The iPhone SE offers a lot of things for the money, but a powerful portrait mode is not one of them. Like the iPhone XR, you’re stuck with taking portrait photos of people if you use the default camera app, a problem at a time when you’re supposed to avoid most human contact. However, you won’t have to settle for single shots if you’re willing to get third-party tools. Halide (who also rescued the iPhone XR) has updated its flagship camera app and Specter long exposure app to allow portrait mode shots for all objects, not just humans. If you want bokeh for your pet photos and flower close-ups, it should be all you need.
Halide Camera and Specter apps cost $ 6 and $ 3 respectively. That’s a bargain, though, compared to wasting the extra $ 300 it would take to get an iPhone 11 with native portrait shots, and it offers a variety of manual controls and features that won’t go out of the box with any iPhone. Think of this as a way to take mobile photography seriously without splurging on a high-end device.
