I remember on the early uh iPhones that added a telephoto lens.

I think this was like the iPhone 67 era.

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, everyone.

The you know, they had this 2x telephoto and you would zoom in to try to use the telephoto, but because the sensor was so small, the phone would just secretly use the main sensor and be cropping in.

And I I think that situation has has mostly resolved itself because the sensors have gotten bigger and the apertures have gotten wider.

But I I I do think that's gonna be a real problem here.

You did mention something else though, Dom, which is that they added these pro controls.

And I think that is very, very interesting.

They added additionally they had some more photographic style uh options so that you can tune the style to the photos a little bit more.

And they did a whole suite of pro controls.

So that you can set the shutter speed, so you can set the aperture naturally, um, the and the white balance manually, which I think makes this a lot more powerful.

I wanna actually ask Cam, because you tested the Pixel 11, which doesn't necessarily have that uh, although I actually there there I think there maybe are some hidden pro controls, but they recently added a whole bunch of new uh their their take on photographic styles.

Um you got to use that for.

a bit.

Did that feel overwhelming to you at any point?

Or is that something as, you know, I think, tell me if I'm wrong, I think maybe I'm more casual photographer that you were able to get use out of.

I I find Apple's approach to like pro-photo, pro-video stuff to be fascinating.

Um, obviously they think and are are I think like very bullish on their phones being used as these professional photography and video tools.
