iPhone XR portrait stage light

In the below link, there is a video on "How to shoot with stage light mono" and that is rear camera video. And i see that it shows iPhone XR too. And people have experienced stage light mono in one of the 12.1.x updates. So understand the question. When people have experienced Stage light portrait effects on iPhone XR and the results were also good, then why not XR get Stage light effect?

I know that in the specification it shows only three effects on the rear. But when the phone is capable to capture stage light mono. why XR can't have it?

When we are buying a phone worth $700+ and we need the maximum what it can do and not the minimum it can do right?

I need a some proper explanation and also is it possible that it may be available in future with ios 13?

We do not know that.

But it's always a great idea to suggest it to them: Apple - Feedback

Yes but what about the availability of the stage light options that were available during ios 12.1.x version? and it worked pretty well on it.

A guy also posted that it was a glitch. check the video below. The results were really good.

And in this video it can be seen that iphone dual lens doesn't require a dual lens as it can detect a person on an iPad and create a depth map around the person and create a portrait image.

Are there answers for these?

Looks like a bug in the first video cause you can see that he is taking a picture in a Natural Light mode at 1:30.

Second video is not correct. Stage Light requires a second camera, because when you are taking portraits on dual-lens phones, they shoot portraits on a second lens only. So his iPhone XS Max is in a portrait mode on his screen recording.

Looks like so, but I totally understand why Apple fixed this bug and didn't allow users to shoot portraits in these two modes on iPhone XR. Apple doesn't really like when features that are provided to a customer are not bringing great results. On iPhone XR without a second lens they will be unpredictable, this is why they removed it.

Speaking of XS Max, it still detects a human, I believe.
