They could have done iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 7 photos, side-by-side but they didn't.

I can't tell if the camera is great or the pictures look great because of the location. What is the point of this review?

It should be titled "iPhone 7 sample photos & videos taken at a spectacular location."

The point of the location is to make it interesting. Sure, he can go out in any local town and take a bunch of photos of normal stuff, but that would be pretty boring. This type of review is meant to both test the hardware, and be an interesting adventure / trip. You see them frequently switching between 1x and 2x, which I spent a lot of time rewinding and re-watching as someone who does a lot of travel photography through only my phone.

Let them have some fun...
