"bokeh" refers to the specific blur that out-of-focus stuff has. it isn't depth-of-field or "background out of focus, foreground in focus" (that's just called shallow depth-of-field).

different lenses have different bokeh qualities, depending on stuff like how many blades the aperture has. if out of focus stuff looks hexagon-ish with your lens, it's because the aperture only has 6 blades.

bokeh is hard to fake (especially in real time) because it isn't just a "normal" blur like a box or gaussian blur. with a normal blur, bright objects get blended into their surrounding objects and become less bright, whereas in real photography, bright objects that are out of focus appear to expand. the best post-processing bokeh effects also simulate aperture blades and stuff like that.

the iphone+ models and now the pixel 2 try to simulate shallow depth of field by adding fake bokeh. devices with two cameras will be able to do a better job of it, because they'll be able to build a depth map. but the requirement that it be real-time or close to real-time means that the effect still isn't that convincing, and without a really accurate depth map (which you can't get with cameras only a centimeter apart) there are a lot of situations where the fake shallow depth of field effect just falls over completely.

by "real bokeh" do you mean "have stuff be out of focus"? then yes. shallow depth of field? not for anything that isn't really close to the lens.

“my iPhone is tooootally slower after the new iOS update :supaburn: Apple is loving us again :argh: planned obsolescence!!! :argh:

meanwhile android phones stop getting updates within a few months of release (18 months if you’re lucky) and often the hardware physically stops working within a year.

“broken” implies the calculator app gives the wrong results for what the user entered or something. the button fade out animation is a little bit too long is all. I use it almost every day and never encountered this oversight until The Internet pointed it out. and there’s nothing stopping you from installing pcalc or calcbot.

the bluetooth/wifi “disable” in control center is the correct thing for 95% of users 95% of the time. open the settings app and turn them off for real on the rare occasion the actual radios need to be turned off.

iOS doesn’t need app launchers or 3rd party control centers or any of that dumb android poo poo

This mobile OS duopoly sure is awesome

don't they make home cellular hotspots that give you cellular service via your broadband connection or some damned thing? look into getting one of those.
