Other PSA: No Macro Photography on iPhone Air

[mike1123]

For anyone considering the Air, if Macro photography support is important to you, this is the only phone in the lineup that doesn’t have it. Was considering the Air until I saw this. Both the standard 17 and the Pro models support it. Just trying to save people some frustration in advance.

What is the minimum focus distance the iPhone Air can achieve?

 

[JPack]

Fully expected since there's no ultrawide lens.

The minimum distance for a single lens phone like 16e is about 5 inches.

That is a bummer.

17e won't have it either.

Many of my photos (on my 11) are taken with the ultra-wide lens; I think I'd miss it if I got the Air.

So no more pictures of ants

Just curious, what do you use the Ultra Wide for?

On my 16 Plus, the quality of the main sensor is so much better that I’ve barely used the Ultra Wide.
