After the launch of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, several users pointed that the device applied some sort of a smoothening effect on the selfies. Soon the “BeautyGate” term was coined, accusing Apple of applying a beauty filter for enhanced selfies. Traditionally, beauty filters smooth the skin for better-looking selfies. However, this isn’t always true. The claims saw an upward traction over the past few weeks. However, YouTuber Jonathon Morrison had different plans with tricking users into thinking that the selfies he posted on social networking platforms were taken from the Google Pixel 2. The reality, however, was different. Let’s see some more details on it.

The BeautyGate claims were put to a test by Jonathon Morrison as he posted a series of selfies on Instagram and Twitter over the weekend. The caption of the photos suggested that they were shot on by the Google Pixel 2’s Portrait Mode. Furthermore, the YouTuber asked his fans to share their thoughts on how the images came out to be and if they were better than the latest iPhone XS.
