In a post-Facebook mobile phone world the online nature of photography makes the pixel peeping of dxomark a bit obtuse. The big things that a discerning eye would notice; highlight clipping, noise, color shifting, color accuracy...doesn't need sophisticated test equipment.
But I do agree Dxomark is a tool that is used by fans, sometimes mainly as a tiebreaker. Doesn't necessarily need to be apple fans.
Well said .
I think 5 or 6 phones produce excellent photographs , and there is no “big” difference between them.
The biggest difference is problem needing to have the latest and greatest , while in fact , photography is not about having the best equipment.
