      Mostly you need to shoot RAW somehow. Apples colors are pretty shitty being too sharp and a weird oversaturation. On Lightroom you can take away the ProRaw Color Profile and replace it with Adobe Color.
      Mine does well with the intelligent long exposure being really stable. Being stable and avoiding shakiness in general, especially on the zoom lens. Portraits bokeh kinda suck compared to bugger sensors. But it’s still there.
      Maybe it’s best for Macro and Landscape stuff.

    Technically the iPhone now has 5 cameras.
    3 main lenses, a front camera and LiDAR. LiDAR technically is also a camera (you even can see this in Apples marketing material of the 2020 iPad Pro).
    And sadly capture outside the frame is already no longer a thing... I LOVED this feature SO much but Apple decided to completely kill it with iOS14 - just about 7 months after it was introduced with the iPhone 11 series... I still don't get why Apple has done this. It was so extremely useful and saved dozens of photos I took of my dog because sometimes he is too fast and I ended up capturing only parts of him.

    That combined Camera array must be the reason why with the native camera app open and I take my finger and cover the main camera. Suddenly another camera opens. This is very difficult when setting your camera up to view through the eyepiece of a telescope, for example. But if you want to blow your mind, a little bit, open your native camera app, and put your finger run up to the lens and cover it and then see what happens.

    Hi Greg. Thanks for your video. I bought an Apexel macro lens for my iPhone 11 Pro. It works fine on the wide angle lens. With the telephoto lens though, I get a clear view of the scene for a few seconds, but when I get closer to my motive, the lower half of the display turns black, as if the wide angle lens kicked in. Do the cameras interact in a weird way that I just don't get?

    I have an iPhone 12 Pro and just purchased an external lens for macro photography. Which of the 3 lenses do I attach the external lens to for macro?

    Can you make a video on what will happen with jailbreaking after the epic and apple trial has ended. Please it’s nothing about it and I want to hear someone’s thoughts. It seems like epic is going to win this one.
