Why does the background of photos printed with the Xiaomi Portable Photo Printer Pro appear different from how they look on an iPhone?

Here are the reasons why photos printed with the Xiaomi Portable Photo Printer Pro can look different from how they appear on an iPhone:
  1. Photos taken without using the iPhone’s portrait mode will have clear, sharp backgrounds. When printed, these backgrounds remain clear, unlike the blurred backgrounds seen on the phone’s screen when portrait mode is enabled;
  2. If the portrait mode effect, meaning the background blur, is applied after the photo is taken, the iPhone shows a digitally blurred background. However, the printer prints the original image without this blur, causing a noticeable difference;
  3. The iPhone screen uses active light and can display effects and depth differently, while printed photos reflect passive light and cannot reproduce digital blurring or effects precisely.
