apparently even after 10 notes, they are not getting. In fact during their 7th they blew away literally.

Apple Shares New iPhone 11 Pro Videos Highlighting Durability and Camera Capabilities [Updated]

As someone who has a full-frame sensor camera, I can tell that computational photography has come a long way since 2014 when the iPhone 6 was released. Especially, when it comes to HDR. My iPhone X can produce very similar pics to my Sony a7iii. The XS was even better due to more software optimizations. Now the 11 is supposed to be even better in that department as well. Also, the iPhone 6 Plus camera was very decent for its time. I had a 6S Plus, which had the same camera, for 2 years and took some great pics with it. Let's not forget that these devices are super compact and light compared to fully-equipped crop-size sensor or full-size sensor cameras. It's truly amazing what they can do nowadays.
They do. Did not they just release a commercial conveying a message that Samsung phones have boken in video and iPhones don't? I am not sure what message this Apple ad conveys. That iPhones have a camera?
I'm sorry but this is absolute cringe. Suggesting the iPhone is tough because you shot a rubber duck at it? Or because you dropped it gently on to a bouncy rubber floor? Come on...
I expect Samsug to do a piss take of this advert in a matter of days.

Yeah, to avoid stupid comments by even more stupid people claiming that this ad is nothing but a stupid-funny marketing-gag.

*kinda unrealistic and forced damage-videos
i agree. Every year they talk about how awesome the camera is, but rarely is it ever materially obvious the gains that are claimed. For all the talk about “computational photography”, there is simply nothing that can beat physics. I see all these camera comparisons and they’re all fairly surface level and entirely detached from true quality. The camera demos remind me a lot of the game demos: in relative terms, impressive—but in absolute ones? the cameras are on or slightly above the level of a good point and shoot or entry-level dslr.
I admit, this is all kind of discouraging and sanctimonious, but I think it’s important to have perspective with these things. it’s hard to have an absolute perspective on quality if your only camera experience is with iPhones, budget point and shoots, and perhaps a low-level kit-lens jpeg experience with some canon t5 or whatever.
i get it: most people just want to be able to pictures with the camera they have with them. And it is important to acknowledge the technical feat that the iPhone is. but it’s also important to understand the true extent of the road ahead, and it’s frustrating, how perennially this **** occurs: people try to squeeze and distort the distance between high quality cameras and the iPhone, when it’s incredibly obvious how paltry the cameras actually are to anyone who has perspective on photography. sure, a great cinematographer can take awesome video with an iPhone, but there’s a reason why most talented people opt for a mirrorless or a dedicated video camera when it comes down to actually enacting their art

The camera lens may cloud up due to moisture, but it will dry out after a short time. The camera does not stop working. (This has happened to me while swimming with my dogs. Yes, with my phone. Because I need to take photos of my dogs while they are swimming. What, doesn’t everyone do that?)
It conveyed the message of being resilient to "whatever is thrown at it." The materials don't matter. People will see it and get the message.
For the masses, it's very clear in my opinion.
I think it was pretty cruel to the dog in the video -- in that wind chamber. I protest the use of animals in this way.
Sure, but "way better?"
I mean, they run Android for starters. Do not want that. Apple supports their devices...huge win. More private, more secure, truly great cameras, and industry leading silicon. iPhones have very long usable lives too and thus hold value better for resale.
Note 10+ has great hardware...but not as great of a full user experience...for me and many iOS users.
Awesome videos, the dog one is pretty funny

Just because if you damage it you void the water resistance. It is pretty logic, for Samsung too.
Apple phones lose over $500 per year in value. Most Android phones barely cost that much in the first place so if you use them for 2 years you're in profit.
and they will promptly tell you $299 plus tax. buy applecare, or don't drop your phone you entitled baby.
