It's a neat feature but does it ever need so much work.
It looks over processed. I get much better results using a regular photo and then applying filters in CC myself.
It really messes up with flowers. Anything with intricate edges. etc. For novice work where most will be looking at snapshots on a phone screen, etc. it will do. Kind of disappointed at the distance and light requirements as well. Samsung's camera app has had this feature for a while now and it works better. Comparing it to a DSLR with a F1.2 prime is hilarious.

That being said, we are asking a LOT for a phone. If you showed pictures in this thread to someone just five years ago and said they were taken with a smart phone they'd laugh at you or worse. But that's how tech works.

It does have some confusion with hair, flowers, soft edges of objects, etc.
Look at this and how it blurs the background...
IMO, it works very well for being a software blur and not a physical/optical blur (like with a real SLR/DSLR and a nice prime lens)

Portrait mode missing from my camera on iPhone 7 plus

I got my new iPhone 7 plus yesterday, in my camera I have not got the portrait option, only have the original options of photo, square, video etc. The phone is all up to date iOS 10.03. Does anyone have any ideas?

Its only available on the beta iOS10 software as of now. There will be an update to this month that will add it to the OS and then you will have it.

I think this one came out good. The two above show one with depth and one without. They aren't bad but the second one is better.
