> not the AI scaled slop most of these cameras produce nowadays
As someone who has only been an Apple user for phones (and Canon, Sony and Leica elsewhere), AI or otherwise, Apple is not immune to relatively heavy post processing in software. They're certainly not inserting moons, but even the raw sensor data has had some uplift to it.
I still think there is a line in the sand between post processing which is mostly about fixing the exposure/noise, and straight up AI up scaling which hallucinates details.
And I fear the more tech reviewers do these pixel peeping side by side comparisons between phones, the greater the incentive to cheat.
