errors, it works fairly well. Some may prefer having the options available in Depth Effects, though. There are more tools and more customizations available. What do you think?Are you a big fan or portrait mode? Do you prefer to shoot portraits with your iPhone X, iPhone 7 Plus, or your iPhone 8 Plus? Let us know what you think in the comments below — and don’t forget to tag #iMore on your portrait mode snapshots so we can see how close you are to masterin’ the mode!

| Here’s what you need to know about the WhatsApp group chat security flaw Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:06 PM PST A lot of talk went down yesterday about a new way to exploit WhatsApp and bypass the end-to-end encryption the company likes to mention that it has whenever it can. I’ve seen tweets and comments that run the gamut from “it’s FUD” to talking about some backdoor that Facebook had installed. The good news is that it’s neither. In fact, it’s not really one of those things you need to be concerned about and instead is one of those things that make you wonder how it ever happened in the first place because it’s pretty sloppy. But don’t worry — it will be fixed long before anything happens. What it isResearchers Paul Rösler, Christian Mainka, and Jörg Schwenk at Ruhr-Universität in Bochum, Germany released a research paper (.pdf link) that found a peculiar flaw in WhatsApp’s group chat administration. WhatsApp offers the same end-to-end encryption for group chats that it does for individual chats, and that usually means we should be able to feel safe in knowing that the things we say won’t be read by anyone who shouldn’t be reading it unless one of the group members lets it happen. Apparently, it’s theoretically possible for a stranger to add themselves to a group chat on WhatsApp. “Theoretically” and “possible” being the key words here. I’ll explain.
In a WhatsApp group chat one or more of the original members is an administrator. From the server’s point of view, that means that these people are able to add and remove people from the group. Everything is good so far, even though the way it works — an administrator sends a signal to every member of the group with his or her signing keys and in return, each member sends a return message with their signing keys then the originator of the message notifies each member that there is now a new person in the group — is a bit of a kludge in order to create a good user interface. If you’re not an administrator, the only thing you know is that you see a message that Jerry is now a member of the group. You can either accept that or leave the chat.
The problem is that WhatsApp isn’t properly authenticating these group management requests on its own servers. A WhatsApp server needs to properly ID the sender of a message that would add a person to a group chat. The person sends a message that IDs both the group and the member it wishes to add and the server checks to make sure the person who sent it is actually a chat administrator. These messages aren’t end-to-end encrypted, and instead use standard transport encryption — the message coming from a chat administrator and going to a server that requests a user be added to a chat is not signed by the sender with their encryption key. This means a WhatsApp server can add any user it wants to any group, at any time. The server can, not another user. That’s important, and it means any privacy expected in a WhatsApp group chat depends solely on trusting the WhatsApp chat server. That defeats the entire purpose of end-to-end encryption, which is designed so that privacy is guaranteed even if a server is compromised because only the sender and recipient can decrypt a message. And then the internet loses its collective mind because that’s what the internet is really good at doing. This won’t happen but still needs fixingThe only way this flaw can be exploited is by someone with access to the server doing it. That means a server gets compromised, or an employee goes rogue, or a three-letter government agency files a warrant. Any of those things could happen, might have happened in the past, and could even be happening right now. But one other thing needs to be considered — you’ll know if it happens to your chat.
The first thing that a server does after a member is added is notify every other member of the group that “Jerry was added to the chat.” You will see the message telling you someone was added, and so will everyone else. When Jerry arrives to the private chat party with his bad jokes and cheap beer, and nobody invited him, that’s going to be a sign that something’s wrong and nobody should consider anything they are about to type as private. Pack up and move to another chat without Jerry and maybe even a different service that won’t let him crash. So nobody is going to be able to secretly check out your encrypted group chat, but this still undermines end-to-end encryption in every possible way. It needs to be fixed right away, and maybe even the whole group management method needs to be revamped. At the bare minimum, we all need to scratch our heads and wonder how something like this slips by programmers and code auditors. It’s a ridiculous premise that will never be exploited, but still. What you need to doNothing, really. Appreciate the work done by Rösler, Mainka, and Schwenk in finding this flaw because security researching is a thankless and often mind-numbing job, but past that you don’t really need to change your routine at all. A method of authenticating the request to add a member to an encrypted group chat will be sorted out by the folks who keep WhatsApp’s wheels spinning shortly and this will change from a flaw that will never be exploited to a flaw that can no longer be exploited at all. What’s important is that you were paying attention, because the next flaw might very well be one that does need action on your part. And there will be another flaw, so make sure you keep paying attention.

Coiling comfortably around your wrist like a stylish leather snake, the Apple Watch Hermès Double Tour is elegantly unique, modern, and eye-catching; however, it’s also quite expensive at $490, which puts it outside of most people’s budgets.

