Yet, we really aren't doing that much nowadays.
Current phones are absolute powerhouses, capable of rendering 3d graphics in real time while doing God knows what more. And what does the vast majority of the public do?
Mesagging, vídeos, social network. That's it. That's really it.
Why in Gods name do we require modern phones for this? If someone could do that almost a decade ago, why should requirements go UP? It's maddening, how in the world are we doing stuff worse rather than better with time? To make developers life easier? Is the entirety of the market subsidizing app creation? It's madness

- asdff 4y agoWe already do see diminishing returns. The lenses on a phone like the iphone 14 pro show pretty bad lens flair in certain lighting situations. I've compared it side by side between a friends 14 pro and my SE2 and I just don't get these effects with my much simpler lens. I suppose the solution is some sort of a hood or more elements for that big lens on the 14 (the way a larger camera would solve these issues), but its already large enough where the phone no longer sits flat on a table even with a case. Some threads showing the double imaged effect which is especially pronounced with neon signs: https://old.reddit.com/r/iPhoneography/comments/yhsy8s/iphone_14_pro_edited_with_vsco/ https://old.reddit.com/r/iPhoneography/comments/yhsy8s/iphon... https://old.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/zu7jmj/iphone_14_pro_photos_with_neon_lights/ https://old.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/zu7jmj/iphone_14... Apparently this has been going on since at least the iphone 12 and 13: https://old.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/q06u1y/insane_lens_flares_as_of_a_week_ago_any_fix/ https://old.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/q06u1y/insane_lens_...
