#12Coming from a iPhone 12 to the 14, the aggressive switching between lenses is pretty annoying in close and far shots. The lens shift screws up framing and hits at unpredictable times.

#13These pictures are fantastic. For anyone but professionals the reasons to buy a DSLR or mirrorless are virtually gone.

#15Lol, nothing is better about the dark skyline image. It's a blurry noise canceled mess with bad white balance.

#16The iPhone 14 has a fantastic camera. It's a noticeable improvement from previous models and takes fantastic photos that rival or surpass many SLR cameras on the market. If Apple had taken another leap and included usb-c port it would have been enough for me to upgrade. For now, I wait.
Phones don't rival or surpass DSLRs or any proper digital camera. They just have lots of fancy processing that makes quick snaps look better than the same amount of effort on a camera.
Yeah, it's hard to compare 35mm full frame sensors with miniscule camera sensors. As you said the magic is their processing which compensates for that.

Using something like Halide[1] gives you more control - once you pick a lens, it stays picked.
[1] Other camera apps are available, etc.

Until that same fancy processing is available on a DSLR, I think the comparison OP is making is valid. At the end of the day, what I as a consumer care about is "is photo look 1. pleasing, 2. accurate to my perception, and 3. easy to create?" and in those regards, the iPhone absolutely outperforms every DSLR I've ever used.

Not in the stock Camera app, no, but other apps let you specifically control which lens is being used.

#20Why is "huge" not in the title ? edit: it's fixed now
The HN game:
- Was it editorialized by the submitter?
- Was it changed by dang to de-clickbait it? (probably not in this case)
- Did one of HN's title filters remove some words?
