I've been on the fence about the pro vs pro max, but honestly this 5x zoom looks like straight up ass. Why are they all blurry?

Just going to go 15 pro with battery pack.
You serious? To me it looks very good. Same can be said of the reviews I’ve seen comparing it to Samsung 23 Ultra thing, up to about 10x it’s compatible if not preferable.

Thank you!!!!! That guys a joke and just trolling. I'm moving on from a 12pro and battery pack. I want that 5x lens. The camera can be great if you know how use it and edit it.

Just managed to set up my 15 Pro Max. Jumping from 13 Pro Max x5 zoom really visible with details on pics. I will take a proper walk and try to take some photos. Both photos made with same light, x5 zoom and then just zoomed extra on the phone. I took a screenshot so size of uploads will not be as big.

Honestly been blown away by the camera so far. The dynamic range is so good, 15PM coming from a 14PM. Something about the color science is just hitting right for me. This is an out the box shot, no editing.

Couldn’t agree more, also coming from a 14PM. Wasn’t expecting a massive upgrade tbh, especially after the lacklustre keynote but the telephoto and improved processing/rendering really shows.

Couple more 5X shots, never been one for wildlife photography but it’s a lot of fun having that 120mm fov in your pocket.

Yea the top one looks better, looks like the lbc skyline in the background.
Weird. I was gonna say the second one looks better. Brighter, and more detail everywhere. The American flag, the pipe on the blue building. Sat dish, Hose reel, tree bark, leaves at the bottom etc.

I can't get over the macro—then again, I'm coming from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, so I've never taken cell-phone shots like this. And these are just regular snapshots, in low light, HEIC compression with Live Photo on.

Have they been this good before, on the iPhone 13 & 14?

Update: tried to post with camera metadata—how is that done?
