Here it is: @halidecamera 1.11 unlocks a really solid Portrait Mode for *everything* on the XR. I love the iPhone XR, and it's really nice to be able to take beautiful portrait shots of my (also single-camera, space grey) cat or other cool things.

Update: Apple has approved Halide 1.11 and it's available right now. Enjoy! https://t.co/TxlGDq41kF — Halide (@halidecamera) October 30th, 2018

To shoot doggos and objects in portrait mode, simply tap on Depth within the app. That will create "depth maps" for the photos you take, which Halide will then run through its custom blur to get a bokeh, making the image look like it was taken by the more expensive iPhone XS. Halide admits that the app might still produce shots of a lower quality than what dual-camera iPhones can produce. But if you want to take some nice portrait-style photos of anything that isn't human with an XR, the app sounds like it's worth a try.
