I recently upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro, and I have to say, I’m really impressed with the difference in photo quality compared to my previous phone. I used to have the iPhone 8, and while it was great at the time, I often found that when I zoomed in on photos, the image would lose clarity and become quite blurry. It could be frustrating, especially when trying to capture those little details that make a photo special.
With the iPhone 11 Pro, I’ve noticed such a big improvement. The images feel sharper, clearer, and much more vibrant, even when zooming in. It’s made taking photos so much more enjoyable and has given me the confidence to rely on my phone camera more often, rather than always needing to bring my Canon along.
Don’t get me wrong – I still love my Canon and it will always have its place, especially for more intentional photography. But realistically, I don’t always have it with me, and that’s where this phone really shines. Being able to capture beautiful moments on the go, without needing extra equipment, makes such a difference.
Most of these photos were taken while I was out enjoying the coastline, and I was especially drawn to the movement of the water and the way it met the sand. The frothy waves created such a soft, calming effect, and those ended up being some of my favourite shots from the day. There’s something about the ocean that always feels grounding, and it was nice to be able to capture that feeling so easily.
The rest of the photos were just moments I didn’t want to miss – simple, everyday scenes that felt worth remembering. That’s what I love most about having a good phone camera: it makes it easier to appreciate and document those little moments that might otherwise pass by unnoticed.
These three were my favourites, I particularly love the frothy water against the sand.
These are the rest that I took. I find the quality is very much improved from my previous iPhone – on zooming in the 8 used to get quite blurry which could be frustrating. And while it’s never going to be as good as my Canon, I’m very happy to be able to take much better photos with my phone now as I don’t always take the Canon.
