苹果澄清:纹理与颗粒调节功能仅限于最新款 iPhone 摄像头

Apple’s new texture and grain controls for stylizing photos will be more limited on older phones than initially expected. 苹果公司用于照片风格化的全新纹理(Texture)和颗粒(Grain)调节功能,在旧款手机上的可用性比最初预期的更为有限。

A confusingly worded press release from Apple indicated that the new features, announced alongside the iPhone 18 and 18 Pro earlier this month, would be “available” on older devices like the iPhone 16 and iPhone Air that “support the latest generation of Photographic Styles.” 苹果公司此前发布的一份措辞令人困惑的新闻稿曾暗示,这些在本月初随 iPhone 18 和 18 Pro 一同发布的新功能,将在支持“最新一代摄影风格”的旧款设备(如 iPhone 16 和 iPhone Air)上“可用”。

But it turns out that “available” didn’t mean that older iPhone models would have full access to those new features. 但事实证明,“可用”并不意味着旧款 iPhone 机型能够完全使用这些新功能。

Making texture adjustments to enhance or smooth a subject’s skin and adding film grain will only be an option when those phones are being used to edit shots taken with the latest iPhone models. Apple has since updated recent press releases to state that those controls will only be available for “photos captured on iPhone 18 Pro models and the Ultra Wide, Main, and Center Stage cameras on iPhone Duo.” 只有在使用这些手机编辑由最新款 iPhone 机型拍摄的照片时,才能进行纹理调整(以增强或平滑拍摄对象的皮肤)以及添加胶片颗粒。苹果公司此后更新了近期的新闻稿,明确指出这些调节功能仅适用于“在 iPhone 18 Pro 机型以及 iPhone Duo 的超广角、主摄和人物居中摄像头上拍摄的照片”。

The original version of a September 11th release, which was issued the day before the latest versions of the iPhone and Apple Watches became available for preorder, is still available in its original form on other websites with a footnote specifying that the new “texture and grain controls in Photographic Styles will be available on iOS 27 on iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo.” 9 月 11 日发布的新闻稿原始版本(发布于最新款 iPhone 和 Apple Watch 开启预购的前一天)在其他网站上仍以原样存在,其中脚注明确写道:“摄影风格中的全新纹理和颗粒调节功能,将在运行 iOS 27 的 iPhone 16、iPhone 16 Plus、iPhone 16 Pro、iPhone 16 Pro Max、iPhone 17、iPhone Air、iPhone 17 Pro、iPhone 17 Pro Max、iPhone 18 Pro、iPhone 18 Pro Max 和 iPhone Duo 上可用。”

This limited compatibility was corroborated by a Reddit user who was able to make adjustments to texture and grain on their iPhone 16 Pro Max, but only while editing sample photos taken on an iPhone 18 Pro by photographer Austin Mann who made them available for download on his website. I also had access to those new Photographic Styles controls when editing Mann’s samples on my own iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 27, but they were not available on photos I captured myself. 这种有限的兼容性得到了 Reddit 一位用户的证实:他能够在自己的 iPhone 16 Pro Max 上调整纹理和颗粒,但前提是必须编辑摄影师 Austin Mann 在其网站上提供的 iPhone 18 Pro 样张。当我在运行 iOS 27 的 iPhone 16 Pro 上编辑 Mann 的样张时,我也能使用这些新的摄影风格调节功能,但这些功能在我自己拍摄的照片上却无法使用。

The Verge has reached out to Apple for clarification on how the feature is supposed to work on older phones but did not immediately get a response. 《The Verge》已联系苹果公司,要求其澄清该功能在旧款手机上的具体运作方式,但尚未立即获得回复。
