I'm more than happy with my 2022 iPhone SE 3rd Gen *except* for the camera. While it might be 12MP, the digital zoom is hot garbage.

Latest example is this very pixelated sambar hind I just about tripped over this morning while out for a walk on our place. She wandered out of the bush about 20 m away, so I froze in place and pulled out my phone to take a photo.

The best camera is still the one you have access to in the moment, but I'd have loved a clear and detailed photo.
