The other woman says, "Did you bokeh, my child?" The whole idea here is to promote the editing skills the iPhone offers. users will be able to dial back the bokeh effect and make it a normal picture. This is also a jab at other Android phones who have started offering this feature where the blur can be adjusted.

Besides showcasing the camera features of the current generation iPhones, Apple might also be planning to launch a foldable iPhone in the future. At least that's what the latest patent filing from the company suggests.
