iPhone Duo vs iPhone 15 Pro Max: A Photographer’s Honest Test

iPhone Duo vs iPhone 15 Pro Max: five blind-judged rounds of real photo and video tests, from studio lights to full dark. Round five is the one that might change your answer. If you're on a Pro Max and eyeing the Duo, here's exactly what you give up, what you gain, and which one fits how you shoot. HOW I TESTED Both phones on the same tripod, in the same spot Apple's stock camera app, no edits Every pair judged blind, twice: once at a glance, and once zoomed in the way a client would look at a print Bonus: my Sony A7 V shot the same golden-hour scene as a real-camera reference (not scored) Did you pick A or B at the start? Tell me in the comments, and be honest.
