- People hardly ever use 10x zoom
- 10x optical zoom is hard to stabilize
- Aperture trumps zoom
I’d agree - given the choice between a 10x f/5 and a 5x f/2.8, I’m going with the fast lens every time.
I mean, the only reason I hardly ever use 10x zoom is that it looks like a shitty impressionist painting. If optical zoom made it look better, I would use it often.

Exactly, Apple is comparing, er… bananas and kumquats.
Digital zoom is trash and nobody wants it. It is not an indicator of any lack of interest in OPTICAL zoom.
It looks awful on devices that have optical zoom, too. There isn’t enough light for computational photography to bail out the shitty physics of any of them.
Seriously, getting something serviceable out of 1x on a bright day out of that little tiny sensor and lens already takes a boatload of math. The input data isn’t good.
I would accept that as an explanation if it was the one they gave.
Literally took picture of my cat seconds ago before reading this post at 10x because I didn’t want to stand up
I think there’s value in providing 10x even apart from photography. I think 10x would also open up for capabilities beyond just simple everyday photography.
That said if the aperture suffers, then that’s a good enough reason to avoid it for now.
Never mind zoom, I wish they would fix the lens flare issues with bright lights, my previous Samsung phones did a better job in that regard
Apple: We don’t innovate, we force compromise.
Yeah! Who needs to believe in science or physics!? I wanna hate what I wanna hate!!
Why study when you can plagiarize?!
A 10x lens would be so tight that it would be useless most of the time, even for fusion. We either need an additional 70mm equivalent lens or a proper mechanical zoom lens before we can justify a good telephoto zoom.

no zoom gib mony
