The Pro has a much larger sensor size for the camera than the previous generation Pro, and also now 8x optical zoom instead of 5x. Big upgrades on the camera front may be a reason for people to stick with the higher price.

Looks like it has the same primary/wide cameras as the base model. You just gain the telephoto. It's fine for casual photography.

I have a mirrorless camera if I want to shoot telephoto. That has 375mm reach at the long end on proper glass with no ML crap.

Yea but most people don’t want to carry a camera. It’s just too easy and convenient to pull out a phone. I respect it but I just found myself not using cameras in practice anymore.
