Are we **sure** Apple isn’t cheating like Samsung did when taking photos of the Moon?

#ShotOnIPhone

A bright, nearly full moon shining in a dark night sky. Some faint, wispy clouds are visible around the moon, but the rest of the sky is mostly black, allowing the moon to stand out clearly in the center of the image. The details on the surface, such as crater-like markings, are also visible.

@podfeet I shot this tonight with 8x on my new 17 Pro Max. I'm pretty sure a cheat version would be less grainy than this.

@podfeet Yes! I’m hoping to get some good shots of the wolf moon tonight, too.

@podfeet I’ll have to try again, but I tried a couple months ago and didn’t get anything half this good. Of course, it’s winter and I don’t want to spend too much time trying to get one now either.

@TeeeBear I’m succcessful about one time out of four, so keep trying. I tap on the moon on the screen to set focus, and then I usually drag down on the little sun thingy to lower the exposure. Like I said it doesn’t work most of the time. When it doesn’t work is when it doesn’t really focus. I’m probably exaggerating my success rate too…

@podfeet reminds me of this xkcd

A hand-drawn line graph on lined notebook paper, showing "Frequency of Miracles" on the y-axis and "Time" on the x-axis. The graph starts with fluctuating high values, then drops sharply at a point marked "Camera Invented," stays low for a period, then rises again at a point marked "Photoshop Invented," where the fluctuations resume. The graph humorously suggests that reports of miracles decreased with the invention of the camera but increased again with the invention of Photoshop.
