above water the iPhone will take better pictures. Bigger sensor, newer sensor, no zoom, and better software.

inferior lens, all the same.

i would be extremely surprised if that was the case

Size helps here.

And costs more than 2x as much, of course. Are you ok with losing or destroying it? Then you save $$ by just putting a housing on it. I think you want the one that digitally controls all functions, rather than something that is mechanical in nature.

Personally, I don't want to destroy my primary communications device when I'm in a foreign country. That would put me in a moderate bind.

that’s reasonable, but the device itself is waterproof to a certain level, so flooding isn’t a big deal unless your very deep.

The other dilemma for the OP is that the 14 is said to finally play catch up with Samsung and the others on megapixels. 12mp seems hard to believe in this day, for $999.

Maybe. I think the 13 was a fairly large bumb
