Now that's what I call dedication. Congrats and hats off!
Speaking of phones and cameras. The other thing that I see most do is with the little money they have, they buy an old model of iPhone, to show off, rather than buy a different brand with better characteristics. I had a few cases in the community, the quality of the photos were unbelievably bad, and when I mentioned it, the answer I got was that it was taken with an iPhone 6. Back then the latest model was 14 already. I know from experience that you can buy a Samsung three times better with the same money. And you know as well, better camera, more money.
So there's always a way if you really want, as you demonstrated.
