It's an iPhone photography episode of The Grid, where Scott Kelby and Erik Kuna ask the big question: has your iPhone replaced your camera bag? Scott shares stunning travel, landscape, and portrait shots captured entirely on recent iPhone Pro models, showing how features like Studio Light, pano stitching, and the impressive 13mm–200mm lens range are changing what’s possible with a phone. Along the way, they talk about where iPhone photography really shines (travel, street, everyday shooting), where it still falls short, a few must-know settings and apps, and why computational photography is leveling the playing field. They also chatted about the upcoming iPhone Photography Conference and gave away some great prizes.
