Dude, have you ever even used an iPhone 13 Pro? Believe me, the macros you take with this phones are stunning. And lighting and stabilization are a determining factor for macro even with cameras, actually even more so for cameras than phones.

These pictures btw were not taken this way. The reason I know is because I talked to the Italian winner and Apple about exactly that.

Taken at dusk. No other lights.

>F 1.8

1/83 sec

1.57 mm

ISO 320

No flash

For something taken at dusk, I'm surprised of the lack of sunset colors in the background. I would absolutely believe that shutter speed would produce that sharpness. And the depth of field looks like it would be aligned with a macro shot.

The sun had just set behind the clouds in Cabo Sao Vicente. The blue you see in the background is the Atlantic Ocean from the top of a high cliff.
