Could you build this?

Partial Building an iOS app UI is straightforward, but running high-resolution (up to 50MP) segmentation and cinematic bokeh rendering entirely on-device requires optimized CoreML models and Metal shaders.

What it would actually take: A developer needs Swift/SwiftUI paired with Apple's CoreML and Vision frameworks or custom neural networks (like MobileNet-based matting models) optimized for the Apple Neural Engine. To process high-res imagery locally without crashing iOS memory limits, tiled processing or custom Metal shaders for depth-of-field bokeh rendering are necessary. Expertise in on-device computer vision performance tuning and GPU image manipulation is required.
