Interesting!

Hopefully they’ll bring this option to XS users (I don’t see why they can’t), looks to be a substantial improvement.

Nice review!

Yeah because it is using the larger sensor wide angle camera. The wide-angle camera gets about 2 stops more light than the smaller sensor telephoto. The only disadvantage is that the wide angle will bring more distortion.

Hopefully this gets brought to the iPhone XS?

Perhaps if it detects low light it automatically switches to the wide angle?
