3. If that feature means it can take a picture of a dozen people and avoid showing any of them blinking that could be worth having.

I suppose that an iPhone does not give you the option of the raw image; if it did that would have to contain all three images.

3. That's insane. That the default is that you can't just take a bloody picture. Make your own decisions. But hell, that is Apple all over. Millions love it, I can't stand it.

Yeah. I love that my phone takes a bunch of photos, and I can then choose which one to use. But I don't want it combining them without telling me!

I would hate even that. I turn those options off. Or use a 3rd party camera (but I've just had to go back to the default one as the last android update seems to have made OpenCamera unusably slow)

It seems increasingly clear that the destruction of Gaza is part of Hamas's plan. They don't care about their own people, who they use as human shields. Every dead Gazan helps Hamas's propaganda campaign, and Hamas seems quite willing to help that along. It's disgusting. :-(
