7 super tips for the ideal selfie

Do you always feel like you look your clumsiest and ugliest in photos when you take a selfie? That is now a thing of the past, because I have gathered some amazing tips for you.

1. The perfect selfie case

Everyone perks up with a good light on their face. This perfect selfie case has a rim of lights that beautifully illuminates your face from all angles, preventing any ugly shadows (or bags and other woes).

2. Retina Flash

On the Retina HD display, you can see your content, but it is now also a flash for your FaceTime HD camera. When you take a selfie, a preflash checks the light around you. Then a True Tone flash on the display ensures you get the best light, where colors appear at their best and skin tones look their most flattering.

3. Timer mode

When you take a group shot with your FaceTime camera, you can set the timer so everyone has their eyes open and is smiling at the right moment. You can set the timer for 3 seconds or 10 seconds, depending on what your group needs.

5. Time-lapse selfie

Apple has introduced new stabilization in Time-lapse, giving you a beautiful, steady video. Also fun as an alternative to the selfie: a short Time-lapse video. It does really well on your Instagram, bet?

6. Just press

Are your arms often too short to press the button? You already know that you can press the volume button on the side. But did you know you can use your earbuds to take the photo?

7. Automatic selfies album

All your selfies will now be automatically organized by your phone into a selfies album. How cute is that from the friends at Apple?
