Will the new iPhone 17 Pro make me want to stop carrying my “real” camera? This is a semi-regular post for me. Each time I update my phone, I ask this question. Though I didn’t test the RAW capture this time. The short answer is no. The long answer is, only if I can’t figure out a way to bring it with me safely. It’s a damn good phone camera, though. This was last night’s sunset in Santa Clarita.

I think the answer will always be no.
I think you’re right. 🙂
