Why insane? What is it about main camera captures that you have problems with?

Ugliest phones ever. And most boring keynote to date. Was hoping for a new apple tv.
Wow. I upgrade for the competence, not for the mass storage. Everything about the 17 Pro is hugely more competent than the 14 Pro.
Rationalize your own situation however you like, but these are still great new phones.
Wow. I would never have believed people buy phones solely based on color.
And yet it’s heavier than last years titanium model.
Completely agree! Between the lackluster updates, videos, and leaks it’s nothing like it used to be with Jobs.
Still hard to believe. Always get a black one.
I didn't think it was that bad until I saw the hands on. The cutout on the back isn't even color matched. It looks absolutely hideous! Who ok'd this!?!? The 5C looks better than this!
Not thrilled despite the mature market. Not having black was an insanely stupid move but I didn't read into it enough to know why they decided against it. I know a case "does the job" but come on...
Going to compare it against the 14 PM to see if it's worth the move. Most likely not but I do like to upgrade every 3 years and get some sort of $ back for my old phone.

Agreed .. and if that's the rationale, there should be no color for any phones.
Just make one of each and tell everyone to get colored cases (which they don't do).
So you have a 4x zoom at 48 megapixels and an 8x zoom at 12 megapixels. What about in between? Will it sensor crop for 5x, 6x, 7x, etc like the main camera does? This is an important item that they have NOT clarified! The main sensor crops between 1x and 2x!
I’m wondering why Apple cut back on color profiles with this phone. Only thing I can think is it helps cut costs so they could keep the prices the same. It’s surprising there wasn’t a huge bump up with everything going on. But it is odd that some of people’s favorite options were chopped. The keynote was very much a mystery at times and still is. Why they made certain choices is unclear at this point.
Take my money now, Apple. This is the upgrade I've been waiting for! A bit surprised by the specs for the front camera though; wasn't that rumored to be at least 24mp?
Very much so. I’ve been saying this since the first leaks, and now it’s confirmed.
Between "Camera Plateau" and "Dynamic Island" I would like the notch to henceforth be known as the "Sensor Peninsula" in keeping with the geographic formation theme.
At first, I didn’t like any of the colors. I still think that blue should’ve been black or dark grey in the Pro range to appeal to more people. But the orange suddenly grew on me—it reminds me of some old Sony phones, MD players, and Discmans. Very cool and adventurous.I'm gonna get the orange Pro Max even though my 16 Pro max desert gold is just 10 months old.but I like the new camera features.

Not just him. It is super ugly.
It’s funny how both the baseline iPhone and Air have better choices this year. I don’t know what possessed Apple this year with the Pro series.
I remember posting it back then, everyone drank the koolaid and said its the best material ever. I told them its not, its garbage. Now we are back to aluminium what a scam
