Perhaps it should be called Deep Confusion!

iPhone 11 Pro Is it just me, or was "Deep Fusion" just a gimmick?

Not at all. When it works, it definitely takes a cleaner, more detailed picture.
Again “cleaner, more detailed” being “improved” is completely 100% subjective.
as Ansel Adams once said “there is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept”.
.Photography is all about the content and the light. “Cleaner, more detailed” doesn’t particularly have anything to do with it. When I’m looking at a lens for possible purchase, for example, the sharpness of the lens is way down on my list of things that I‘m interested in.

So basically there is nothing left to argue but this: everyone has his own opinion. End thread.Again “cleaner, more detailed” being “improved” is completely 100% subjective.

Before and after images would have been a nice basis for a conversation but just throwing opinions at one another wether or not it’s better gets old quickly.
yap. Basically he can copy and paste that endlessly and noone can say much because as we all know that age old mantra: opinions are like ****holes, everyone....
Pretty much, except that excessively posting the same opinion over and over is not necessarily welcome on the forum.
Why anyone would enter a conversation about a technical feature just to dismiss the topic with some Ansel quote is beyond me personally too.
Yesssssssssss. Correct.
Another Ansel Adams quotes: “there are no rules for good photographs, they are only good photographs“.

Maybe you can get ahold of Apple and tell them it makes zero difference, and they wasted time and money on it.
This. I'm pleased with the quality of the shots, but I can't be sure how much Deep Fusion did, since I can't really disable the feature.
That used to be the case for sure, but now I don’t think that is the case- they wouldn’t put so much effort into smart hdr and all the other computational photography tricks if all people cared about were the things you mentioned.
Deep Fusion is not a gimmick, I can tell that fine detail is indeed enhanced. The name ‘Deep Fusion’ however, is a gimmick even though it may be technically accurate. With a name like that, many people will be expecting a difference that immediately draws your eye to a Deep Fusion image vs the same one without it, and that’s certainly not the case.
Love the feature though, whatever it’s called.

Turn on "capture outside the frame" in Camera settings, Deep Fusion won't work with that on as the ultra wide lens doesn't support it.
If not a gimmick then certainly a letdown given the marketing Apple gave it in presentation. Kinda like an atv+ show. I was interested. Tried watching for differences. Bad writing and plot since Apple wouldn’t indicate when deep fusion was happening. Lost interest.
