In terms of night photography, the phone got a superior position, and DxOMark confirmed that the phone offers excellent performance compared to competitors. On the other hand, the phone got 102 points in terms of video shooting, to be in first place among all other phones!

A somewhat reasonable evaluation, and if you were amazed at the third place iPhone solutions, I expected it to be the second.
In any case, the latest Huawei P30 and the dead phones came, especially with great imaging technologies.
This does not mean that the iPhone XNUMX Pro is modest, on the contrary, its imaging quality is superior and brilliant in the fullest sense of the word.
Regarding the Photoshop application on the iPad, a full version similar to the computer version has not yet been released.
A lite version or a Lite version was released, and it is not complete.
Photoshop here reminds me of Autocad.
I don't know, but from some time I heard that they are launching a version for mobile devices and I am sure it will not be what the public expects.
In my opinion, the use of Photoshop and AutoCAD on the personal computer still has its own flavor and experience away from the power of the processor, the RAM, the graphics card and anything else.
In addition to that, technical analysts expect an increase of $ 400 for the next iPhone 2020, and the reason is that the motherboard will be replaced by Apple to support the fifth generation network from Qualcomm.
Imagine an iPhone 12 Pro with a price tag of $ 1400
These are only analysts' expectations. We wait and see ..
The problem is not here. The problem is that when what comes to Arab countries, its price will be double that of many taxes. For example, we have in Jordan: iPhone 11 pro max, gold color 256 GB, its price is 1634 dollars, and green hashish is more expensive at a hundred dollars, 512 GB, hashish color, 1908 dollars. Some Arab countries are more expensive than heck. If you consider it, this iPhone in America is considered cheaper than the Arab countries
Sahih, brother Hamzah, fictional customs taxes in our Arab countries, may God help us ..
Thank you
For the application Adobe Photoshop, the company has not downloaded the full version on the iPad, which is like on the computer, different from some reviews on this application in the AppStore of people, one and two stars, for the size of the application. Its size is small. If you calculate it 200 MB, there are many tools such as What is the size of a computer? I think this application is like the one on a computer. It came out the opposite. Applications that are efficient in computers are difficult to work on phones
