I’m still rocking the iPhone X and it SUX compared to whatever Samsung Note my buddy has - pictures of everything from our arctic Lynx trophy photos to the Aurora Borealis were, literally, 2.5-3X better quality than my camera took. BUT I’ve seen some AMAZING photos taken with the iPhone 12 Pro models - particularly low light hero situations! They were better than any phone pix I’ve seen. The KEY to this is that the 12 Pro models have a “Lidar” Sensor that shoots an invisible beam out to measure the exact distance to the camera subject, allowing it to make perfect focus adjustments and better exposure calculations. This feature is NOT available on any other iPhone 12 models; it’s limited to the “Pro” models. All the best/most accurate rumors about the soon-to-be-released iphone 13 (possibly to be named the 12S) say that this next generation will still limit the Lidar feature to the “Pro” models. In addition, this next generation is supposed to have highly upgraded and larger lenses, making for significantly improved camera performance. Im still using this busted-ass old iPhone X while I’m WAITING on the late September release of the new iphone 13 Pro Max, specifically for the incredible camera!
I take a ton of hero/trophy photos for hunters on the ranch I manage. So, I’m REALLY looking forward to the Lidar feature and the huge jump in camera quality, from this old phone! If you’re not willing to shell out the $$ for a Pro model iphone (the 12 Pro model prices should drop some when they release this new generation) I think you’re better off with a top of the line Galaxy Note. If you want the “best” wait for the new iphone to come out - it’s only 2 months away!
Hope this helps!
