Understanding spatial photos on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I’m clueless about

HOW it works?

WHAT is the biggest difference between a photo and spatial photo?

WHERE and WHEN and WHO?????

I honestly don’t understand. Even after reading discussions and forums…I don’t understand

Spatial photos and videos are showing the scene three dimensional.

When we view them with an Vision Pro we are seeing a nice depth effect.


We can now take spatial photos and videos with our iPhone, but we cannot see the depth effect directly on the iPhone, only when viewing them on a device that can present spatial images and videos.

They need more storage than a standard photo and video. And as soon as we try to add adjustments or crop the item, the depth effect will be lost. On a Mac or on an iPhone we will be seeing the spatial items tagged with the badge "spatial".
