  - Good news is that, now you can use Focos to take portrait pictures with the rear single camera or front TrueDepth camera on iPhone XR and ignore the face detection. The rear camera on iPhone XR uses sub-pixel to calculate the object distance, and generates the depth data with lower resolution and accuracy than what dual camera does. Although the depth quality of rear camera is poor, it is still available. So if you plan to buy an iPhone XR, you can use this app without any issue.
