StationGrey

Goes without saying that you have to take the claims of a compulsive liar and imbecile with a significant pinch of salt, though.

Man's a dick.

Thanks for the confirmation and approval of my explanation!


(Also a profesional photographer btw)

Except of course this makes no sense whatsoever as all phone lenses are already 'wide open' only, ie. they already use the least depth of field available to them.

The ability to reduce the aperture would minimise even further the 'creamy bokeh' effect, which is already all but non-existent on tiny phone lenses/sensors anyway.

The only possible benefit would be a very small potential increase in image quality on a sunny day when you *didn't* want to have that nice effect, perhaps for a landscape. It's marginal though.

I've just received my T9 and am a little disappointed.

When I first tested out of the box (on MBP M1 Max), I got about 1600Mb/s, which is good but not 2000.

However, that was still formatted as ExFAT. I reformatted to APFS and got 950Mb/s instead. Hmmm....

I went back to ExFat and then tried to move my Apple Photos library to it, but it told me I couldn't then sync to iCloud from here as it wasn't APFS or HFS. So had to go back to APFS and again seeing 950.

Maybe I should've saved some money and just bought a T7.
