It's hard enough to take shots without accidentally getting a finger in the frame on my XS. I'd hat to think of what a pain this'll be.
Got a tip for us?

You’d be surprised how many professional photographers are using iPhones in the field. Will it replace dslrs for things like wildlife or sports photography? Of course not. But the line is blurring. If anything, it is a great secondary backup camera for photographers or for shooting b roll for videographers. No joke. Some big name Hollywood directors have used the iPhone to shoot parts or all of their movies on an iPhone. Steven Soderbergh for one.
David Lynch used a 2005 Sony Camcorder for his Inland Empire, editing it with Final Cut Pro. The result is pure hallucination. An iPhone 12 would be a huge improvement!
That's quite a large camera module!
Hands on with the next three iPhones.

Bigger camera + bigger battery = immediate upgrade for me.
As another photographer, I pull out my D850 when I want to take an image...
Then you possibly risk scratching the lens with a ring on your finger as you hold the phone.
Lol, 15 dislikes and 12 likes on this post. Can someone explain to me what is wrong with iPhone 12 Pro camera and why we need something better in our pockets? Just a curiosity.
Never! Until the millennial dont have a DSLR shooter in their pocket that can record Cinema HDR quality video in 8K it won't be enough. TikTok and Instagram stories deserve the best of the best. They will buy a new iPhone even if it cost as much as a freaking iMac, and the image quality improvement is barely distinguishable from the last generation device.

If you need a better camera than the current generation iPhone you really need to buy an actual camera. We’re at the point of no return and starting to pay way to much for a phone because it has a camera, why? Ridiculous.
Soon they will have to hire Sultan Kösen(the 2.5 meter guy) for hand ads, to make the iPhone look small again.

If you look at the thread on here with photos taken by the 12 pro max , some of the examples are incredible , makes you question why anyone bothers with anything but a dedicated dslr
Why not just do one decent lens with optical zoom?
Unless Canon/Sony etc. start putting computational photography into their higher end bodies, phones will catch up.
PS: Apple needs to make night mode able to be switched OFF by default. So hard to do fast motion shots as by the time you turn it off you miss the moment.
Why do you need a bigger or better battery tech, a faster CPU or GPU in the phone every year? ... you answer that and you have your answer about the cameras. It really isn't that difficult of a concept to grasp.
That or more space for optical stabilization/adjustments rather than software.
The cameras actually do need a lot of improvement and I have a 12 Pro Max.
I find the "cutaway" type industrial design for the Samsung S21 series camera module aesthetically superior.
