One thing to note about these photos is that the close-up shots were taken with the 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, which is one of Canon’s best lenses. The iPhone 15 Pro Max being capable of taking shots that are that close to the output from that lens is unbelievable. I think the iPhone would have nailed the bokeh on the crane shot in Portrait mode, which the camera can now detect automatically and switch to with near-zero latency with a single tap on the viewfinder. That said, a comparison of night-time shots would have been more valuable. This is where DSLRs shine, especially in non-flash high ISO conditions.
