I just want them to include both lenses.

It's so dumb, I can't for the life of me decide between Pro and Pro Max. The quality between 3x and 4.9x is terrible on the PM, but of course it maxes out a lot later. I don't want to think about which shots I'm taking more of, I want to be versatile. And I can't decide whether I want to miss out on zooming 10x with it still looking okay-ish, or whether I want the intermediate range to be less lossy. I'd even give up the wide angle for that, who even needs that?

Just please, give us the 3x and 5x (or potentially more if they do upgrade it) in the same phone and you'll have my money.

    Those of us who like to photograph stuff like landscapes and architecture. And it's also super useful for video being the most stable lens and not needing to look at your phone when recording - it's the only one I use for stuff like snowboarding.

    Yeah, I’ve shot tons of reels for clients using the ultrawide as the primary lens. So who even needs it? Probably people actually using the cameras for work, also known as “pros.” Lol

    Alright, I take it back.

    I just have bad experiences with ultrawides, because the people in my sports club always film in ultrawide, saying "it looks better", and it really annoys me because you end up seeing NOTHING of the subject, but instead you can see the floor and roof and 3 of the 4 walls in that gigantic hall. And on top of that, the sensor is worse now too.
