Apple iOS 13.2 brings Deep Fusion and more to iPhone 11

After releasing a series of incremental firmware to patch bugs in the iPhones, Apple has rolled out a big iOS 13.2 update, which brings major features to eligible iPhones.

The new software's size and features will vary according to the type of the iPhone. For the latest iPhone 11 Pro, the iOS 13.2 weighs 587.2MB.

Some of the new things coming in the new iOS 13.2 include Deep Fusion camera (only for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max series), ability to adjust video resolution & frame with the camera app, new sound for haptic touch, 50 plus new emoji and more.

Also, if the iPhones don't upgrade to the new iOS 13.2, they won't be able to support the recently launched AirPods Pro earphones.

Unlike the Night mode or Portrait, there won't be any separate tab or option for the Deep Fusion. Ios 13.2 will integrate the feature right into the camera app and optimise the photography hardware.

Before the user taps the shutter button, the iPhone would have already taken multiple photos with different exposure levels and do pixel-by-pixel analysis with the picture taken by the user. With the help of machine learning, it will de-noise, fine-tune the image by identifying multiple aspects such as skies, walls, textures and other finer details such as hair or fur, even a wool fabric on the sweater to get best possible images with sharp details of the subject and surrounding environment in medium to low light conditions.

It can be noted that the aforementioned process will be carried in out in seconds if not fewer thanks to the powerful third-generation neural engine of the A13 Bionic chipset. This is why Deep Fusion feature is limited to the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and the 11 Pro Max.
