• iOS 18.1 beta 4 allows iPhone 15 Pro users to shoot spatial photos, which they can view using an Apple Vision Pro.
• The feature relies on the vertical alignment of the rear camera lenses and will work with all iPhone 16 models.
• The latest iOS 18.1 beta also includes the software additions Apple first introduced with the iOS 18 Release Candidate.

Last year, Apple introduced spatial video recording on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, allowing users to shoot immersive clips they can watch on their Vision Pro headsets. With iOS 18.1 beta 4, the company is now expanding spatial capture support to include images, too. While the Vision Pro can already display regular shots in 3D, using the dedicated spatial photo mode should output better results.

iOS 18.1 beta 4 includes a new Spatial Mode tab in the built-in Camera app. Visiting it reveals a toggle that allows users to switch between spatial photo and spatial video capture. It’s worth noting that to use Spatial Mode, you have to hold your compatible iPhone in landscape orientation. This enables the rear lenses to capture the necessary depth data to produce spatial media.
