The Evolution of iPhone: From Steve Jobs' Vision to the iPhone 15 Pro
The newly released iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro fulfill a vision for photography that Steve Jobs had over a decade ago. These devices can capture depth data from photos with people or pets, allowing users to adjust the focus after the shot. This concept was reportedly on Jobs' radar before his death in 2011. The iPhone 15 goes beyond previous models by automatically capturing depth data when a person, cat, or dog is detected in the shot, eliminating the need for Portrait mode. This realization of Jobs' vision reflects his interest in the Lytro light field camera, which allowed for post-editing of focus.
