I tried astrophotography on my iPhone 16 Pro Max to shoot galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters — these were my best captures

[admin]

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is an excellent shooter for low light, so I tried astrophotography to capture some of my favorite deep space objects.

What absolutely bias article. Writer talks about how superior the iPhone 16 pro max is as taking low light than other phones that have dedicated astrophotography mode built-in...yet doesn't show us any of the competitors phone's pictures to compare. Why? Because they would've put to shame what pictures the iPhone produced. It's a night and day difference between a phone with a astrophotography dedicated mode than one there isn't.

If they issued licences to journalists, this guy's should be revoked. If these are the "best" pictures taken on the iPhone 16 pro, then there is nothing good to be said about it. The quality here pales in comparison to the even the 5 year old pixel 5.
There's no side to side, no qualitative assessment just what must be lies or at least uninformed opinion, as base level experience with the Huawei, Samsung, or Google phones even 3-4 years ago would result in a very different article.

This is some blind idiocy. These results are mid as hell, pixel, Samsung, Vivo and Xiaomi all absolutely blow this out of the water

Mr. senior editor, are you serious ? Your audience can see the pathetic pictures the new phone clicked. Please dont post such articles which makes your audience question the website's credibility. Please read other people's comments and get an Android phone to know what is astrophotography.

I honestly would not even consider this as a perk to the iPhone. The result are well below average. I really hope this was not a selling point for this new phone. Anyway good article, cheers

LOL. I love the poor attempt at engagement and reaction farming. To be fair though, this site hasn't seen such activity in this thread in a long time. Tom's used to be respected long ago, now its as credible as DT.

Except for Samsung, the other two brands aren't available by the carriers in North America. Given this is a North American site its meaningless to bring this up without mentioning specific Samsung models.

I cannot believe I read this article. I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the night mode on this phone is way better then what's shown for the iPhone in this article. Everyone knows that Samsung has the best camera for night photos. I've had people that are die hard Apple users tell me my camera is better. I have an iPhone and S24 Ultra. I'll never fully go to Apple and get rid of my Samsung for multiple reasons, and the camera is one of them.
