I will detail below what the iOS 14.3 update brings new to iPhones:
Apple ProRAW 3f1z1b
During the launch of the iPhone 12 models, Apple took a few minutes to talk about the new ProRAW image format, which would reach iPhone 12 Pro e Pro Max until the end of 2020. The iOS 14.3 update delivers on that promise.
ProRAW is a format that combines the capabilities of computer photography from Apple with the versatility of RAW format for photo editing. This feature is more geared towards those with intermediate and advanced photography skills, as the RAW format is used by aspiring photographers and professional photographers.
The advantage of this format is that the image data is stored without any kind of processing, which exponentially increases the level of detail you can edit in photos in programs like Adobe's Lightroom and the Photos application itself, which is already installed on iPhones by default.
In practice, the new format combines this versatility with the Deep Fusion (technology that uses machine learning to remove noise and improve the level of detail) and the Smart HDR (feature that improves image lighting and colors), which are the computational photography features present in the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max. To activate this new format, go to: Settings > Camera > Formats > enable Apple ProRAW.
