The best thing from Apple’s keynote will be available on older iPhones completely free – I just saved $1199!

The most exciting announcement from Apple's recent keynote seems to be the enhanced Photographic Styles feature, which will be available for free on older iPhone models. This feature introduces texture and grain controls to the existing photographic styles, giving users more creative options for their images. While Apple claims this addition will provide better night shots, indoor portraits, and sharper landscapes, some skepticism exists about the physical benefits of a variable aperture lens on a small iPhone sensor.

Regardless, the added flexibility in photo editing is likely to be appreciated by those who enjoy experimenting with their images. The new Photographic Styles functionality will be accessible on all iPhone 17 models and further back to the iPhone 16 range, starting with the release of iOS 27 on September 14th.
