Smile, you’re in Portrait mode

The advanced camera system with A13 Bionic brings you Portrait mode, which artfully blurs the background to put the focus on your subject – even when you’re taking selfies.

Depth Control

A simple slider lets you blur the background as much or as little as you like – before or after you take the photo.

Portrait Lighting

Choose from six studio quality effects, then adjust the lighting intensity to show your subject in the best possible light.

Let there be light. And shadow. And contour

Next‑generation Smart HDR knows a face when it sees one, and intelligently relights it to capture more natural-looking contours and skin tones. It also finesses highlight and shadow detail in the background. So every part of your photo looks amazing.

Very High definition video

4K video means you’ll see four times more detail than in 1080p HD video. And extended dynamic range adds greater detail in highlights and shadows.

QuickTake

When a photo op turns into a video op, you can instantly start recording video by just holding the shutter.

Home sweet Home button

Touch ID lets you securely unlock your iPhone and sign in to apps instantly. You can even use it with Apple Pay to grab a coffee, get a yoga app or shop for trainers online. All without reaching for your credit card.

True Tone

Dynamically adjusts white balance on the display so images look natural and are easier on your eyes.

Haptic Touch

Press and hold an icon for shortcuts and a slight vibration makes it feel like you’re pressing a real, physical button.

Augmented reality

Run the latest AR apps that let you measure real‑world objects, map constellations over the stars and more.

Stereo audio recording

The Apple iPhone SE records videos in stereo to make the sound as engaging as the picture.
