But what's really happening is that the iPhone has gotten better as rescuing photos. Back in the days of the iPhone 7, if I shot my subject backlit by the sun, the result would be unusable. At best, you'd see a silhouette. The iPhone can now take those once-unsalvageable and make them passable. Sometimes even good.

The tradeoff is that today's novice photographers have lost the feedback loop we had back when we learned photography on big, dumb cameras. When a camera never fails, you can be fooled into thinking you've mastered photography.
Apple is in the position where they design a camera for everyone. I don't mean all of us reading camera reviews on this blog. I don't even mean all of us in this hemisphere, or country, or culture. I mean every person, of every age, on the planet. And if they get an unusable photo where other cameras give an overprocessed shot of a loved one, they will pick the camera that gives them something over nothing at all.
We're photographers who make camera apps for other photographers. We want the freedom to take bad photos.
