Very nice results but be aware that phone cameras do lots of "computational photography, " which often gives grest results but sometimes does whatever it thinks is best, not what you might expect (as with your fancy "real" camera. )

I think that your phone will make raw images, which you can process any old way you want, as the regular camera also will do.

And who has the time? I don't.

You can also get an app like Halide, that gives you total control.

I got a low end SE3 to keep myself "focused" on the expensive cameras.

But just enjoy, and turn off Apple AI.

Siri-ously!
