I have the Nikon full frame D850 along with the holy trilogy of lenses (14-24mm + 24-70mm + 70-200mm f2.8 zoom lenses). in 2018, for every picture I took with the D800/850, I took +200 iphone pictures. I still believe there is room for a high caliber camera but I don't want to own it anymore, I just want to rent whenever I need it.
How could anyone read this without knowing it's an advertisement: "today I’m just as thrilled to be putting an entirely new Ultra Wide lens in my pocket. It gives us another format to tell the story, another perspective to visualize, and a better rounded tool for doing our best creative work."
It reads like a photographer who is a fan of Apple's camera tech. Shows some very nice photos (bc he's a pro or something I gather). Not an "advertisement". I can't see where any money changed hands from Apple to this photographer to write what he did. And I'm sure everyone who is a fan of shooting on Android phones will wait for the comparison reviews.
So why you so mad bro?
You read like an Apple hater.
Edit: Some ppl are mad that I used the word "mad" to describe the original comment. The assertion that this article is some paid advertisement is unfounded by lack of any evidence that Apple paid this photographer any money. At most Apple gave this person a loner iPhone for review - Apple does that.
Now would Apple "bet" that this person would write a glowing review? Quite possibly. Companies/people leveraging their fanbase is nothing new. But to say it's an "ad" is unfounded.
You should be glad you can spot bias in a review.
The question remains... why are you so mad?

I recently started appreciating 60fps screen but, iPhone 11 came up with 240 fps Galaxy Note10+ came up with 960fps and now Huawei Mate 30 Pro with 7680 fps
These night mode shots are seriously impressive. This might give DSLR manufacturers something to catch up with.
From a technical point of view I'm quite sure my >10 years old Rebel XSi will yield similar photos after editing the raw-file. If you are impressed by this you're probably not really following the tech, don't have any clue about image processing and are just blindly following what Apples advertising is selling you. Most of the "cool" iphone-pictures in non-optimal lighting are about 50% post-processing and they show…
Well obviously. The whole point here and the impressive part of the technology is that you get these results by simply pointing and shooting in full auto mode, no manual post processing and with tiny optics and sensors.

Conservative management. What happens to those who don’t swim?
I'm into taking photos to craft an image of reality. Myself. I couldn't care less for any AI crafting it's image of typical reality for me. I think that's quite set for anyone taking pictures for fun vs. admoney/instafame/...
Basically, make images that are currently possible on $3000+ hardware, on $600 hardware.
There's also such thing as perceptually correct image rendering, but that's a whole another can of worms (image appearance models and the like), it isn't scientifically ready just yet.

Does the author have a bias? Certainly. Is this an advertisement? Ads are paid announcements. There was nothing noting it was paid for in any capacity. There's a difference between an ad and a bias. I find it useful to notice biases because we all have them. Ads are quite different.
Second, this wouldn't be the first time someone did a paid promotion without noting it was paid. I don't know anything about this guy, so I'm not accusing him of anything. I'm just saying it's naive to think that everyone is always highly committed to playing nice with the FTC rules. (See game streamers and their odd tendency to open tons of 'loot boxes' on stream & get significantly better results than expected.)
Finally a lot of the copy reads like it's straight from a press release, with capitalized words and everything.
Whether it's enough to constitute an ad in a regulatory sense, I don't know. But you can be advertised to without the source being a literal ad according to a legal definition.
The pictures do look good, the colors are nice and the small image on the page is nice. But I haven't seen any 100% crops or full images. it's there that you'll see that the image is worse than a DSLR or another camera with a big lens and sensor. I can get nice pictures (= vibrant and nice colors) with any camera, what I can't get is a sharp image, with sharp edges. I went to a trip with my Android Phone and DSLR, an…
Most people don't zoom in on their photos. They look at them on their phones, full screen on their computers, or at best on a TV (1080p or maybe 4K, but sitting far away). This is what manufacturers optimize for. Getting great pictures for the 95%. Who cares if the hairs on the dog are blurry when you zoom in so much you can't see the rest of the picture? Well, Pros who might want to crop the photo later. And for the…
Beautiful photos, but why is the Exif scrubbed? I would have liked to see details.
By the way, what happens to exif when you upload online (or also fb or instagram)? Does it get removed or can everyone see my location?

I think if you learn the rule of 2 thirds then it helps a lot. The few people I’ve taught that rule to are much happier with their photos.
Agreed. I took a photography class in college, and I've turned the guidelines on for previews. I still don't have the command of light and expertise with framing demonstrated here, and I'm not carrying a tripod with me anywhere.
