So what? When I upgraded to the 12 Pro, my previous iPhone was the 7. I didn't feel the need to move to the 8, 9, 10, or 11. I may or may not upgrade to the 14 Pro because of the camera improvements, but whether or not I do, it doesn't matter. I'll keep what I have until it no longer does what I need it to do and then get something else.

I don't see Apple getting out of the smart phone market completely. The iPhone represents the LARGEST percentage of income for Apple. They're not just going to say, "That's enough". The iPhone, as we know it, may no longer be made, but they'll come up with something even more amazing.

I hear the iPhone 15 will be even better than the 14.

Yes, each successive model has been "better" than what it replaced. However, the improvements from one to the next have been incremental at best, for the most part. It's always been better to skip a version before upgrading as the improvements will be more noticeable. I didn't upgrade my iPhone 7 until the 12 came out. I thought the 7 was good at photos and video, but the 12 made the 7 look like a Kodak Brownie. OK, that was a stretch. But the 14 (Pro and ProMax) are so much better that I may upgrade now.

And your iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max photos won't look as good as they would with the RX100VII!

Seriously, I want both.

I am very pleased with the iPhone 14 Pro's camera. This was a much needed upgrade from my iPhone 7+.

I also purchased this phone, to see if the camera would allow me to NOT purchase an expensive pocket camera such as a Sony RX100VII. So far, I see no need to buy a pocket camera anymore.

As good as the iPhone cameras have become, especially with the last three versions of the iPhone, I find it hard to believe that the lenses in these are in the same realm as the Zeiss lenses that the Sonys come with or the Leica of the Lumix.

You have been assimilated into the Apple collective!

To those with other brands of smart phones I would tell them "Resistance is futile. You WILL be assimilated!"

I have a 14 Pro Max and the pictures I am taking are very impressive. For me it is a matter of always having a camera in my pocket and not missing shots as in the past. The only gripe that I have is that with the current set up, the default is to shooot JPEG. You have to remember to specifically turn RAW on. I would like to set it up so that RAW is the default. Does anyone know if that is possible?

Go into your Phone Settings, scroll down until you see CAMERA then then hit the ">" the first thing at the top of the page will show you Formats, Hit the ">" Turn on " Apple Pro RAW. Now go back to your camera and open it up. You should have a RAW icon at the top right of you screen. Here you can turn on an off RAW photos. If you turn it on, it will remain on for all your photos until you turn it off.

The cameras in the latest mobile phones (cell phones for you Yankees) are quite amazing but the phones' grip for taking photos leaves a lot to be desired compared to those specialised devices designed to only take photos. Hah!!

I suspect you just haven't learned how to hold it. Hah!
