    Someone should assemble a chain of iPhone camera review comparison images published over the years, 18 → 17, 17 → 16, 16 → 15 etc. showing how each year's new phone being so much better than the previous year's somehow becomes perceivably bad next to the next year's phone.

      Youtuber Marques Brownlee did this (as a short). It's actually not so noticeable, it's only once you get to the very oldest phones that it's visibly worse.

      the difference will be in things like low-light, telephoto lenses, video capability, HDR, and lots of other things that don't show up in most photos (including that one)

        And it sort of reach a plateau where for normal consumer it doesn&#x27;t matter much other than zoom. Which is important to a certain extend.

        I wish there is some tech in the pipeline, that in the next 5 - 10 years we could get decent pictures quality without the huge bump.
