The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Fujifilm X series camera owners who love the shallow-depth-of-field look are certain to be drawn to the Fujinon XF 50mm F1.0 R WR ($1,499). It's a big prime lens with a bright aperture for low-light photography and smoothly defocused backgrounds. Bokeh-specialist photographers interested in exploring the night can take note, but the XF 50mm F2 R WR is a more practical 50mm for the rest of us, and is more attainable at around $450.An F1 With Autofocus Lenses with extra-bright apertures (wider than F1.2) aren't unheard of, but they're typically restricted to manual focus and, unless you're prepared to spend a fortune, they aren't spectacularly sharp optics. That said, photographers still reach for them for extremely shallow depth of field and low-light capture. The XF 50mm F1.0 R WR includes autofocus, and there's little bad to say about it optically.

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.
