Phil Schiller, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing took to the stage to offer a preview of Deep Fusion, which he said would arrive on the iPhone 11 via an iOS software update later this fall.
So what is Deep Fusion?
What happens is that even before the shutter is pressed, the iPhone shoots nine images, four long exposures, four short exposures, and uses the neural engine and machine learning to combine these with the image taken when the shutter is pressed to stitch together, “pixel-by-pixel”, a new image with plenty of detail and very little noise.
Schiller called it “computational photography mad science.”
While Apple didn’t specifically mention it, it’s clear that this is the company’s answer to Google’s Night Sight feature.
