Why did they put the 5x only in the Max version... im on 13pro and can switch next year to 15pro. But im missing some new features or what "next gen" portraits do mean.
I will wait what Pixel 8 Pro will do, maybe this year they have more to offer.
(putting my scum bag business exec hat on with obj to pump the numbers)
Because they want you to splurge on the highest tier phone.
Technically, I don’t see a reason what would prevent them from doing so. If Apple didn’t pair the components with the phone, there’s no reason why you couldn’t buy a broken pro max, swap out the camera on the pro, and have 5X Zoom
That's my take too, I don't buy their excuse. They did this in the past on I think the 11 series. The Pro Max had IIRC a better wide angle camera or some such and they withheld it from the regular Pro until the following year.
Annoying but it makes it easier for me to wait out an upgrade when I really don't need one anyway.
There could be space limitation, I couldn’t tell from the keynote images if the 5x module was larger.
Whatever the reason I don’t particularly like that the Pro and Pro Max are diverging in features other than display size. I would prefer to have the best cameras but I don’t necessarily want the biggest screen, this now means making more trade offs when picking an iPhone.
Yeah i hate the big Screen, i like the size of the normal Pro. But i miss the 5x zoom, that nearly all Androids do have on that price tag.
