If you want to do a ‘phone-forward’ approach to photography, get Google Pixel, not iPhone:

Being an impartial judge, the iPhone Pro (while it is great) doesn’t have the same computational photography power of Google Pixel. Why? Just follow the Google AI blog and see how they are killing it with computational photography in their Google Pixel devices.

Note:

1. Face Mesh for Google Pixel
2. MediaPipe Iris
3. Night Sight (faaaaar better than iPhone)

Why is Google Pixel killing it? Simple — they have poached the best in computer vision. Apple is just trying to keep up.
