ProRaw Support

iOS 14.3 brings the new ProRAW format to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Max. ProRAW is designed for those who prefer to shoot in RAW but also want to take advantage of the Apple image pipeline data like noise reduction and multiframe exposure adjustments.

ProRaw can be enabled in the Camera section of the Settings app for those who have installed the iOS 14.3 beta on a new ‌iPhone 12 Pro‌ or Pro Max. When activated, there’s a RAW toggle in the upper right side of the camera app that can be tapped to turn it off or on.

ProRaw photos are approximately 25MB in size, so the feature may need to be used sparingly if ‌iPhone‌ storage space is an issue. ProRAW photos can be edited in the Photos app.

Other Camera Additions

There’s now an option to record video at 25 frames per second, plus there’s a new option to mirror the front-facing camera for still photos on ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 6s, ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 6s Plus, iPhone SE, ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 7, ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 7 Plus, ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 8, ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 8 Plus, and ‌‌iPhone‌‌ X. This feature was already enabled on newer devices.

Siri Sounds

Siri in iOS 14 is able to replicate all manner of sounds, from animals to alarms, musical instruments, and more. You can ask ‌‌Siri‌‌ questions like “what does a humpback whale sound like?” or “what does a lion sound like?” to have ‌‌Siri‌‌ play the sound of a whale or a lion.

Apple added hundreds of different sounds, and on ‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌,

‌‌Siri‌‌ will also display a picture of the animal or device and then link to more information from Wikipedia after playing the sound.

Home Screen Shortcuts

iOS 14.3 makes it easier and quicker to launch apps with custom icons from the Home Screen. When opening an app that has a custom icon created using Shortcuts,

it is no longer routed through the Shortcuts app and is instead able to open much more quickly. There’s still a banner that pops up, but it’s a more streamlined experience than before.
