That\u2019s 6.5 years of engineering and 2.8x the price. A more appropriate comparison would be a $1,000 camera from even 2008 and I doubt the iPhone would match its quality. I fired up photos and looked at 2009. Looks like I was primarily shooting with a Canon Powershot G9 which was $600 and the photos look very similar to what I\u2019m shooting today with my iPhone 8 Plus minus the software effects like filters and portrait mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pro-iPhone \u2018photographers\u2019 like to paint the picture of how amazing the iPhone is at pictures but I still don\u2019t see it.
