You can do it on non 7+ iPhones - but you have to be pretty close to the object you want in focus. Try getting that effect taking a portrait of a person with a non 7+. Let me know how it goes...
Something a little different, will probably end up on my instagram 
This guy makes some really great observations, namely that "...the funny thing about test photos is that there's often nothing worth photographing in them, so you just stare at the problems. In my own testing, whenever I've pointed Portrait Mode at something I actually care about, the results have been solid."
He's got some good test shots on his blog. Worth checking out.

Yep, I'm using Public Beta 2 which was released today.
No you need to select upfront
I can wait a couple of second for an app to process this. I've seen lots of apps on the app store but they are all old apps....almost seems as if apple blocked and stopped apps like this from being approved hmmmm
Apples bokeh effect is both hardware and software. The software part anyone can do. The difference is the software needs to know what to blur. So since the 7plus has two cameras it can see in 3D and there for measure depth. The camera will layer the environment in 9 layers and then decide what to blur.
Overall it's pretty good for software and pretty incredible that it's from a phone. It will never match quality glass from a real camera but we need to remember it's a phone. Of course Apple oversold it a bit, that is what they do with most things.
I think the one thing to remember is there is "bad bokeh" no matter what equipment you use. It still need to be applied when the situation is right and not all shots require it. In fact, many can become worse with it.
Not that it matters since the rumors point to Apple keeping the dual lens system in the plus line and I will never get a plus.
