How to take a non-embarassing picture of the moon? - eviltoast

I just recently passed from android to Iphone 15 Pro and while it’s effectively better under all aspects, it really leaves much to be desired on the moon pictures, with results being vastly inferior to my old Honor 20 Pro from 2018. All of this seems to be due to the apparent lack of focus and exposure control. Now, I understand that Apple phones are not for “Pro” photography but… can’t the AI in the phone really see that that’s the moon and it should focus at infinity? Also, what’s with the huge light flares that I always see when imaging bright lights?

    Saw this advice once from u/seoulitude and kept it as a screenshot. Haven’t had a chance to try it yet:

    “set the video to 4k60fps > click the telephoto lens and zoom in > tap your subject and lock the focus > lower the exposure / drag the sun dial down > take a video > take the photo”
