Well, digital zoom is doesn't add anything. Still a questionable defense but if you search on Google for "pinch to zoom interpolation" you will find countless news articles to exactly this topic. I ask myself why do I even find these articles? Has nobody ever searched for interpolation algorithm for Apple? Results like this make me feel I live in FakeWorld®. Arstechnica has become abysmal, but a lot of other tech sites too. Not that this is relevant to the argument of the defense at all. It is complete bollocks, but I still would like to know what interpolation method the zoom of the standard image app on iOS uses (standard, not multiple lens magic). Is this some corporate secret from Apple and nobody knows? At least the articles could have looked it up. Aside from that there is merit to not resample an image and look at the "raw" data. Image forensics is regulated I believe and I don't know if they would accept Apple zoom either to be honest. That would be interesting to ask a professional, perhaps a real journalist could help here? I think the case if high profile enough that you can send someone to buy the largest TV one could find.
