Using a Mac Photos smart album to tell how often you use your iPhone’s telephoto lens

The iPhone XR, famously, does not have a telephoto lens. David Smith worked out a way to see how often he’s used the telephoto in the past, with his iPhone X:

In a nutshell, he jumped into Mac Photos and created a smart album based purely on focal length, which eliminated all but images taken with the telephoto lens. Very smart.

  1. Or just use Lens = “iPhone X back dual camera 6mm f/2.4” and have a simpler search.

  2. I had these in my library:

    iPhone X back camera 4mm f/1.8
    iPhone X back camera 6mm f/2.4
    iPhone X back dual camera 4mm f/1.8
    iPhone X back dual camera 6mm f/2.4

    You might have to include both 6mm strings? Not sure why there’s two.