Not only is this band highly-rated and super affordable for a fraction of the cost of the real Mccoy at around $20, but the V-Moro Double Tour Leather Band comes in a bunch of fun patterns and colors that don’t make the band look cheap, but rather like a high-end designer limited-edition release of certain patterns and styles (think what Louis Vuitton x Supreme are doing right now).

The Katrice is made of sturdy leather and has thick stitching for an edgier, more modern look, but still resembles the fashion-forward elegance of the Hermès Double Tour. Made only for the 38mm version of the Apple Watch, the Kartice, shown here in blue, is available in other funky colors and also in a quilted leather pattern if you want to step outside the box a little. OleksynPrannyk Double Tour Apple Watch Band
For something wildly different – while still looking similar to the Hermès Double Tour – the OleksynPrannyk Double Tour Watch Band is handmade and available for both the 38 and 42mm versions of the Apple Watch for around $90. Made from genuine Dublin leather from the Horween Tannery in Chicago, Illinois, it has a soft, refined feel and look.

| Apple Releases iOS 11.2.5 Beta 5 to Registered Developers Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:06 PM PST For proper use of this site, you need to enable javascript in your browser! ![]() Apple’s Software January 11, 2018 For the second time this week, Apple has released an iOS beta version. Registered developers can now download iOS 11.2.5 beta 5 over-the-air or through Apple's Developer Center. We'll let you know if we find any new features in the new beta. But more than likely, because of the version number, iOS 11.2.5 focus on smaller bug fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. So far, the only notable new feature is that Siri will play news-oriented podcasts when asking about current events. On Monday, Apple released iOS 11.2.2 to the general public. The software offers a number of improvements to mitigate the "Spectre" vulnerability that was first publicized last week.

| Apple Delays iPhone 6 Plus Battery Replacement Program Until Spring Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:06 PM PST ![]() If you own an iPhone 6 Plus and were hoping to take advantage of Apple's $29 battery replacement program, you're out of luck for now. Apple has delayed the program for the 2014 iPhone Plus due to limited supply. According to internal documents, iPhone 6 Plus battery replacements are in short supply until late March or early April in the United States and other regions. Battery replacements for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s Plus are also delayed, but only by approximately two weeks. Replacement batteries for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone SE are available without extended delays in most countries. As previously noted, Apple dropped the price for replacement batteries from $79 to $29 throughout 2018. Additionally, a future iOS app update will better inform you about the battery condition of your device. Replacement batteries (with installation) are available at Apple retail stores and online support channels. In early December, a report claimed that Apple intentionally slows down older iPhones in the iPhone 6/6s range with batteries that need to be replaced. Soon after a class action lawsuit was filed against the company. This led Apple to announce a temporary price cut for iPhone replacement batteries. The company also apologized for how it has handled performance on iPhones with older batteries and how it has "communicated that process" to the public. According to "A Message to Our Customers," Apple explained:
Should you replace your battery? If you think the battery on your iPhone is performing poorly, you should certainly get it replaced. Otherwise, it is probably best to wait and see how things work out over the next few months. Besides, the battery discount is good through the end of the year so you have nothing to lose.

| Star Wars: Rivals is a PvP Game, Pre-Registration Available on Google Play Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST ![]() There is no shortage of Star Wars things these days, especially games, and it looks like we're getting yet another one for Android very soon. Now up for pre-registration on Google Play, Star Wars: Rivals is a PvP title, all about ducking behind cover, moving to better positions, and blowing away your enemies. The idea behind the game seems to be reimagining and reliving classic Star Wars battles. For example, you'll experience Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker, Jyn Erso against Director Krennic, as well as Finn vs. Captain Phasma. Of course, these legendary characters will have to be unlocked through hours of gameplay most likely, but the gameplay trailer makes it look like a fun grind. As the description goes, players will build combat teams, join guilds, level up weapons and abilities, use faction bonuses, plus more. As soon as this game officially launches, we'll let you know.

| CBS All Access app updated with support for continuous play, resume watching, and more Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:04 PM PST Use of CBS All Access has probably ticked up a bit now that Star Trek: Discovery is back. Subscribers are getting a solid update today that adds some important (and surprisingly basic) features. In the latest version, you can binge watch more easily and pick up where you left off. Here’s the changelog for the new All Access update. Several items on the list appear to describe the same feature. We now support continuous play!
So, you can now watch one episode after another without messing around with the app controls. We can’t show you a screenshot because the app blocks those, but the gist is you get a countdown and thumbnail preview of the next episode. This is something Netflix, Hulu, and others have done for ages. Better late than never, I suppose. In addition, you can resume watching previous shows where you left off. Again, how wasn’t this a thing before? You can give All Access a shot for free if you want. After the trial period, it’s $5.99 per month with ads. If you want ad-free, that’s $9.99. Note, there’s an All Access app for Android TV as well as a CBS app (with the same features) for phones. Make sure you check the right one.
