No simulation: Phorus actually uses both rear lenses at the same time to produce a natural parallax. • Simultaneous stereo capture (iPhone 11 and later) • Adjustable wiggle (rate, direction, grain) • Modular film pipeline: frozen grain, halation, film presets • Export to MP4, MOV or GIF • Local-only library — your photos stay on device
