The major new feature in the software is Portrait mode for iPhone 7 Plus users. Demonstrated at the special media event in September, the feature will automatically blur out the background while keeping the subject of the photo in focus. The look is also known as the bokeh effect.

We’ll let you know if we find any notable new features in this version of the software.

With Apple apparently introducing new Macs during a special media event next week on Thursday, Oct. 27, the software could make its official debut soon.
