Put as much zoom as you want the picture still looks like crap if the lighting is not perfect.
Maybe finally a worth replacement for 11 Pro
I’m having a tough time getting rid of my 11 pro max.
I’m having a tough time getting rid of my 11 pro max.
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.

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.
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 don’t care about camera
Tell me about the sensor upgrades, babeeee.
Don’t care, chilling with 8+
👍
Here, I think you were looking for a thumbs up or something
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.
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…
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.
Woah - how does this compare to Samsung / Pixel flagship cameras?
Please just fix the weird over-processing software issues.
Not having a quality 3x-5x is a real bad decision.
Looks like the S24 Ultra will be making a change. Keeping the 3x. But switching to a 5x 2nd zoom with a much larger sensor. Allowing them to keep 12mp cropped 10x images but giving much better pictures in that 5-10x range. I think this is the best path. 3-5x is simply too useful to throw to the side.
I will wait until iPhone 16 is given to us.
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
