Editorial justifications
The single 48-megapixel sensor does a good job during the day, but its small size makes it a rather poor night photographer.

Defective product, unusable. Waiting for the reseller to get in touch for 6 days. The iPhone has a battery problem. It switches off several times a day. Surprising for a refurbished product whose condition was judged perfect by the reseller at the time of my purchase.
