... What made you decide on the iPhone? Did you just need a new phone? Or did you specifically chose it for its camera capabilities?
Ive been with iPhones since model 1. Hate to jump ship every time competitors leapfrog each other. A friend gave me an Android while in Cyprus and I hate it. Not because it is inferior (it is a rather old model, so it is, but I am sure the latest generation is just as capable), but because it is different. I hate to spend time relearning something that I see as an appliance, a toaster of a kind. I use it, and devote to it just enough attention to do what I need it to do, and that’s it.
Having said that, I did get the Max for its camera advances. My prior model was an iPhone 7s and there was nothing wrong with it, but knowing this trip was coming, I wanted something more advanced photographically. So far, it’s been a pure pleasure. As I described in my Belgrade post in another thread, I used it for 90% of shots on this trip. Besides, as also mentioned there, it brings me back to my youth, when having 50mm and 28mm lenses was everything one could wish for.
