The 7+, 8+, X, XS, and XS Max all have dual rear-facing cameras, one with the 35mm full-frame camera equivalent of a 28mm focal length, and one with 56mm.

This means that one can get that closer-in image without losing detail by having to enlarge/crop a wide-angle image.

I would estimate that perhaps 70-80% of the images I've shot in the last 15 months have been shot at 2x.

Furthermore, newer devices have faster processors, and often more memory, which means that computational photography features (such as low-light compensation or depth-of-field) are possible that would be tedious and unfriendly, or frankly not possible, with older devices.

For example, I have been documenting the rebuilding of my home, post-fire, and almost all of my non-flash interior images (with only dim light filtering in from outside) look warm and well-lit.. Since I have owned and used a 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s, 5s, 6+, and X prior to my present XS Max, I can say with some authority that this would not have been true in years past.

If in decades past, you would have been happy carrying around a Kodak Brownie camera, then don't go for these new guys, at least not for the camera.

If you've been carrying around a Nikon since 1960, you might feel differently. I really like the higher quality lenses on my Nikon, and the better exposure control, and the ability to use a true zoom. But I'd rather carry an iPhone wherever I go than ALWAYS carry my Nikon.

Q: What's the best camera?

A: The one you have with you!
