Apple's iPhone 7 Camera Uses Machine Learning to Look for People

While Apple may consider itself "courageous" for forcing consumers to buy 159 new air pods, "game-changing" might be a better description for the iPhone 7's camera, which keynote speaker Phil Schiller called the "best camera on any iPhone." "This truly is a supercomputer for photos," Schiller said at Apple's "Special Event" on Wednesday at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. "This is really really big in terms of image quality. But behind it all is the brains of the camera, the image signal processor," he said. "The first thing it does is read the scene and uses to machine learning to look for objects and people and bodies within it," Schiller said.
