This was a really thought-out, in-depth article. I really appreciated the artistic considerations.
The camera has usually been my primary motivation for upgrading, and I'm tempted. I'm still sporting a 7+ with broken lenses. Which has meant mostly terrible cell-phone pics that occasionally due to a happy accident look like a "Holga" picture.
The upside is that I went back to really actively using my DSLR, and I'm not sure anything really compares still. However, this article was pretty compelling.
I think the title is accurate – these pictures no longer look like 'iPhone' pictures, which was a kind of brand identity more than a technical constraint. This feels like a refreshing shift. That said, they have a look. They remind me of Andreas Gursky photos – hyper realistic, super detailed, somewhat matte.
