When do they get courageous and just come out and say they are not making computers anymore? That would be refreshing. **** the iPhone.
And yet you saidI have taken outstanding people in awe shots on my 950 because I had it and have a good photography mindset to set up shots. I never claim though its better than what a camera could do.
In the end its the photographer not the equipment.
I'm confused.People still today will break out the DLSR if they want to create memories not a phone camera.
And yet you said
I'm confused.
Apple's ad's are at their best when they show you what the product can do. Glad to see them getting back to their roots with the iPhone ad campaigns. And - dang - this camera is fantastic!
Any point & shoot pocket camera (Sony, Canon, etc) is a better camera than an iPhone will ever be. iPhone has a good camera for a smartphone, but it certainly isn't a good camera if you're looking for a camera.
What percentage of people in the world do you think own DSLRs?There is this thing called focal length.... Phones will never approach DLSR for that simple reason.
Cameras on phones are nice , yet not the "end all be all" as they are the modern polaroids. People still today will break out the DLSR if they want to create memories not a phone camera. People put too much faith in phones being able to replace all...despite apl ads trying to make you feel better about spending $749

Yes, there is a "thing" called focal length. And for many, the roughly 30mm focal length (wrt to full-frame) is ideal for what people with phones want to make photos of. That is, their travels, friends, relatives, etc.
"Phones will never approach DLSR for that simple reason."
And nobody claims they will.
Ultimately, the strength of a photo and its ability to create an emotional connection to a viewer has very little to do with the camera used. Rather, it's about the photographer and his/her life experiences, eye, imagination, ability to compose, understanding light, understanding context and choosing what's is/isn't in the frame, and much much more.
Many photographers choose to use a phone cam as their "always with them camera." I do and have been shooting with one for years.

The gap between phone cameras and your average point and shoot camera has closed a tremendous amount over the last 10 years (even though both have improved) and that trend is likely to continue.
How long do i expect to get the final beta of portrait mode? I have seen samples bokeh of Vivo v5+ which seem to blur edges of the subject better. Anyone?
You are 100% right. It's not the gear, it's the photographer capturing the moment. That pic you added, you could have used a disposable camera, no need for an expansive smartphone, let alone a DSLR.
DSLRs just let you capture moments that a smartphone cannot, and vice versa having smartphone handy means you will capture a moment that you would otherwise not due to time to get one out or even carry one around . As they they, the best camera is the one you have with you .
Apple how about a follow-up ad to this series called "edited on Mac Pro using this suite oof apps. This is what apple uses in house to bring you such great ads"!
It's confusing when this is your claim.Not confusing,
With my 950 in my pocket, dedicated camera button and being a good photographer I can get some awesome shots with my phone , however if I know I'm going to say Alaska. Europe or the Caribbean, bringing a DLSR with multiple lenses is desirable.... I guess the way I look at it is for planned memories bring the camera, for everyday memories some of which can be amazing ...have the phone charged and on you.
So basically any memories with a phone camera is invalid per your statement.People still today will break out the DLSR if they want to create memories not a phone camera.
Apple is not claiming pros must abandon their gears and only use iPhone. Apple's target is the general user. Do they need DSLR?I think its a bit disingenuous of Apl to so highly promote their 12MP camera, people may think a DLSR is not needed when in fact the best pics can be obtained with one in the right hands. The time lapse shots are just silly no one has time to do those...but they make good ad copy.
