It’s nothing new: for those who have a bullet in the needle and want the latest in photography and video technology, iPhone Pro models are the best choices in the Apple universe. But those who do not have so many photographic and cinematographic ambitions also deserve attention — and therefore, it is also healthy to analyze how Apple’s “non-Pro” models are evolving.
It was exactly what the MacRumors did: in a full article and in a video, journalists Juli Clover and Dan Barbera put the iPhone 13, O iPhone 11, O iPhone 8 it’s the iPhone 6. The interval between generations served precisely to cover a longer period of evolution of the devices, and show the user if the improvements to each model are, depending on the needs of each one, sufficient to upgrade.
Obviously, the iPhone 6 turned out to be the ugly duckling of the bunch: the differences between the images captured by the device and those of the others are the most glaring, indicating that Apple really made significant improvements to its cameras between 2015 and 2017.
The latest trio — iPhones 8, 11, and 13 — already have more subtle but still important differences. Interestingly, the iPhone 8 has a “photo profile” more similar to the iPhone 13 than the 11, with more natural colors; nevertheless, it has more problems dealing with light points and indoor scenes with artificial lighting.
Or iPhone 111, in turn, delivered results that were often “fuzzy”, with compromised definition. The iPhone 13 shines in exposure compensation and night scenes.
It is up to the customer, therefore, to assess whether the changes are significant enough to change the device. It all depends, of course, on which generation you are and how seriously you take the art of photography on your mobile. So, what’s your opinion?
