Overview
- The effect illuminates screen borders and uses the Apple Neural Engine and Image Signal Processor to detect faces and modulate brightness.
- Users toggle it from the video or camera menu during a call, with sliders for brightness and color temperature plus an automatic-on option.
- The on-screen overlay recedes around the pointer and becomes partially transparent so content stays accessible.
- With the built-in camera the effect appears on the built-in display, while external or Continuity Camera setups place it on the primary display.
- Early hands-on testing reports a noticeable benefit in fully dark rooms and minimal change in well-lit environments.
