Apple managed to bring the 5x to the regular size pro after all… shocker
Please just fix the weird over-processing software issues.
My girlfriend has the Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra, I have the iPhone 15 Pro, & it is absolutely bananas how much better her camera is, especially for night photography. She can take a full-frame photo of the moon & it’s clean, with detail. When I try, it looks like it could be a light bulb or a golf ball.
Apple has some work to do.
I’m pretty sure Samsung ran into some controversy for using AI to fake moon pictures. They essentially see that you are trying to take a picture of the moon and just overlay a moon texture on top of the image.
You are getting downvoted because the Samsung is not taking a picture of a moon. It’s taking the picture of a white circle that vaguely resembles the moon and then uses AI algorithms to recreate the moon in the shot. It’s not exactly replacing the moon with a high res image off the internet, but it’s only a few steps away from that.
Samsung fakes the moon photos with AI, they got caught a while ago.

This will be the phone to replace my iPhone 12 Mini.
I’m in the same position. I’m been asking for a new mini for ages. If it doesn’t, I think I’ll bite the bullet and upgrade to the Pro next year
I really want that 5x camera. If I didn’t, I could have upgraded early.
I will miss the 3x lens a lot. It’s by far the best for detailed pictures of small things. The 0.5 distorts angles if you get close for macro mode and the 1x cant get close enough without blurring the image.
I’d rather they just gave the 1x lens macro ability so we could get those shots at full 48mp resolution.
Ya, I would way rather a 3x with the sensor the size of the 1x and an increase to the maximum aperture
FWIW I don’t miss it at all.
Me neither lol. It had little use due to the small sensor size and not taking in enough light. Now, if they put the large sensor on the telephoto…
At this point I really don’t care. It’s a point and shoot. If I really wanted to get a better photo if get a camera out
I just want them to include both lenses.
It’s so dumb, I can’t for the life of me decide between Pro and Pro Max. The quality between 3x and 4.9x is terrible on the PM, but of course it maxes out a lot later. I don’t want to think about which shots I’m taking more of, I want to be versatile. And I can’t decide whether I want to miss out on zooming 10x with it still looking okay-ish, or whether I want the intermediate range to be less lossy. I’d even give up the wide angle for that, who even needs that?
Just please, give us the 3x and 5x (or potentially more if they do upgrade it) in the same phone and you’ll have my money.
I’d even give up the wide angle for that, who even needs that?
Those of us who like to photograph stuff like landscapes and architecture. And it’s also super useful for video being the most stable lens and not needing to look at your phone when recording - it’s the only one I use for stuff like snowboarding.
Yeah, I’ve shot tons of reels for clients using the ultrawide as the primary lens. So who even needs it? Probably people actually using the cameras for work, also known as “pros.” Lol
Alright, I take it back.
I just have bad experiences with ultrawides, because the people in my sports club always film in ultrawide, saying “it looks better”, and it really annoys me because you end up seeing NOTHING of the subject, but instead you can see the floor and roof and 3 of the 4 walls in that gigantic hall. And on top of that, the sensor is worse now too.
Maybe finally a worth replacement for 11 Pro
I’m having a tough time getting rid of my 11 pro max.

Woah - how does this compare to Samsung / Pixel flagship cameras?
I don’t care about camera
When will people stop using stupid zoom designations for focal lengths? There’s no such thing as „5x zoom” for a prime lens ffs
I like shooting with the 4.2 mm f/1.6 lens of my iPhone 12 mini. But I find less use for the 1.54 mm f/2.4 lens.
Don’t care, chilling with 8+
👍
Here, I think you were looking for a thumbs up or something
Tell me about the sensor upgrades, babeeee.
Don’t love that choice. 3x zoom for me and probably a lot of people hits almost the perfect portrait focal length—77mm ff eq. This is as close as any phone gets to 85mm, a very popular choice for portraits. The 0.5x, 1x, 5x combo on the 15PM makes ~2.5-4.9x pictures look awful. It’s the reason I chose a 15 pro over the max.
Hopefully by the time I’m ready to upgrade again they figure out that a gaping hole from a wide shot to a tight telephoto is pointless for anyone who isn’t just pointing at far away things going ooooh aaaaah zoooooom. Samsung fixes it by having a 3x and 10x.
And I also hope they fix the shitty minimum focus distance on the main camera. You have to be way too far from an object to require a switch to the 0.5x…quality really suffers unless you’re practically touching the thing you’re photographing. It’s the biggest letdown compared to my old S22+.
is pointless for anyone who isn’t just pointing at far away things going ooooh aaaaah zoooooom.
That’s like most of the iPhone’s audience. More X’es means more better
I honestly don’t want 5x. I very very rarely shoot further than 3x… and a 5x zoom lense means that 3x zoom picture is going to worse quality.
If only Apple implemented variable zoom like Sony’s phone
