'One in a Million' iPhone Photo Shows Three Versions of the Same Woman
I know we discussed this in the past, but I thought the above was another interesting development on just how much different smartphone cameras can behave from traditional ones. I suspect the result above was due to the iPhone taking multiple images and then using computational/AI tech to produce what we'd "expect" to see, ensuring there was no blurred movements. Another example is when Samsung was found to be faking the moon. From a personal perspective, the last smartphone camera I actually liked using was the iPhone XR. Every iPhone camera since has just felt overcooked, IMO.
I know through apps, one can shoot RAW, but I even wonder there just how RAW that truly is. It could just be the computational camera work but forgoes the typical JPEG/HEIC compression step. I know even our dedicated cameras have "high res" modes that use pixel shift tech, and they can output RAW, even though technically more than one photo was taken. At least then, you would know why there were stitching errors if movement was involved.
