FWIW my Samsung G5 has had this feature for quite a while. They dont just try to sell a phone/is based on a few lines of code by some bored programmer.
it also can combine a stack of photos to bring everything in focus.

Check these out.
iPhone 7 Plus Portraits
If anyone think the software bokeh render from the iPhone 7 Plus is of DSLR quality, they are out of their minds. Its just looks ridiculous. It literally looks like something I can add myself using photoshop.
I don't know about you..but I find the photos without the fake bokeh a lot more better.

It's kind of like saying the latest smart car on the market makes everything from Toyota to Porsche redundant.
In one way, things are changing. Who looks at your pictures? Where do they see them? Two good questions to ask. The answers in most cases is ''normal, non-photography-critic or gear-experienced people'' and ''their phone or tablet'' I believe it's the case for more and more people now. I think everyone has a border on what they tolerate in terms of the IQ of the gear they use. Other factors too I know but just talking IQ here. I remember getting a used Olympus compact camera that shoots raw a few years back. In its time it was aimed at the enthusiast market and was supposed to compete with dslrs. It was about 600 dollars new. I remember looking at the pictures from it and just thinking they were not good enough. We all have a level of good enough. It has to do with experience and the desire to meet the highest level we know. For some a kit lens is fine but after they try a couple of primes they will probably not want to go back.

Matt Granger just started a new series ....
He says one shouldnt spoil what camera he uses, but there seems to be no spoiler tag in this forum, so I'll have to improvise.
<<<< WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD !!! >>>>
<<<< SPOILER >>>>
Dont read this if you dont want to be spoiled. You've been warned !
And even if I only loaded the video with 320p, I still noticed the image quality wasnt so great, at least in some shots, but confusingly it wasnt consistent either.
Well he uses misinformation. He's not using a specific camera, but a class of cameras. Smartphones.
Specifically he's claiming "todays smartphones can produce better image quality than medium format cameras 15 years ago".
Which is one of the most stupid things I've heard in a long time. Smartphones cannot even match the image quality of medium format cameras 50 years ago, let alone 15 years ago. The friggin photos of Apollo 11 from the moon are far superior in image quality to anything I've seen out of smartphones.
I mean, seriously.
OK, maybe the upcoming multisensor cameras might manage to match the image quality of old film medium format cameras. Not sure about that.

I've seen some scanned negatives that I swear were taken with a full frame DSLR.
Film is no slouch.
A tiny little camera sensor in a phone is not better than medium format film camera.
One thing for certain, the Galaxy Note 7 is one hot camera with a phone attached. Literally

My money says if they just turned everything off except the Phone components then the PHONE would probably work just fine. But then the Millennials would go into vapor lock as they would actually have to have conversations with people instead of texting, sending pictures etc. The horror of it all.
