The new camera options will join the other features Apple will reportedly highlight at WWDC 2026: performance improvements and AI . The biggest change Apple is making to the Camera app is to make it more customizable. Rather than being stuck with the company's predetermined interface for shooting photos and capturing videos, you'll reportedly be able to tweak it to your liking. The app will reportedly also include more advanced options like controls for depth-of-field, exposure and the company's photo styles feature. Apple offers a theoretically easy way to tweak these settings on the iPhone by using the Camera Control button, but changing things from the touchscreen should be even easier.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Our smartphones have transformed the way we take photos and videos and our relationship to these digital memories. Most of us will snap at least some pictures and clips every day with the gadget that's always close at hand. If you want to get more creative with photos on your phone, you can. Sometimes you're going to want to take a picture remotely, without your phone in your hand and your finger over the shutter button--maybe you're taking a wide shot of a large group, or you want to capture a lot of your surroundings.

There's a Japanese word, komorebi, that describes beams of light and dappled shadows that result when the sun shines through trees. When I take my dog on walks around my leafy neighborhood in Washington, D.C., komorebi is what most often catches my eye, especially in this autumnal moment when dense, green summer foliage is starting to thin and turn golden. As the sun sets and the shadows grow long on the edge of a precipitous valley near my apartment, the foliage creates fluttering patterns of warm and cool colors. I try to photograph these apparitions with my iPhone camera, but I'm always disappointed in the results: the device's automated image processing treats contrast as a problem to be solved, aggressively darkening the highlights and lightening up the shadows to achieve a bland flatness. Little of the lambent atmosphere I see in real life survives in the image.

Apple fans are revelling in one of their favourite occasions of the year – the announcement of a new iPhone. The iPhone 16 unveiled last night features new AI capabilities, camera upgrades plus a boost in battery life, available in a range of colours. But it is surely the arrival of a brand new button on the edge of the device that is getting people most excited. The capture button needs to be pressed once to bring up the camera app to take photos and even delivers haptic feedback, much like a video game controller. Commentators have called the nifty selfie shortcut'incredible' and the'coolest feature ever', but other fans are sharing concerns that it won't work with a case.

Every family and friendship group has that one person who is always the designated photographer. If that's you, you'll be happy to hear that the days of missing out on being in group photos are finally a thing of the past. Google's Pixel 9 smartphones go on sale this week, and there's one new tool that people can't wait to try - Add Me. As the name suggests, Add Me allows photographers to add themselves into group snaps, using artificial intelligence (AI). Ahead of its release tomorrow, Google sent MailOnline's Shivali Best the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL so she could try Add Me for herself - with hilarious results.

Microsoft has been filling up Windows builds with questionably necessary add-on programs for decades, and for just as long, power users have been stripping them out. Some have gone so far as to create custom installation media with trimmed-down builds. But in an upcoming Windows 11 release, you won't need to go to such drastic lengths, at least for some of the most common occupants of the cutting room floor. A new Windows Insider build lets users remove more default apps without any third-party tools. In particular, Canary build 25931 lets users uninstall the default Windows programs Camera, Photos, People, and the Remote Desktop Client via the default uninstall interface in Settings, as well as the recently decommissioned Cortana virtual assistant.

Mobile technology has been revolutionized with the recent incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI). Nowadays, you can do many different things on your phone ranging from sending texts while you're driving to reading emails at the grocery store. There are so many ways AI has changed mobile life for the better: ordering groceries from home and taking care of important tasks during lunch breaks. This article describes how AI transforms mobile technology. AI refers to a computer's ability to perform tasks normally associated with human intelligence.

If you'd asked me 5 years ago if I thought a smartphone would ever be able to capture a decent image of the Milky Way my answer would have been a resounding no. With tiny sensors and small lenses that aren't capable of guiding much light onto the sensor there's no way they're ever going to be much use in such low-light conditions, right? Well, ask me the same question today and my answer would be a lot different. By using techniques such as stacking multiple images for noise reduction, or using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the image's look, smartphones are becoming scarily capable of producing decent astrophotographs. I asked my followers on Instagram to send in their smartphone astrophotography and I was blown away!

Core Image is a powerful API built into Cocoa Touch. However, it often gets overlooked. In this tutorial, we're going to examine Core Image's face detection features and how to make use of this technology in your own iOS apps! Face detection in iOS has been around since the days of iOS 5 (circa 2011) but it is often overlooked. The facial detection API allows developers to not only detect faces, but also check those faces for particular properties such as if a smile is present or if the person is blinking. First, we're going to explore Core Image's face detection technology by creating a simple app that recognizes a face in a photo and highlights it with a box.

As a misanthrope living in a vibrant city, I'm never short of things to complain about. And in particular the problem of people crowding into my photos, whatever I happen to shoot, is a persistent one. That won't be an issue any more with Bye Bye Camera, an app that simply removes any humans from photos you take. It's an art project, though a practical one (art can be practical!), The collective, in particular the artist damjanski, has worked on a variety of playful takes on the digital era, such as a CAPTCHA that excludes humans, and setting up a dialogue between two Google conversational agents.
