Mobile photography has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a basic novelty into a powerful tool that rivals professional cameras.
In the early 2000s, camera phones were equipped with low-resolution sensors, often under 1 megapixel, and had limited functionality. Grainy photos were the norm, and features like zoom or flash were virtually nonexistent.
Over the years, advancements in mobile photography have not only improved image quality. However, they also significantly increased the size of photo files. The original iPhone, released in 2007, featured a 2-megapixel camera. Photos taken with it typically had file sizes ranging from 300KB to 500KB, depending on detail and compression. Fast forward to today, and modern iPhones can capture high-resolution images that vary in size based on settings and file formats. For example, RAW photos, which retain extensive detail for professional editing, can easily exceed 20MB per image.
For mobile creators, this progress brings new challenges—managing storage space has become a constant struggle. Between high-resolution photos, 4K videos, and app storage, many devices quickly run out of room.
