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.

Their events are now exclusively shot on their phones.

To me, I I see this and I go, uh, you know, obviously these results are incredibly impressive.

Um, but that also comes when you can spend millions of dollars on sets and lighting and cinematographers and additional lenses to put on around them.

But they are building in these these pro capabilities for, you know, I I think it's probably a small subset of people who can really make use of that power and would choose that over a dedicated camera.

But but I, you know, on the other hand, it's something to be celebrated.

Like I'm I'm not going to complain by any stretch.

Um, particularly I I I suspect that a lot of the software features may end up being more useful, more powerful to people than the ability to close the aperture down.

So uh one last thing on the iPhones.
