Kids: press switch to front-facing camera button anyways

Most profile pictures I see suggest they don’t know this button even exists.

The front facing camera on iPhones is not great. Most kids have iPhones. I'm not willing to believe children who grew up with these phones don't know their limitations.

The selfie camera, starting with iPhone 11 (both reg and pro) is 12MP, just like the main one. That's plenty of good. Only the iPhone 15 line has 48MP main while retaining the 12MP selfie.

Not sure what you are smoking.

It’s probably my screen protector, now that I think about it.

I will say with confidence its’ low light performance is dogshit.

I am in agreement with your confident assessment.

Resolution is hardly the only thing that matters for picture quality. The two cameras are quite different in that aspect.

Yes, though the optics on the front facing camera are quite lacking in comparison. You’ll always get a better picture with the back cameras, but it’s just easier to use the front.

That said, I do just use the front facing camera.
