My issue is that Apple talk about it like it’s optical zoom. It’s not. It’s equivalent. 🤭
I don’t doubt the results will be better than 16PM at 8x with crop. But this marketing speak irks me. Try to confuse us.
The more I look, the more the vanilla 17 is a “pro” phone without the tele camera. Sudah ada promotion.
What they mean was 4x with 48mp optical , and x8 will be as good as with 12mp optical. So let wait the youtube review and see how true is it , i doubt with daylight should be ok but lowlight will be GG.
iphone 17 is good buy if u dont use the telephoto alot , dual 48mp camera system is more than enough for daily unless u are kind person that always visit to concert

, and with only 177gram , caring a slim magsafe powerbank wont be suffering

The only thing have to concern is after 1 or 2 year , the small capacity battery starting degrade , and u will need more charge per day , that is very common issues for small phone. China phone starting to slash big battery like 6000-6500 on their 6.3" phone , thank to silicone carbon.
Really wish Apple can upgrade to SiCarbon battery on next launching , now i like small phone more alot than big phone (my ip16PM)

(because i just downgrade from 6.8" 5000mAh android phone to 6.67" with 6200mAh battery , and i know that was a GREAT move , super happy with smaller and light phone yet big battery , i aim 6.3" with bigger battery on future upgrade)
