Is it better for amateurs the just want to take a ton of photos for memories? Or should I just stick to whatever the default is?

I went from a Samsung Note 20 ultra to a 13PM and the pictures this phone takes are downright embarrassing for me to post online. I miss my Samsung cameras so much.

iMessage is the only reason I got an iPhone and it’s great. But after 10 years of watching YouTube tech journalists do these head to head comparisons of Samsung and iPhone flagship camera tests and then always giving them an equal score or slightly favoring the iPhone im convinced the tech industry on YouTube are all paid Apple shills. These photos and videos fucking suck.

From what I’ve heard you need to pay to restore the backup

Yeah, it's legit. Good program but not free.

I agree with you, I’m most likely not gonna switch lol. I think I just want something new and exciting, but apple does such a good job at sucking in their consumers.

If I were to switch it’d probably be the Galaxy S23. Everything I’ve seen/ read pretty much agrees with you in that the tensor chips still need some work.

It's honestly been fine! The last Android's I had were the S8+ and OnePlus 5 and it's come a very long way since then. Unlike you, I'm not entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. The only thing I had was an AW, which was up until some point last year, and it was only a Series 1 lmao. You're not switching, I hate to be harsh/brunt, but you're just not.

While I like the Pixel, it's just not ready for primetime, IMO. And that's mostly because the Tensor chip just isn't energy efficient enough. Sure, I knew going from the 13PM to a regular Pixel 7 was going to be a huge downgrade in the battery life department, but it's worse than I thought it was going to be. Rumors say the new the Tensor G3 will be a big step forward, but I don't think it'll be enough.

So with the leaks/rumors of the 15 PM/Ultra looking very good, I'm likely jumping back to the iPhone in the fall. And that's mainly because I don't take a lot of pictures. So while I think the iPhone is pathetic in the camera department, it's very low on my list of requirements

Wow that’s… really bad.

It’s legit but their licensing is so bad, it’s per serial number.

So if you get a new iPhone you have to buy the program again.

Imazing changed their license type and now it’s a rip off. It’s per serial number

The camera on the 13 is basically the same as as the 12.

It’s about 0.17 freedom units.

Duplicate the photo before you reduce sat, keep 2 copies and use 1 as your mess around

Somewhat off topic, but how was the switch to android? and how locked into the apple ecosystem are you?

I’ve been considering switching back to android after about 5 years but I have a macbook, airpods, and apple music.

Reddit can be a weird place sometimes Xd. Still don’t understand why you’re being downvoted when what you said was true

It’s my primary backup tool it’s legit

I use it for backups. I like that I can backup to an external hard drive or pretty much any place I tell it to. I have also used it to print out iMessage threads and it works great for that.

I have nothing of value to add here, but if I learned anything on reddit, it’s that whoever comments to the downvoted one gets a decent amount of upvotes

My first thought was “no obviously not” then I remembered that I am an American and I don’t know what a mm is

I used in the past. I paid for the app but I don't use it anymore. It is legit and all but I found it to be super slow even using it with an M1 Mac mini and an iPhone 14 Pro.

In theory it should, but it often does not. The data will remain on your phone and be continually backed up into iCloud. Further, there is no easy way to go back and delete all URLs. Lastly, you would be losing that data permanently, while using the described backup method, you lose nothing.

Best iTunes alternative you can find.

Surprisingly, it works to some point! Any way to bring back the colours without ruining the picture once I’m done reducing saturation ?

Doesn’t deleting message’s conversation/ bubble get rid of them ? (Well in 30days cause it sits in recently deleted)

This year I plan to upgrade to more storage. I love taking them Raw but I always get filled up.

dont even get me started on the annoyance of the processed/cartoon like filter😅.. I have a late 2021 MBP and the cam has a smoothening filter u cant get rid of..

ive sent feedback to apple about this..
