iPhone 11 iPhone 11: Are you happy with the camera lens combo? Or would you prefer a telephoto?

Ultrawide is better. Telephoto is just useless, or should I say I can just zoom it it by doing it using the slider.

Telephoto is very useful, if you have a variable zoom up to 20x like any decent bridge camera. Or if you have a high zoom like the Pixel 4 with 8x.

If your only choice is 1x zoom and 2x zoom, then yes that's a rather pointless expense.

Yes, it is not the ideal portrait range. The 2x on an iPhone is more of standard, or so called normal focal length in photography.
But even being so, it still makes a big difference on photographing people.
Check this example:

Massive difference in perspective from 24 to 50mm.
That is the case with the iPhone from 26mm equivalent focal length of the standard camera to de 52mm 2x zoom.

I understand many people these days grew up with smartphone photography and the wide lenses are what they see and know as standard so they are used to it.
But if you have any kind of background in photography the 2x makes a huge difference.

Very interesting link thanks.

But how often are you ("the average user") making passport-style portrait photos vs how often do you want a memory of a person being in a great place with more background context.
