I was able to sort of reproduce the effects. Check to be sure your camera is set to 4:3 instead of 16:9 when taking the stills. The 16:9 is a slightly telephoto setting. I have to look into the 18mm from Moments. Thanks...
For me the benefit is discussions on handling techniques, in phone processing software and other hardware related items. The new iPhone 12 pro is reported to sport a lidar range finder. The big hardware sites are not interested in our “toys”, but we need to share here. I too post photos elsewhere that are often better than others post.
