Yes, this is exactly the sort of thing I have been feeling in the advancement of smartphone photography compared to regular cameras. It also helps to explain why tiny smartphone cameras are producing such unbelievable results compared to compact cameras with larger sensors. It’s all in the built-in computer power. The first noticeable clue was depth mode. This represents a major departure in the way cameras work. It’s hard to imagine how a traditional camera could add additional lenses.I came across this article on TechCrunch today:

It truly is amazing how far we have come since the advent of mobile photography. It is easy for us to look at the lens on the back of the phone and be completely ignorant of the technology required to capture light, process it, and display it on screen: not to mention send it to a printer...Yes, this is exactly the sort of thing I have been feeling in the advancement of smartphone photography compared to regular cameras.

I find this very exciting. Rather than taking away any mistique it bumps it up a whole order of magnitude. Current developments are nothing short of amazing.
One thing I’ve been wondering is why we don’t see more happening in stereo photography. We have the tiny cameras, and multiple cameras. 3D is already an established interest. The 3D viewers already exist. The smartphone has enough size to be able to place two cameras at a distance apart to mimic human two eye viewing.
The computational photography aspect is working more with video and moving the camera to provide the sense of 3D using the old wigglegram technique. We could have the real thing.
That's $2227 if you need 12.9" version with the $700+ upgrade to 1 terabyte of storage and the $200 Apple keyboard case and the latest Apple pencil for $130 extra.Here’s an interesting article. It still has to do with mobile photography but can be moved if necessary.
I guess I’ll hold off a while on upgrading my iPad Pro...

It doesn't seem like a lot when you put it that wayThat's $2227 if you need 12.9" version with the $700+ upgrade to 1 terabyte of storage and the $200 Apple keyboard case and the latest Apple pencil for $130 extra.
I'm with you Brian! I will probably step in at the 256GB level and grab that fancy iPencil too That's $1278+taxI can tell you with some certainty that retouching photos or drawing with an iPad Pro 12.9” and Apple Pencil is Much nicer than working with a drawing tablet on a computer. Going back to my Wacom tablet on my computer is just so clunky.
I hope my iPad Pro has many more years especially as I hate the removal of the earphone jack.Here’s an interesting article. It still has to do with mobile photography but can be moved if necessary.

I love mine. It is getting a bit long in the tooth now as it is the 1st gen iPad Pro. It should be quite a switch to the glitziest modelI hope my iPad Pro has many more years especially as I hate the removal of the earphone jack.

It’s like having a diamond grill. No one needs it but...I see the terabyte of storage option adds around US$700 to the ‘build’.
Is that a ‘just because we can’ inflation? Or is there something about iOS that makes upgrading the storage more complex?
It's business as usual for Apple. They've always charged high prices for RAM upgrades.I see the terabyte of storage option adds around US$700 to the ‘build’.

Just ran across this among the rubble: The old Apple Pencil won't work with the new iPad Pro (and the new Pencil won't work with the old Pro).I love mine. It is getting a bit long in the tooth now as it is the 1st gen iPad Pro. It should be quite a switch to the glitziest model
OMG...Just ran across this among the rubble: The old Apple Pencil won't work with the new iPad Pro (and the new Pencil won't work with the old Pro).
Yes. I read that too. The new pan I’m has wireless charging and a button, programmable, I believe. Ah, progress....Just ran across this among the rubble: The old Apple Pencil won't work with the new iPad Pro (and the new Pencil won't work with the old Pro).
