i just don't get it. Both 11 and 11 pro have wide and ultra-wide lenses, same sensors, same optics. Why for the sake of photography i should get a "pro"? Why this article praises "pro" version?
Got a tip for us?

You are misunderstanding him. What he means by “landscape” is turning the phone sideways.
What on earth are you talking about ?
What does it matter to me?
I have no idea how much RAM has been in any of my iphones and I couldn't care less, frankly. Why does it matter? Go back to Android with your specs and numbers and leave the iphone to people who use phones.
Let's be serious. You’re just hating.

The dynamic range of the Pro seems pretty good considering what night mode is doing for images. The future of the iPhone camera system is pretty exciting, but I just upgraded because I wanted to avoid the square tri lens blob. I carry enough cameras around with me I barely use my phone to make photographs these days.
Wrong. Bright as in brightness. Overexposure will result in over brightness.
Points me to where the iPhone photo at 6:24 was overexposed perhaps? Because if you look, the highlight was more or less at the same level of Pixel's only on Pixel you can see some lights in the background ACTUALLY overexposed while those on iPhone retained some details.

Oh. So he wants it to crop when you rotate the phone? Why would you want it to throw away pixel data just because you rotate the phone?
Do you have anything sources to support that? I have never had any problems with memory on any iPhone, so I have no idea what apps you are saying that I can't run, that I would want to. So many people create this false ram size narrative. After all, it was just a few years ago that having 3gb or 4 gb on a PC was an extravagance, and yet people did all sorts of stuff on computers. There were even clowns out there saying you needed 32gb just to run Chrome browsers. There is also a thing called virtual memory, yah? While you may have a point, I think you owe it to all of us ("Everyone who currently has an iPhone with less than 2.9 GB") exactly what you are talking about. Thanks
Damn, I hate it when technology improves! but I have not heard anyone say "the no-longer-new model apparently sucks": never, like never, never, ever. Like last year's Pixel3 had (has) a great night mode app, I haven't heard anyone say that now the Pixel3 sucks. And you know the Pixel4 will improve on it. Get ready to throw away those sucky Pixel3s everyone, oh wait, they are still pretty darn good - never mind
Has Apple guaranteed that no additional lenses or other equipment were used to create these shots? If not, I’d assume that some or even many were. MacRumors should seek clarification.
I don’t believe or trust that these are iPhone-only shots. I believe Apple aren’t so stupid as to completely fake them with DSLR cameras like the competition has been routinely caught doing, but I do think they will use every trick in the book to get as much light and dynamic range (etc) as they can, and that includes using expensive and cumbersome add-on lenses, complex studio-like setups (reflectors, lighting and external flashes etc) or professional mobile rigs.
If complex, expensive and impractical setups were used, it’s extremely misleading (and borderline false advertising) to purport to consumers that it’s the quality you can get from the iPhone alone, yet they do this every year.

Depends. Lots of value to having it in one device you always have with you.
Have to give you something to complain about. Here is a comparison of various current gen phones and cameras https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/17/...mera-battery-life-screen-midnight-green-price
It's better than killing innocent fish for a living.
You do realize that Apple won’t ditch their redesign of the back portion after only 1 year, especially since people already start liking it and the iPad Pro getting the same square. Expect any kind of redesign (if there will be any) to be adressing the front portion of the iPhone or the notch only.
The camera square is here to stay and will most likely be extended with a tof Sensor next year
Off-topic -- I tried to get through that video, but Justine's "OMG" Valley girl reaction to almost everything she saw made it impossible for me to finish. I keep waiting for a video from her where she acts her age (35). Maybe that will happen sometime during the next decade.
It's interesting to see the potential and capabilities of the new iPhone's camera. Just like my watch, I won't ever go diving 100m below the water, but it's nice to know it can stand up to a little abuse. Or my GoPro, I don't use it for extreme sports/conditions, but it's nice to see that if it takes a bit of a tumble, I don't have to worry.
You’re probably right but I sincerely hope that’s not the case.
I’m a still huge fan of the olde-good-days of Apple where design was more important than making millions.
Perhaps they could find a way to preserve the cameras without making them so obviously visible and then I’d be ok.
In my humble opinion, this is a step forward in performance and a step backwards in design.
This is me exactly. Normally, a camera upgrade would not be nearly enough to push me to upgrade, but that night mode.. No, no, my XS Max is working just fine..
Can you point me to an example in the past where Apple has been 'caught' using any of those things you list?
