Apple launched the iPhone 14 series this week, and it’s clear that the Pro models are the stars of the show here. Between the display cutouts, new A16 processor, and 48MP main cameras, there’s plenty to like. However, Apple made a rather ostentatious move when it pretended picture cropping was telephoto zoom.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max already have 12MP 3x telephoto lenses for zoom, but the company is going so far as to claim it has “2x telephoto” camera capabilities when it’s simply cropping in from the main camera.
