Here is the difference between the results of the moon photo on July 21, 2024 from the iPhone 14 and a 2017 digital camera (old). The location of the photo was taken is the same, and the photographer is also the same.
These photos are unedited, just cropped so the moon is right in the middle.

And this is a photo from a digital camera

The difference is clear, right? For Apple fanboys, it’s good, right?
Anyway, why is it different?
- The size of a digital camera lens is large, much larger than a smartphone lens. Physics can’t lie, the amount of light that enters is clearly more than a digital camera.
- The size of the digital camera sensor is large. Physics can’t lie, the amount of light recorded is clearly more.
- The focal length of the lens is also different.
So obviously the results are different.
