iPhone 13 to Get Video Portrait Mode, ProRes Support, Enhanced Filter System, More [Report]

Apple's new iPhone 13 will feature Portrait Mode for video, ProRes support, an enhanced filter system, and other improvements, according to a Bloomberg report.

Portrait mode for video is being dubbed Cinematic Video internally. It will create a depth effect that puts the subject in sharp focus while blurring the background. Users will be able to change the amount of blur after recording.

For professional users, a new ProRes recording format will allow for video capture in high-quality. ProRes will be supported in HD and 4K resolutions.


Additionally, Apple will allow users to apply styles or looks to their photos. Unlike regular filters, the feature will use artificial intelligence to precisely apply changes to objects and people.

Users will be able to choose from several styles to apply to their photos, including one for showing colors at either a warmer or cooler temperature while keeping whites neutral. Another option will add a more dramatic look with deeper shadows and more contrast, and the company is planning a more balanced style for showing shadows and true-to-life colors with a brighter appearance.

Other changes for the iPhone 13 that we've previously reported on include a faster A15 chip, smaller notch, and faster refresh rates. The new iPhones are codenamed D16, D17, D63 and D64.
