iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Ultra Wide Camera

[AppleB]

sorry for the dumb question but this is my first iPhone. How to switch between lenses and more importantly, how to switch between wide angle lens ultra wide lens?

.5 is ultra wide 1x is wide 2 is telephoto tap to select. Press and hold for the wheel to come up for finer adjustments.

Competing with the standard wide lens.

Phone cameras use computational power to overcome the limitations of the lenses and sensors. But Apple's new Deep Fusion method is only designed to work with the wide lens, so it's like they've already abandoned the ultra-wide at launch so they can sell a better version next year.

The next years version is always better as are all products that are currently being developed.

Also the ultra wide lens can take shots the wide lens can’t. Different tools for different situations

Google's computational photography even improves non-Google phones. Apple's software is now so garbage they can't even make XS's with the amazing A12 Bionic chip do any better and they have to buy their "innovation" from hardware vendors like Samsung.

Could be a placebo affect but I think the image quality on my XS has gone up since updating to ios 13.

Good for you, life's easy when you follow simple rules like "just buy the newest and most expensive Apple device". I'm interested in the best mobile camera so am happy to wait a couple of weeks for the Pixel 4 to launch, especially since Apple shipped the iPhone 11 with Deep Fusion not even working. Plus the current portrait mode is broken AF.

Wait so you don’t even use an iPhone 11?

Apple shipped the iPhone 11 without Deep Fusion and were upfront about it being released in a future update. I wouldn’t call that “not even working”

And how is portrait mode broken? I’m finding it works far better than on my XS.

Same here, works better.

They’re not an Apple enthusiast - I don’t know why they post here.

Tried and returned an iPhone 11. Now waiting until after the Pixel 4 launch to re-evaluate all the options.

Pixel 4, what a beauty! Look at those upside down ‘horns’, or is it Groucho‘s mustache?

Most secure facial recognition system in any phone.

Many Apple fans have argued for years that FaceID is necessary because fingerprint scanners are too insecure... I'm guessing in about 2 weeks it will turn out FaceID is "secure enough" and Google's improved system isn't worth it...

 

[Azathoth123]

I won’t buy one until they bring back the fingerprint scanner, a home button, and a 3.5mm jack.

But at least they’ve added a camera and caught up to the iPhones of years ago.
