Thankful for 5× Zoom
I’m a longtime “small phone proponent” and always chose the smallest iPhone available. I went from the iPhone 12 mini then to 13 mini1 and swore I’d hold onto it as long as possible. Of course, capitalist consumerism had plans of its own.
When the iPhone 15 Max Pro was announced with a 5× telephoto lens I knew I had to upgrade2. Going from mini to Max was an adjustment but every time I punch-in and get the shot I’m reminded that I made the right choice. Today I got a picture of the baby with grandma, and I simply could not have captured it with my previous phone.
Here’s to you, iPhone 15 Pro Max. Here’s to you.
I don’t usually get a new phone every year but after hearing rumors that the mini would be discontinued, I decided to go for the upgrade. The bigger battery, better camera, and (believe it or not) smaller notch were all selling points. Plus it came in red. ↩︎
What put me over the edge: last fall we knew we were expecting so I needed the best camera possible to capture the little one. Like I said: capitalism. ↩︎
