iOS 10.1 beta update brings better RAM and portrait mode read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/1109-ios-10-1-beta-update-brings-better-ram-and-portrait-mode

The tests performed on the new iPhone suggested that the extra 1 GB doesn't make an outstanding difference in the overall phone performance. While some might think 'the more RAM, the better' is true, it didn't seem to matter so much in the context of iPhone 7 Plus.

What's more confusing is that early speed tests between iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus showed no real advantage in a 1 GB RAM difference. Some reports said that, the increase of RAM is due to the extra processing needed for the dual camera.

However, this should imply that whenever the camera is not in use, the extra RAM would be repurposed for other tasks. Reports suggest that Apple will master this RAM repurposing once the iOS 10.1 is launched and it seems that the beta version has already worked on this issue.

Based on the beta tests, apps had saved way often and cuts the wait time when a user switches back to the app.

Another feature that created an entire hype around the update is the portrait mode. In this mode, users won't need DSLR cameras just to get a bokeh background effect. The person is separated from the background, which also gives a narrow "field of focus" when it comes to the subject of the portrait.

The nine-layer map is generated using a 56mm lens when capturing the image. This depth mapping uses the technology for the Apple-acquired company LiNx to gather data that the image processor can use to create a 3D terrain map of the surroundings.

While iOS 10.1 is still in beta and there is virtually no clear guarantee of what will and won't make the final cut, it's definitely a change for the better among iPhone 7 plus users.
