iOS 13has been updated at a pretty frenetic pace already, but Apple is marching along with yet another planned update.
This one, like theiOS 13.1update before it, will squash bugs and improve overall performance, but it’s mostly a vehicle to bring a new feature to theiPhone 11,iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro. In this case it’s the camera-focused feature Deep Fusion, which will make the already impressive photos captured by Apple’s newest smartphones even more impressive.
The first developer beta of iOS 13.2 is available now for registered developers. After the appropriate profiles have been installed, the latest software update can be installed over-the-air or directly from Apple’s developer website.
iOS 13.2 will likely include other bug fixes and performance improvements as Apple continues to fine tune the experience for iOS users out in the wild.
However, the hero feature of this software update is Deep Fusion, which was previously detailed in aseparate report. Deep Fusion is a complicated feature that’s meant to work in the background, running through several different tasks while the iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro owner takes photos with their smartphone.
Here’s how the background tasks were described in that earlier report:
The telephoto lens will mostly use Deep Fusion, with the Smart HDR feature only taking over in a shot when there are very bright scenes.
The standard wide angle lens, meanwhile, will rely mostly on the Smart HDR feature for bright to medium-bright scenes, and Deep Fusion will kick in with the medium-to-lowlightscenes.
Finally, the ultra wide lens will never use Deep Fusion or Night Mode, because it only supports the Smart HDR feature, and neither of the other features.
Apple likes to show off Deep Fusion with photo subjects wearing sweaters. you may see an example of a photo captured with the new feature below:
If there are any other discoveries made in this beta of iOS 13.2, we will update this post accordingly.
Apple seeded the corresponding iPadOS 13.2 beta to developers as well.
There is no word on when this latest software will be available to the public, but, hopefully it will be soon.
Update:Apple has also seeded the corresponding public beta of iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 to public beta testers.
