Faketastic: Your smartphone photos are totally fake — and you love it

”At night for the past few weeks, I’ve been tromping around dark places taking photos using a new mode on Google’s $800 Pixel 3 called Night Sight. Friends in a candlelit bar look like they brought a lighting crew. Dark streets are flush with reds and greens. A midnight cityscape lights up as though it were late afternoon.

AnandTech reviews Apple’s iPhone Xs and Xs Max: The best phones that Apple has ever released

”2018 has been an odd year for the smartphone market as more than ever before we saw the competition try to react and also mimic the iPhone X – the design language especially has been something that we saw replicated across a lot of various designs,” Andrei Frumusanu writes for AnandTech. “Instead of iterating on the design, Apple has stayed true to its “S” generation release tradition and…

Digital Photography Review: Apple’s iPhone XS/Max is a leap forward in computational photography

”Aside from folks who still shoot film, almost nobody uses the term ‘digital photography’ anymore – it’s simply ‘photography,’ just as we don’t keep our food in an ‘electric refrigerator,'” Jeff Carlson writes for Digital Photography Review. “Given the changes in the camera system in Apple’s latest iPhone models, we’re headed down a path where the term ‘computational photography’ will also just…

[cfsp key=”getamac.jpg”]”With last year’s iPhone X, Apple introduced the most significant redesign to the iPhone since the iPhone 4. All three of the phones Apple announced this fall—the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR—are modeled after that blueprint,” Samuel Axon writes for Ars Technica.

“That means near-edge-to-edge displays. It also means they have the TrueDepth sensor array, which…

Engadget reviews Apple’s iPhone Xs and Xs Max: These are fantastic smartphones

”When Apple introduced the iPhone X last year, it didn’t just release a new phone — it presented a new vision of what iPhones should be.
