I’ve never met someone who was smart who owned the Triple Camera setup...

smart people would use an actual RX100m7 which is like a stealth fighter jet, while this is a little Cessna. Doesn’t matter if they increase the sensor in the Max by 35%, you cannot blow any images up shot with a cell phone for portraits. Most girls know...Sensor size matters

Serious question - do modern cameras have the machine learning and algorithmic features to improve shots? I’ve been upgrading iPhones for camera purposes (I know) but this might be the year that I go for a legitimate shooter

nothing beats the simplicity of importing video or being able to upload it directly from the device, when you modify it on the go, etc.
 
I need to see actual pics. Not seeing anything on the outside that looks better than my 11 Pro Max.

I have a 5d mark IV dslr and my
iPhone gets better shots, it does hdr magic where if I use my dslr I have to edit a lot in lightroom so I don’t use my pro camera anymore
 
Why can't they do all the cool colors in this size as well? Very weird how they always do that. It's not like people are going to buy the smaller one because the larger one doesn't come in those colors. I don't believe it is an intuitive/effective psychological marketing decision. The same team is obviously responsible for the lack of color options for the AirPod.

Less excited about the blue color now. I was hoping it would look more like this instead. Guess I'll be getting yet another black iPhone lol.

I'm with you there. But I still have hope that these leaked images are fake: for one, that gold color is downright ugly - very un-Apple like. Plus, they just released an AW6 in blue - I'm wearing it - so I'd think their iPhone blue would match that.

Pros don’t get vibrant colours if that is what you mean.

you don’t need any machine learning...the processor in the RX100m7 has the fastest autofocus on par with $5000 A9 full frames... perfect autofocus in 0.02 sec, no cell phone can touch it. 200x optical zoom, no cell phone can touch it. 1” sensor, no cell phone can touch it.

All these phone are trying to emulate the RX100m6/7 optical capabilities. Never gonna happen, and if it gets close they’ll come out with something a decade ahead of where Apple is at.

If you want to actually shoot quality photos, you have to have a quality camera. You will never be able to maximize your potential being handicapped by an iPhone. Do research and shoot in .RAW with the RX100 & blow it up in Lightroom, then compare it with this iPhone 12 Pro Max....its not a fair fight, the iPhone 12 Pro Max would have a better shot of beating Rafael Nadal in Roland Garros, than it does beating the RX100.

I’m not saying these don’t shoot quality photos...they do. I’m saying this is the minor leagues of photography, and anyone who says otherwise is a shrill for :apple:

Instagram is the definition of socialism, because they force every image to be the same resolution. A OG SE photo looks the same as a $25,000 medium format camera. However on Facebook and platforms like this, which actually let you post the full resolution, it is like a sumo wrestler versus a baby.

I'm much more excited about the blue colour now; even better than a Midnight Blue or a Navy. Took me a second, but I like how it compares to the Slate colour of iPhone 5, or even a deep turquoise. Definitely switching from Space Grey/Graphite.

Graphite!? Just give me black!

Black wouldn't show off the iconic triple cameras, so it will never happen.
 
Blue looks lovely. I will admire it as I place it into a case and likely never see it again. Though maybe, after I've had the phone for two years, I will carry it naked. But before that, risk of a drop and break is too high for me to not case it up.

Why does the 12 & Mini get the nice blue and the Pro get the worse shade (IMO). I’m trading in my 11 Pro Max for a 12 Pro Max but I sure wish it was the same, darker blue as the smaller/lesser phones.
