So i've upgraded to the Max and it is great, but I was thinking about this - the XR is going to do software portrait mode using the same wide angle camera as on the Xs/Max. The Xs/Max only allow portrait mode at 50mm, presumably using both cameras.
Since the camera hardware is supposedly the same, why isn't portrait mode selectable for 1x/2x zoom on the Xs/Max? Is the XR going to crop the sensor to a 50mm view to give the same shot? Do you think they'll update the software when the XR comes out to allow this on the Xs/Max? I know it will be lower quality depth mapping, but it would still be nice to have the option and flexibility since the phone has the two cameras already.
