Currently playing with the new iPhone Pro and here are my thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

iPhone Pro noir monochrome mode, no adjustments in bright light. Normal camera view. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  1. Camera is very good. RICOH GR III still feels at least 5-10x better in terms of image quality and performance. But for the most part, the iPhone pro camera is quite solid. I like the noir monochrome mode, but the new UI\/UX is extremely complex and overall bad. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have some design simplification suggestions later. <\/li>
  2. The feel and finish (matte) is excellent. The irony is that it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t \u00e2\u20ac\u0153feel good\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u201d you just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really think about it. Perhaps it feels almost like skin, therefore the feeling of the phone feels invisible? (Nassim Taleb\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quote that the best technology is invisible).
    <\/li>
  3. Haptic feedback feels very solid, clicky, and satisfying. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m excited to see what new innovations can happen with the haptic feedback. For example when I save a photo or do something, the haptic feedback makes me feel as if I \u00e2\u20ac\u0153did something\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d prefer haptic feedback on typing, something Android has done well a long time ago.

    The ultimate device?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      My belief is that the iPhone Pro is the best mobile device created of all time. In theory you can do all your (all day) computing on this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Should I buy one?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Now perhaps the question is\u00e2\u20ac\u201d is it worth it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      I think so. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s certainly no downside, besides the cost. In my mind, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still cheaper than buying a car (or owning a car), 1000x cheaper than buying a home, and much better value than buying an expensive watch, handbag, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Now another question \u00e2\u20ac\u201d this or iPhone 11?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Honestly either seems a good option. Just get the 11\u00e2\u20ac\u201c for the ultra wide angle lens. Super smart idea \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the 2x telephoto on iPhone Pro not necessary. But the ultra wide angle lens is a game changer. I believe ultra wide can allow us to make far more innovative and creative compositions. To change up our perspective of seeing the world and embodied reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Pixel 4?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The low light on iPhone Pro and 11 seems better than previous generations, but on the Pixel the night sight mode seems to be at least 5x better for low light when compared to iPhone Pro. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be curious to compare the cameras of the iPhone Pro and Pixel 4. My gut says the Pixel will be the better camera (they got better computational photography scientists at Google), but in terms of a productivity and creative device, it seems the iPhone will (always) be superior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        An option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Own BOTH the iPhone Pro AND the Google Pixel (best of both worlds). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
