What do you mean by “noticed the bright cameras”? Cameras look normal to me.

What about it? Looks like the one on my phone if I shine a light on it. Am I missing something?

2 of the cameras are literally fake, and I know for sure the real one is a shitty camera as bad as an iPhone 3GS, or maybe even an iPod touch 4th generation.

Lens are so different from my iphone 14 pro max and the led flash design is different, for mine it has the amber color in only one area which is the middle and around it is white while this one has one half of it white and the other half amber

Do you think 128GB is enough? I've seen a video that 128GB for iPhone 14 won't be enough anymore / not worth buying?

I hate to say this but it’s personal preference(ik right lol). For me, I don’t really take much pictures and have barely any apps other than Youtube, snapchat, twitter, reddit, instagram, my banking apps, and all of it combined including photos take up 27gb where photos only takes up 157 mb. The new lens are nice but if you want to take advantage of the full 48mp camera, you need to take in proraw and you need to enable it in settings->camera->proraw->change proraw from 12mp to 48mp. That’s where 128gb becomes obsolete since each photo taken in proraw 48mp takes up on average 75mb. If you want to have this phone for 5 years+ and want to take full advantage of the new lens i would say go for 256gb but if you still want to have fun with the new lens but won’t be taking every single photo with proraw then 128gb should be okay!

Yeah, thank you. I do like taking pictures of cars... but I have lots of random pictures on my phone too and my space is 66GB out of 128GB and I've had my 12 pro max since it came out

That’s when it becomes tricky because for me, I delete all the random stuff like memes when im done with them or random shots, and keep the important pictures. I also only take in just 12 mp and sometimes proraw when the moment is there. If you think you’ll need 256gb to have the peace of mind knowing you don’t need to worry about storage then i would say do it!

ItsWolf1442 OP t1_ixvlj8d wrote

Also, I just recently turned on ProRaw on my 12 and now it's at the top right when I take pictures making it handy. What does ProRaw actually do?...

TerribleChampion5213 t1_ixvoy4k wrote

Proraw for the 12 pro gives out the most details and the true to life colors possible and gives you room to edit the photo afterwards while just taking the photo without proraw will process the photo and edit it in real time giving you the best photo without you doing anything to it

Don’t look on Facebook, try going on Swappa.com or just buy it from Apple. I’d rather spend a couple extra bucks and have the real deal than try to save a few and end up with a paperweight. I’ve been scammed multiple times on Facebook with issues like iCloud lock, blacklisted, the phone specs didn’t match to what was listed, and now I just either buy my phones outright from swappa (reputable sellers, PayPal protection, any problems you have will get worked out) or from Apple directly.

I live in Ireland... idk if swappa will be a good option.

This Is a clone that might sell for cheaper than the Facebook dealer on a site like wish or alibaba

Isn’t this not just a protector for the lenses over them them?

HistoryAndScience t1_ixvsb5w wrote

I think it’s too close to call personally since the camera is at an angle and we can’t see the lenses clearly. Guy could just have a lens protector or some shit on it. However because it’s FB, you have to assume it’s a clone. Don’t buy it for sure

Buying off Facebook is always a stupid idea and getting a fake (or locked device) is always in the cards. The photo though shows nothing. Everything you are seeing is a result of using an overly bright flash in a photo of a highly reflective surface taken at an oblique angle. It causes internal reflection, differential illumination, and optical distortion. Avoid because it is Facebook, not because it looks fake. Yes, I am an actual photographer in this case....
