"When using Portrait mode, ‌iOS 16‌ lets you blur objects that are in the foreground of a photo for a more realistic depth-of-field effect, rather than just allowing for the adjustment of background blur," MacRumors reported.

According to the report, In Cinematic mode, blur quality has also improved. Apple said that when recording videos in Cinematic mode, the depth-of-field effect is now more accurate for profile angles and around the edges of hair and glasses. These two new camera features are exclusive to Apple's ‌iPhone 13‌ lineup at the current time, but the iPhone 14 is also likely to support these additions.
