Apple wants to make it easier for those still undecided to choose to purchase the iPhone X or iPhone 8 Plus. Two new videos showing how one can shoot pictures using Portrait Lighting feature have just been published by Apple.

One of the videos shows how iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X users can edit Portrait Lighting effects on these two smartphones. Both devices come with various effects that one can use to change the way the captured pictures look like: Natural Light, Contour Light, and Stage Light.

However, these are not filters, as Apple claims the effects are capable of real-time analysis thanks to the AI implemented in the camera's chip. Aside from the special effects, the camera should not capture shots slightly faster than on the other iPhones.

The iPhone X will go on pre-order on October 27, but Apple's flagship won't hit the shelves until November 3. Even so, there won't be too many iPhone X units available for purchase next early next month, but the situation will improve at the start of 2018.
