Other than under-the-hood tweaks and behind-the-scene changes, portrait camera mode is perhaps the most significant change in the iOS 10.1 beta 1. Portrait mode is a software feature meant for Apple iPhone 7 Plus that the company showed off during its iPhone 7 launch that creates a ‘bokeh’ effect.

Portrait Mode: Apple has brought the highly-anticipated Portrait Mode to the stock Camera app for iPhone 7 Plus owners. With Portrait Mode, users will be able to get a shallow depth-of-field shot, similar to what’s available on a DSLR. It will put the main image in focus, while the background will have a slight blur.

Here is an example of what a picture that was taken in Portrait mode looks like:
