I don't blame you, but the problem is not the hardware, it's the software.
They're doing so much post processing now and they haven't quite got it figured out since they added AI to the mix. I'm not happy with the 13 Pro a lot of the time either. So, I mostly use the ProCam app now, which takes much better pictures in most cases than Apple's camera app because it's not doing all that AI bullshit.
MKB has a good video on the subject of image processing in phones and how google went through a similar phase to what Apple is in right now:

Otherwise, you’re working with a slightly still buzzed cant decide if i want to sleep it off, puke it out never ending battle of indecisive.
The end product look is either 1000% what you actually see when wasted your eyesight goes in and out of black to blurs both close and in background or it’s perfectly clear crisp 100% sober field of vision as the end result
No in between and you’re also playing whack a mole with road runner. Its slim odds of actually succeeding in getting the picture you were going for and eventually trying to snap at the perfect moment is given up and you settle for best of 5 minutes work of 300 snapped that look exactly identical to everyone else but you.

it pisses me off when i’m in an airplane and trying to record out the window. my lidar senses the window and goes to macro mode and blurs everything

Even if you got the screen completely black as part of your prank, your friend would probably restart their phone and go back to normal

If you switch to 0.5 it should help I think

Reply to Thinking about getting an iPhone after having only Androids (mainly Samsung) for all my life by Zabbidou
iOS has an App Library screen that you can access from the rightmost home screen, and it organizes the apps automatically. The App Library groups similar apps into one folder, which it also names for you, and you can’t drag apps into other groups to rearrange. I pretty quickly found it unusable and just use the Search feature.
In a way, I got used to it by ignoring it.

It works better if you turn your phone sideways abd slight towards whatever your filming. It will also be able to tell if you’re trying to focus on something in the foreground, or in the background faster and differentiate.

All iphone photos have a weird brownish tint to them, compared to Samsung's clear and crisp vibrant photos. Use both as my daily drivers.

it's an iPhone 13 Pro feature which drives me nuts because the iPhone 14 has the iPhone 13 Pro's same CPU / GPU so why wouldn't the Macro camera feature also carry over?
It makes no sense to me except maybe and with Apple this is a big if...it's to keep prices down.
I hope the iPhone 15 does carry over though that feature. I also really hope Apple beats the rest of the competition with introducing Ray Tracing soon to it's new chips as well.

Blink - Quick Memo.
It's basically a notes/reminder app, but in the most minimal form. White screen that you add text to that you can assign a color to (black for low priority, blue for medium priority, and red for high priority along with a push notification for any red item every 15 mins). When you're done with an item, you just swipe it down to remove it.
I like that it's not needlessly complex and can used for anything that pops into your head or a list you need to check off as you do daily tasks. What makes it cool is that you can just see everything at a glance and use the simple color system to see what's most important.

They made the minimum focus distance on the entire 14 line further away.

I’m sure it is. I try to use system functionality where I can to avoid more and more accounts/credentials.

It's probably the matte oleophobic coating that's being scratched. The iPhone 11 and up started having this coating on the back glass. It naturally wears away with use anyway, especially around the corners being taken in and out of a case, or if no case it will wear off over time.
You can try and protect it I guess, but I wouldn't bother. There are products available that can reapply a similar coating, or you can also polish it off to just a glass surface.

Yeah but the macro mode is used by the ultra wide lens and it’s not very sharp and you’re so much better off just digitally zooming the standard wide lens

AnyList is awesome. Shopping lists, recipes from which you can add any ingredient to your shopping list, meal planner, shared lists so my wife can add shit while I’m shopping so just when I think I’ve got everything I have to go all the way back to the back of the fucking store….
It’s awesome!
