New iphone X macro lense is truly stunning.

Been playing around with it today and the results are just amazing. Many more to come.

Such a night and day difference. The whole reason I ended up with the last 7+ was to have a better camera and have to admit it was disappointing and saw no difference from the 7 or even my 6. Love that the X is smaller and exponentially better.

Love those iphone photos! Maybe it's finally time to ditch my iphone 5, which takes poor photos by today's standards.

If you don't want a big (or huge) phone, the SE is a great option (6s guts + smaller form factor). Good camera as well, but no macro like this admittedly.

Handled an X today at Best Buy, and I didn't like it. The 'regular' 8 though, I really like (and want, but we'll see).

Didn't have a chance to compare the 8 with the X, but from what I understand the cameras are similar except for the X's 2.8 telephoto and a 10X digital zoom vs the 8's 5X. I think going anything less than the 8 will be quite the downgrade photo wise. I honestly haven't seen a major iphone camera difference since the 5 to 6 and they definitely made up for the lost time.

Yep, I hope they make an SE-sized phone with newer internals, soon. It's the biggest I'll go, after coming backwards in size from the iPhone 6.

The SE is 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30 and the X 5.65 x 2.79 x 0.30 in. I was actually thrilled they went down in size for the premium model. I was expecting a + size again and was pleasantly surprised.

Great shots. One of the reasons I upgraded was for a new camera. I think mine arrives on the 22 at the latest.
My 6+ took too many drops and the image stabilization has been messed up for some time now. Rarely post pics anymore as they are bad. Looking forward to taking watch shots again

Nice. You can even see the laser etched crown on the crystal of the SD50.

Oh yeah! I missed that the first time around, but was noticing the cyclops reflections back and forth, which is super cool.
