The 7 most egregious fibs Apple told about the iPhone XS camera

Apple always drops a few whoppers at its events, and the iPhone XS announcement today was no exception. And nowhere were they more blatant than in the introduction of the devices’ “new” camera features. No one doubts that iPhones take great pictures, so why bother lying about it? My guess is they can’t help themselves.
To be clear, I have no doubt they made some great updates to make a good camera better. But whatever those improvements are, they were overshadowed today by the breathless hype that was frequently questionable and occasionally just plain wrong. Now, to fill this article out I had to get a bit pedantic, but honestly, some of these are pretty egregious.
- “The world’s most popular camera”
- “Remarkable new dual camera system”
- “2x faster sensor… for better image quality”
- “What it does that is entirely new is connect together the ISP with that neural engine, to use them together.”
- “We have a brand new feature we call smart HDR.”
- “This is what you’re not supposed to do, right, shooting a photo into the sun, because you’re gonna blow out the exposure.”
- “You can adjust the depth of field… this has not been possible in photography of any type of camera.”

By that standard, Samsung would almost certainly be ahead, since it would be allowed to count all its Galaxy phones going back a decade as well, and they’ve definitely outsold Apple in that time.
Have they though?
The best selling Galaxy so far was the S4, and it sold 80 million units. The best selling iPhone so far is the 6/6+ which sold 220 million units. Even with all of the different variations of the Galaxy phone i don't see how they can make up that extreme difference.

This is the one that peaked my interest. So are they saying that functionality exists w/ IOS 12 and the X? I don't see it if anyone knows hows to do w/ the X:
“You can adjust the depth of field… this has not been possible in photography of any type of camera.”
"This just isn’t true. You can do this on the Galaxy S9, and it’s being rolled out in Google Photos as well. Lytro was doing something like it years and years ago, if we’re including “any type of camera.” Will this be better? Probably – looks great to me. Has it never been possible ever? Not even close. I feel kind of bad that no one told Phil. He’s out here without the facts."

That last one is a big lie. I have owned a light field camera for at least 6 years that I can change the perspective and depth of field after the picture is taken.
