Is there a single useful Apple iOS camera capability that isn't already on
Android?

The question was posed today on the iOS newsgroup, where nobody on that
newsgroup knows cameras well enough to find a *single* useful Apple iOS
phone camera functionality that isn't already on Android.

Even Savageduck, an avowed digital expert, hasn't named a single one.

It's a valid question, especially since most iOS users seem to blindly
assume there must be something, anything, that the Apple iOS phone cameras
can do that Android phone cameras don't already do.

Nospam named two but both are already on Android:
1. portrait mode -- already on Android
2. optical zoom -- already on Android

It's a fair digital photo question, especially since many people blindly
assume that what the Apple Marketing Machine tells them is truth.

Is there a single useful Apple iOS camera capability that isn't already on
Android?

How does it work?
"It uses technology from LiNx, a company Apple acquired, to create
data the image processor can use to craft a 3D terrain map of its
surroundings."

"There is no zooming, digital or otherwise, in Portrait mode.
Instead, the Portrait mode exclusively uses the 56mm lens to shoot
the image and the wide angle lens to gather the depth data that
allows it to generate a 9-layer map."

"The Google Camera app achieves this effect by creating a 3D map
of the scene while you're moving your phone, which allows it to
know which objects are closer to or further from the lens.
*This is the same way the iPhone 7 Plus works*, but it creates
the 3D map on the fly, whereas Google Camera does it after
you've taken a shot."
