I miss 3x optical telephoto

I still miss and prefer the 3x telephoto on the 14 Pro Max over all the newer ones. I’ve taken some of my best shots on that thing. It was the best in my opinion.

The 5x on 16 Pro Max is too zoomed that you have to zoom out super far with your feet.

With 4x optical telephoto on 17 Pro Max, it’s a little better but it’s just not the same.

3x optical telephoto is where it’s at.

These photos were taken by me on the 14 Pro Max. No other edits because I’m not really good at that other than pressing the auto “adjust”. Otherwise natural shots.
