iPhone 12 vs 14 (pro max)

I don’t know if it’s necessarily better but it takes some tweaking to get the perfect shot with the 14 Pro Max. I have definitely been able to take better shots with my 14 Pro Max versus the 12 Pro Max but again…it took some playing around with the settings and features in the conditions I’m shooting in.

I also feel like the pictures in the iPhone 12 have more realness and deepness. The textures in the iPhone 14 look fake, like they're rendered in a video game. The images in the iPhone 12 looked hyper-realistic, like I had captured reality and was holding it in my hand. Everything in the 14, the pictures and the videos, looks super FLAT.
