The new iPhone XS doesn’t hit store shelves until the end of this week, but travel photographer Austin Mann got his hands on one early and has been shooting in Zanzibar to test the new and improved camera features and capabilities.



The iPhone XS and XS Max feature 12MP Dual Cameras on the rear, a 7MP TrueDepth front camera, 4K video, Smart HDR (more highlight and shadow detail), and bokeh/depth control (a slider for adjust depth of field after you shoot).

Here’s an exclusive photo gallery that provides a first look at the iPhone XS’s real-world photo performance (captions are by Mann).

You can find higher-resolution versions of these photos in this Flickr album.
