Apple is quietly hoping you never open the Camera app settings.
I did.
There are 9 camera features hidden behind menus that turn the iPhone into a professional-grade camera ProRAW, Action Mode, 48MP full resolution, exposure lock, the 2x telephoto crop, portrait lighting, long exposure via Live Photos, the grid, and a Camera Control button most owners have never pressed properly.
A wedding photographer who shoots on an iPhone 16 Pro alongside her $4,000 Sony told me: "Half my Instagram portfolio is iPhone shots.
Nobody can tell which camera took which photo. The difference isn't the hardware it's the 9 settings that are turned off by default."
Most iPhone owners point, tap the shutter, and accept whatever the phone gives them. The phone can give them dramatically more. They've just never asked.
Here's every setting and why professional photographers turn them on first 🧵
MOST PEOPLE PAID $1200 FOR AN IPHONE AND NEVER UNLOCKED THE CAMERA IT IS ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF.
Apple left the best settings turned off.
