Look, I’m not trying to be one of those people who go on safari and then won’t talk about anything else... but I just went on safari and it was upsettingly good. I saw amazing animals, marvelled at them through binoculars, and then struggled to take shots of them with my phone – as anyone who doesn’t own one of the best DSLR cameras on the market would.
I’ve got an iPhone 15 Pro as my personal handset, so I’m not exactly playing with a years-old device – but even with its creditable three-times zoom and solid low-light software, I sometimes struggled to avoid grainy shots. Halfway through one of the safari drives I went on, though, someone passed me their iPhone 16 Pro to get a better angle – and from then on I couldn’t find enough excuses to get my hands on it.
