Ios 12.1 could end beautygate

Since Apple introduced the new iPhone XS, XS Max, and iPhone XR, and since early journalists and bloggers were able to personally test the new devices, the rumor that a possible beauty mode has been incorporated (and hidden) by Apple has exploded.. However, it's actually about the way the new 2018 iPhones handle images. This fact has been called by the media as BeautyGate , and could have its days numbered.

Apple plans to end BeautyGate

What we call BeautyGate emerged with greater force when users of the iPhone XS and XS Max began to state that selfies taken with their devices were applying a skin smoothing effect that is commonly known as "beauty mode" in such a way that The photos were very different from those obtained with an iPhone X or another previous model. Recall that all three terminals from 2018 feature a 12MP wide-angle main camera (in addition, the XS and XS Max models also feature a telephoto lens), as well as exactly the same TrueDepth camera system on the front.

Now, after a review of the iPhone XR (whose official launch will take place next Friday), the website The Verge indicates that Apple is planning to address the issue of 'BeautyGate' in the upcoming iOS 12.1, which is currently being tested by developers and public beta testers.

The iPhone XR (object of The Verge review) has the “Smart HDR” system. Basically it consists of the iPhone taking several photographs with different levels of exposure, reducing the noise of the images and consequently causing a "smoothing effect" on the final image that can even be "artificial". And this is precisely what Apple would address in the next update of the operating system.

Apple told me that the upcoming iOS 12.1 update, currently in public beta, will address the issue of the front camera that appears to soften the skin by selecting a sharper base frame for Smart HDR, but I have not yet been able to test it.. " (Nilay Patel, The Verge)
