Yeah that. Phones are awful. I have an iPhone 15 Pro which is supposed to be quite good. It's not. I got so fed up with it I dug out my now ancient Nikon D3100 and took that around for a few days. Suprisingly it still works fine. It was incredibly better than the iPhone is which was painful. So I bought a new Nikon Z50ii mirrorless which is the indirect successor. Doubt I'll use a phone for anything again other than utility photography.

As for this thing in the article, urgh. Old cameras were designed badly and had poor ergonomics because of mechanical constraints. Why do we keep copying shitty old designs?!?
