After years of dragging her feet, my human finally got a new iPhone. And since she does so much work on her phone, she sprung for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. We need the longer battery life for shooting live video and spending all day at cat shows. And the Pro has an awesome camera. As you might have figured out, my human is something of a camera and photo accessory junkie.
The main difference in the camera between the regular iPhone 14 and the 14 Pro models is the Pro has a telephoto lens, giving it a 3x optical zoom, and a 15x digital zoom. The regular 14 only has 5x digital zoom. Plus you are able to shoot 48 megapixel raw shots with the Pro (although that gets into a photographer geek area most of you don’t care about).
You’ll see how useful the zoom is in a minute, but there is also a wide angle feature that captures even more than my human’s regular camera! My human used it, and wound up having to crop her knees out of the photo because the lens was that wide!
The optical zoom works really well for portraits of me. My human has always disliked the iPhone portrait setting because it doesn’t look natural to her, like a photo with an actual camera would. Using the zoom function makes for a more flattering portrait than just going in close with a static lens.
My human still likes her regular camera better since she can control more of the functions. But the iPhone does one thing well that her camera doesn’t — it takes sharp photos of me sitting up! Like, literally, she took several sitting up photos of me in a row and they all came out in focus.
And in the middle of our practice photo session, look who showed up! The peach kitty. And this is where that zoom function came in really handy.
This is how far away from us he actually was. My human was able to take some good photos of him without him even knowing.
Once he shows up, he usually sticks around for a long time and watches us. From a safe distance.
He kept distracting me and my human had already gotten a bunch of photos, so she said it was time to go inside. Because I am a good kitty, I immediately headed for the door when she told me to.

the new camera on the iphone 14 really did take nice photos. Of course you take nice photos any time.
Peach kitty is very pretty and it was nice to see a good photo.
You are always a good kitty!
Peach kitty is gorgeous. The new phone takes great photos
He looks like such a sweetheart!
Those are lovely photos. Peach Kitty is a very handsome stalker.
You human has a better reason than many of us to get the latest and best
Iphone. She will do things with it many of us wouldn’t…or couldn’t.
Mr. Peach kitty has filled out and matured over the past year. He’s quite
handsome.
You are so photogenic! I’m glad your human found the 14 Pro Max. My daughter has that and loves the camera. I’m also glad to see peach kitty in the pictures. He looks sweet.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro, and I love it. Have not really used it to its potential, though, LOL! In someways ii takes better pictures than my Canon SX40, but in other ways it is superior. I hardly use the Canon anymore. I do like that zoom feature! Its better than the Canon for sure.
Nice pictures and what great images of your ‘stalker’!
Those are all fantastic photos. I am glad your little friend is still around.

Wow those are some amazing options! Our mom just got the newest iPhone SE but it doesn’t have those options. Still she is happy with it because her other phone was getting pretty old.
I like your friend, Summer! The mom finally got a new iPhone 14 Pro too…but not the Max version. I see lots of photo taking in my future.
Nice pictures of you Summer. Phone cameras do have their uses and are easier to carry around than a big DSLR.
Your pictures look good on this blog 🙂 That’s what matters …right?

My wife has an iPhone and I do like the camera but I don’t like iPhones. It seems it is designed for the dumbest person on Earth so if you want to do something smart, you can’t. For example, on my wife’s phone, there is no option for forcing the flash, so you can’t add a fill light. Also, learning that Apple is helping the Chinese government quash the personal freedoms of its citizens makes me not want to give money to them.
