The iPhone 16 series is not all about souped-up camera kit. Thanks to the silicon advancements, it gets a feature that turns even bland frames into art pieces.

What makes a good photo? For the average person, anything with tons of punchy colors and sharp lines that can elicit some envy-filled comments on social media is good enough. A few would argue that you need reality in a picture, perfect or otherwise, and not a saturated, computationally generated mess.

Photographic Styles are the real deal These two phones have a new control pad tied to the Photographic Styles, Apple’s next-gen filter system. It lets you adjust the color and tone of a picture simultaneously, in addition to the strength of the applied palette. Apple says the new styles also gain a deeper understanding of skin undertones.

Unlike a filter, where finer details often go unnoticed, the new Photographic Styles and tone adjustments essentially act like a color lens, leaving users plenty of headroom to play with instead of just adjusting the intensity of a color filter. Apple says the A18 and A18 Pro chips inside the phones are what allow for this new level of control. In hindsight, Photographic Styles is a clever way of dialing back Apple’s aggressive approach to color processing and HDR pipeline.

In my opinion, this whole approach is the most rewarding way to avoid the hassle of post-capture edits and filter work required prior to posting on social platforms like Instagram. Previous Next 1 of 3 Though I’ve never quite tried to chase the standards set by the legend Daido Moriyama, I think monochrome shots have a haunting depth that gives them a storytelling potential you won’t get with a color-saturated shot. Of course, it takes some work to frame and compose the shot — and if you’re willing to go the extra mile, adjusting the exposure and focus — but the results are absolutely worth the effort.

Moreover, if you intend to make heavy edits in post-processing software like Adobe or Darkroom, there is some bad news for you. Capturing in ProRAW format doesn’t support Photographic Styles.
