If you are talking about close up images, then some of those lenses have close focus distance to enable macro feature. Nothing new. Like I said, wide lenses tend to have macro features due to its minimum close focus distance.

The telephoto can still use as a macro if it's within the minimum focus distance if the object is not TOO small.

So you agree with me that macro mode is a crop, with software enhacnements, of the ultrawide camera.

Wider lenses are also better for macro because they naturally have deeper depth of field, at the same apertures, than normal lenses.

So you agree with me that macro mode uses the ultrawide camera.

I don't get your point. Are you trying to claim that iPhone has more than 3 lenses? Having a macro feature does NOT make it as a separate lens btw.

I know, that’s why I said that macro was a crop of the ultrawide. Both Pro phones have three physical lenses.

No. Both Pro phones have three physical lenses.

Then I have nothing to say.

Actually they have 4, everyone forgets about the front selfie camera.
