    Put as much zoom as you want the picture still looks like crap if the lighting is not perfect.

      I’m in the same position. I’m been asking for a new mini for ages. If it doesn’t, I think I’ll bite the bullet and upgrade to the Pro next year

    I will miss the 3x lens a lot. It’s by far the best for detailed pictures of small things. The 0.5 distorts angles if you get close for macro mode and the 1x cant get close enough without blurring the image.

        Me neither lol. It had little use due to the small sensor size and not taking in enough light. Now, if they put the large sensor on the telephoto…

      I’d rather they just gave the 1x lens macro ability so we could get those shots at full 48mp resolution.

      Ya, I would way rather a 3x with the sensor the size of the 1x and an increase to the maximum aperture

    That moment… when a company worth 3.2 trillion runs out innovation. – Let’s add another megapixel and more camera features! How about fixing your leaking VPN since you’re a self-proclaimed privacy company. Also, how about fixing the faulty GPS running from your “Ultra” watch. How about stopping your voyeuristic practice of routing through your “private relay” proxy and allowing wifi hotspots to take control of my wifi connection without permission due to faulty API’s. How about not routing Apple data past the VPN so my ISP can see your server traffic and glean all sorts of data. How about working on Siri and Apple music too while you’re at it. Apple music is dated amd siri doesn’t respond upon “hey Siri” more than 50 percent of the time. How about fixing the front camera to not make me look like a fish!!

    Needless to say, I’m writing this from my Samsung Galaxy, light-years ahead of Apple anything. QA fail at Apple right and left, how about you test your products before releasing them…how about you show that your products are worth the ridiculous price you charge for a pretty little kids toy. noN THERE’S an idea for ya Apple.

    I just want them to include both lenses.

    It’s so dumb, I can’t for the life of me decide between Pro and Pro Max. The quality between 3x and 4.9x is terrible on the PM, but of course it maxes out a lot later. I don’t want to think about which shots I’m taking more of, I want to be versatile. And I can’t decide whether I want to miss out on zooming 10x with it still looking okay-ish, or whether I want the intermediate range to be less lossy. I’d even give up the wide angle for that, who even needs that?

    Just please, give us the 3x and 5x (or potentially more if they do upgrade it) in the same phone and you’ll have my money.

      Those of us who like to photograph stuff like landscapes and architecture. And it’s also super useful for video being the most stable lens and not needing to look at your phone when recording - it’s the only one I use for stuff like snowboarding.

        Yeah, I’ve shot tons of reels for clients using the ultrawide as the primary lens. So who even needs it? Probably people actually using the cameras for work, also known as “pros.” Lol

          Alright, I take it back.

          I just have bad experiences with ultrawides, because the people in my sports club always film in ultrawide, saying “it looks better”, and it really annoys me because you end up seeing NOTHING of the subject, but instead you can see the floor and roof and 3 of the 4 walls in that gigantic hall. And on top of that, the sensor is worse now too.

    At this point I really don’t care. It’s a point and shoot. If I really wanted to get a better photo if get a camera out

    When will people stop using stupid zoom designations for focal lengths? There’s no such thing as „5x zoom” for a prime lens ffs

      I like shooting with the 4.2 mm f/1.6 lens of my iPhone 12 mini. But I find less use for the 1.54 mm f/2.4 lens.

    I honestly don’t want 5x. I very very rarely shoot further than 3x… and a 5x zoom lense means that 3x zoom picture is going to worse quality.
