“ The iPhone’s focal length is 3.85 mm
—
This corresponds to a wide-angle of 29.4 mm (on 35 mm film).
War photographer/journalist James Nachtwey was known for a 24 mm lens look in his pics.
What we consider standard view is 85 mm.
Just saying.

For the record, what we consider standard is about 50mm. That’s why in days of old before cheap kit zoom lenses, all cameras came with 50mm prime lenses. 85mm is a short tele-photo, which is also why they start taking portraits with 85mm upwards.
