Sorry, but all along iphone camera are not strong. You don't buy a iphone just because you want to take good photos. It's the overall experience of using iphone. Until now, even my oppo X8 is still not as good in SW when compared to my 17pm. You don't need to wait until X300pro or X9pro to release to tell you iphone camera are not strong.

iphone camera does its job well. It's not as sucky as you think. Of cos when compared to X9pro and X300pro it's not as good but taking good photo doesn't mean you need to have a very good phone. The one triggering that button is more important.

There is a iphone photography thread here, you can take a look.

Iphones strength is actually in videography ... UI in the past yes got advantage but that gap has been narrowing since long time ago liao..their camera output also very consistent just not as vivid and pleasant as vivo etc..

Ya, I also find that iPhone pro series videography is much better than photo. Photography is worst if the lighting condition is not ideal.
Used to iOS, so no choice and no intention to upgrade from my 16PM at the moment.
past years I change every year….

I thought they mention all 48MP and using new processors , shouldn’t that be counted as hardware innovate ?

or what should be upgraded which Apple didn’t ? I’m new to Apple but at the same time disappointed with the camera

I do not see how the camera in the iphone pro max can be so disappointing.



He pretty much explained why the iphone camera output is not as poor as the X300 pro.

Not sure what prompted you to switch to iPhone if you are very particular with phone camera standards. For starters, they were never the camera king. Though they are unparalleled when it comes to videography.

It feels like the iPhone is not meant for you and the sooner you end the relationship with Apple, the better. :cool:
