Please get your facts correct. iPhone 12 launched 23 Oct 2020. Galaxy S21 launched 14 Jan 2021. Less than 3 months between release dates.so sad..... comparing a phone that is almost a year older, and with a feature that no one cares about.

Yeah, good one. The Samsung phone is newer, so, duh?
Let's talk about Samsung apps and services installed and running on top of Android, and the general Android-Sammy experience before we pick on Apple's one so-called limitation.
I realize this is a fanboy site, but don't we want better for our iphones? Putting aside the "fake" 100x digital zoom, the Samsung 10x optical zoom is far better than anything Apple has in market (2.5x). People are commenting "sad", but that will change to "excited" when Apple finally catches up.
It is a PHONE.
You need actual proper optics? Go use a proper camera with dedicated (fixed-focal-length) glass.
Yeah, keep believing that. In IFixIt’s iPhone 12 Pro Max tear down, the only Samsung parts are the 6GB RAM (among Micron, SK, and Toshiba suppliers) and likely the OLED display and its driver chip. LG supplies the 6.1 OLED for the iPhone 12 and in those iPhones probably the driver chips.Samsung already supping most iPhone parts, time to jump ship and get a Samsung phone.
Turns out that's not true since everyone upvoted youyeah but this is macrumors. If apple does it, it's great. If anyone else does it, it's trying too hard, no one's ever going to use it etc.
Go ahead people, Hit the downvote button and prove my point even further.
Just wait for Apple to polish it. Then imagine how much better it would be than Samsung.I realize this is a fanboy site, but don't we want better for our iphones?

Yes and the main selling points are high quality cameras. Why should people settle for less? People should want more options.
Apple will add periscope lens and it will have pretty much everything you could need from a smartphone camera
Because it's purely marketing and proof of concept.
No one's actually gonna go out and use 10000x digital zoom in the wild and do anything with those pictures.
It’s better to have it when you need it than not have it.
Exactly, hence why Samsumg's ad is plain pointless. Marketing. Nothing more, nothing less.The strength is more in 5x, 10x, 20x and 30x
It’s just always funny to see comparisons against the iPhone. Actually, I guess if I think REALLY hard, then… I guess it’s like Samsung represents themselves as “the best Android phone” and, as a result, doesn’t want to compare against any other Android phone. Because, that would be telling their customers about a thing that they might prefer AND is easy to transition to.Whenever these Samsung articles pop up, the iPhone defenders are instantly on the offensive wth the first comments. Happens every time like clockwork
The LIDAR is used on every photo, not just for AR. It focuses quick because it can gather very accurate range information on near objects (out to 8 feet I think?).I agree I would hardly ever use the zoom (impressive though it is), but even twice a year would be more than I use AR.
The lenses already slide on the current iPhone. On every phone that allows a smooth range of zoom (up until digital kicks in). The problem is that, iPhones are currently limited in their ability to zoom because of the thin-ness of the phone. Switching to perpendicular just means you do all the same things you’ve always done, only now the zoom is not limited by the thickness of the phone. It’s limited by how much space you want to allow for light to shine inside the phone (which of course means a smaller circuit board, smaller batteries, etc.).That from here. They 'move back and forth'? For how long? And what about 'you are holding it wrong', and 'bendgate'. How can Apple maintain the operation of sliding lenses in an iPhone?
Half right. If anyone else does it, it’s trying too hard. If Apple does it, it would have been done better under Steve Jobs OR why can’t they ignore the laws of physics, etc. Rarely is it considered “great”.yeah but this is macrumors. If apple does it, it's great. If anyone else does it, it's trying too hard, no one's ever going to use it etc.
