Hands-on with Apple’s new iPhones: Beauty and the beast and the regular-looking one | Ars Technica
A new form-vs.-function spectrum emerges as Apple’s phone designs diverge.
If you don't know, the Fusion Camera system shoots 48MP images and then shrinks them to 12 or 24MP, depending on the phone you're using—benefiting from the extra detail captured by the 48MP sensor, but keeping photo sizes manageable. The other major functional upgrade for people who just walk into the store (or log on to their carrier's website) and buy the default iPhone is that the base model has been bumped up to 256GB of storage, a reasonably generous allotment that should keep you from having too much trouble with gigantic movie files or years-old gigabytes-large iMessage conversations that you just can't bear to delete.
