the iPhone 16 Pro It already has a great camera system capable of taking very good pictures that you think they were taken on the pro -mirror cameras. I love the quality of the three rear lenses, and while I love modern features, such as Photography patterns Apple’s Prora Appo -form, I think there are more companies that the company can do to help photographers take their best photos ever.
I spent 14 years of review iphone and Android phones From all CNET brands, as a professional photographer, I always monitored the top of higher models cameras like Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro. At that time, I found a variety of features that I like to see is to integrate Apple into the next iPhone 17.
So let’s start.
Samsung’s My Filters Color Filter Clone
My candidatesSometimes Samsung is called, it is a tool hidden inside modern Galaxy camera phones. It mainly allows you to steal color tones from an image and apply them to another. Suppose you have found a beautiful online picture with dreamed pastel tones and the most prominent warm events. You can save that image on your phone (even a screenshot of it will work), and download it in the filter creation tool inside the camera application and then create a new candidate aimed at repeating the tones of that image. This filter will then save your phone to apply to all your photos later.
The original image (left) and the modified version using a dedicated filter (right). I love warmer tones, wild ducks and cinemas. He gave her a very old look and I really love it.
Although the filters that create it are not always particularly accurate for the source image (sometimes the effects may be very hidden), I love the results you can get from. I managed to create some of the beautiful cinematic appearance that you have dedicated to trying to give the impression of old Kodak movies.
Apple photography patterns are the closest thing to iPhone, and although some appearance is nice enough, there is no great limit to really creativity with colors, cinematic pills and other effects. I would like to see Apple expanding in the photography patterns tool to give this type of cinematic appearance that Fujifilm has achieved well with “customized recipes” on Popular cameras such as X100VI.
The 3 phone has a great micro mode.
Nothing in Macro’s mode for phone 3
I did not like the 3 phone in my country The last review A large part of this was due to the performance of the disappointing camera in general. But it has a one -saving blessing in its macro position. As a person running Photography YouTube channel Specialized in total photography, I feel that I have a high tape of what looks good when it comes close to pictures of small things like insects or flowers. But even I have to admit that this phone takes great pictures closely.
The iPhone 16 Pro also contains a micro function that uses Ultrawide lens to achieve a close focus. Although it definitely succeeds in approaching and personally with any insect it coincides with, the images do not always look great from them. I found the colors to look a little. Although it can focus near the lens, it leads to a widespread width. This means that you will need to get your phone near the insect, and you are likely to scare it.
I found Macro’s mode nothing more natural in treating its own images, in vibrant colors. Since it does not seem to depend on the super lens, it gives a closer vision on your topic without distorting the wide angle. Macro photography may be good, but it is also something that anyone with a phone can do (for having dedicated Macro equipment). I still like to see Apple working on its skills closely.
With attached GRIP, you can keep and use Xiaomi 15 Ultra just like a regular compact camera.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra Camera
I loved Xiaomi’s 14 Ultra and 15 ultra Phones, you find it able to take it Some of the best pictures I have ever seen from the cameras of the phone. There are many reasons why these phones are great for photographers, but one of my favorite things about photographing them is Xiaomi-Made accessories, including the grip of the camera and the installation of the filter.
In particular, the handle is very useful because it allows you to keep the phone just like a regular compact camera, while the built -in shutter button makes it easy to get rid of clicking on the screen. Meanwhile, the candidate holder allows me to use the same vocational nail filters (such as the pillar of the trainee or the neutral density filters) that I use with my professional camera set.
Apple does not make a camera grip for the iPhone, and although there are many third -party, I did not find much that I really liked to use. the Lika Lux fist It is well designed as you expect from the iconic photography brand, but it depends on Magsafe that feels that he is confident in your phone in place only with the magnet and will only work with the Leica application, not with the IPHONE virtual camera application. (Oh, which is approximately $ 400 supplement.)
Lux GRip is attached to Lux only using Magsafe and I don’t want to trust him to hold my phone in place while walking quickly throughout the city.
The Xiaomi group, which the company manufactures itself and for the specific phone, works smoothly, and communicate safely by phone and work as expected with the virtual camera application. The iPhone is amazing as a daily load pamphlet, but it can be raised significantly if Apple creates devices accessories specifically for photographers.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra Variable Apprture
While I am on Xiaomi theme, the company’s 14 Ultra is definitely worth the theft. In particular, the changing hole in the main camera can move from openly open at F/1.7 and closes to F/4. Most phones have a fixed opening, and while the difference rarely noticed, when it comes to night photography, Xiaomi 14 Ultra was amazing.
By closing the hole, it managed to create original stars on light points such as lights in the streets in the same way that you will work with a narrow opening with a camera without a mirror and a lens on Traibud. I loved the pictures that I took on the phone because they seem more professional than the strange dots that were seen around the light sources in night photos from other phones.
Stars on the light of the street makes this image what it is.
I will not hold my breath on this because Xiaomi has not adhered to technology for a long time. While the company made a big deal around the 14 Ultra, when it launched 15 Ultra after a year, the changing hole was not anywhere to be seen. Mechanics may make the phone very expensive to produce it, or maybe there was not enough benefit – or demand – on stars in night pictures.
Either way, it was one of the most prominent for me, which is something that I would like to see as Apple implemented in IPhone 17 camera.
Xiaomi external lens cameras
Yes, I am talking about Xiaomi again. But also Sony, on low heat. in MWC earlier this year Xiaomi has offered a concept of the camera unit and the lens that attached to your phone, but it contains its great photo sensor and with greater high -quality optics. It mocks computing power, processing and more viewing of your phone, but it provides a much better picture quality than small cameras in your phone capable of achieving them.
Unlike most of the phone camera lenses, this lens contains actual iris blades to open and close the opening.
In fact, Sony had a similar idea itself throughout 2013, and its mobilization QX100 and QX10 cameras With a large photo sensor and full zooming lens, but no screen. Like the Xiaomi concept, it is connected to the phone to serve as the screen. Although the Sony product was not sold, it has never been taken off and the company has never returned to this coordination, while Xiaomi’s is still in the “concept” area.
I will definitely not be alone in getting awakening dreams about the Apple camera shape. The image processing of image processing from above can achieve it through iPhone devices with a much larger photo sensor and pro -standard optics to the absolute photography power of both Snappers and professionals alike.
Although I never expect the company to launch an actual independent camera, I love to see it creates a camera unit like Sony’s and Xiaomi that is designed to work alongside iPhone. Do I expect to see this in iPhone 17 Leave? Certainly no. Will I dream of it anyway? The curse of truth.
