The Pro versions employ a sophisticated neural engine image processing software system called Deep Fusion, leverage computational photography and can take a series of photos, selecting the best pixels out of each photo and stitching them together into one ideal photograph.
The Pro versions also offer longer battery life of up to four hours more than iPhone XS and five hours more than iPhone XS Max and better 4K video. Preorders start on Friday September 13 at 5 am PDT and ship out September 20. Apple also lowered the prices for older models to $599 for iPhone XR and $449 for the iPhone 8.
