Pay attention to the start of Henry's hairline near his temples - Deep Fusion attacks this region with more precision than the iPhone 11 Pro would otherwise be able to. However, when you look at his face instead, the difference is actually quite stark.

(The take with Deep Fusion on looks a tad sharper to my eye, though that could very well be the placebo effect at work.) The strong contrast between the white and black fabric makes it difficult to determine what detail, if any, Deep Fusion is lending to Henry's sweater here, even at 100% zoom.

Casey donned his favorite composition book-themed knitwear to pose for a second test. We know Apple loves its sweaters - it is getting to be sweater weather after all - so Tom's Guide's Henry T. It's just that you have to know where to look to understand what it's doing and why it's important. That's not to say Deep Fusion isn't a great asset to have - far from it. The thing is, I'm not sure I would have really noticed the differences if I didn't pinch to zoom in very closely. His skin and facial hair are sharper as well, while the highlights striking his face from the studio lamps appear brighter. We had to crop 100% into both images to highlight the granularity Deep Fusion added to the inside of Rami's hoodie and red shirt.

Take, for example, the photos of my colleague Rami Tabari you see above.
