I guess it depends if you want a large print out of it.

I havent seen a camera phone that gives A4 print of acceptable quality much less A1, A0.
I dont have an iPhone12 but my iPhone 7+ doesnt produce A4 prints that I find acceptable.

I think Graham is going to attempt a 16x12 print. ;-)

The wife has an iPhone 11 Pro. (I still have just a phone ) She read that the 11 was a major leap forward on camera quality compared to previous models....so bought one and sold her Panasonic FZ2000. She had problems with her hands and was finding holding even the bridge camera too much. 

The iQ of the 11 is quite superb but I think the wide angle lens (it has 3) is a little distorted (barrelling). The other 2 lenses are fine.


I think we are getting to a point where we must question whether printing large prints is the natural end product of our hobby.

Graham still exhibits his work so is a more regular printer. I personally haven't printed anything for 5 years....when my A3+ printer packed up.
I never replaced it, believing the local print shop could fill that gap. I've also used the online printers that Graham recommended for digital photographic printing....they were excellent, cheap, fast and frankly did a better job than me. 😆
