iOS 10.1 now available for download, includes Portrait Camera for iPhone 7 Plus

After being tested with a few beta releases, Apple today unleashed iOS 10.1 to the public.

iOS 10.1 is now available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. If you’ve got an iOS 10-compatible device, you can install iOS 10.1 by going into Settings > General > Software Update or by plugging your device into your computer and updating through iTunes.

The highlight feature of iOS 10.1 is Portrait Camera, which is only available on the iPhone 7 Plus. When you use Portrait Mode, the iPhone 7 Plus will apply a depth effect to your photo by blurring the background, giving it a bokeh look. Apple does note that this feature is still in beta, though.
