This was a great read, clear, concise, and entertaining. It also struck me how "over powered" phones are these days. I get that the latest chip with the latest GPUs/APUs/IPUs/whatever are really capable, but the weird "I don't need a cinema capable device in my phone" feeling starts to get overwhelming. If nothing else I feel like we're going to force Apple (and others) to go back to easily replaceable battery technology because a "phone" will meet its user's needs for a decade or more and the parts that wear out will need to be replaced several times.


Yes, it’s almost like a post to explain why you wouldn’t be getting the most out of this model phone if are you aren’t doing high end photography.


That’s a feature in the prosumer market, not a bug
