    The phone cameras are too close

    I think if you have an iPhone 14 or newer this camera really isn’t worth having. The quality is similar and not worth carrying this around when I can get very similar quality from the device I already carry daily. However if you have a simple phone or just want an actual camera then it is a pretty good choice.
