I can’t stop playing with the low light comparison between the iPhone 17 and the Pixel 10, showing the sandwich shop menu.

Why do the letters in the Sandwiches signage at the top of the image move slightly between the different photos? Is it because of a very slightly different camera angle, or is it because one (or both) of the phones has used OCR and rewritten the word with AI processing of the image when taken? I know iPhones automatically replace slightly blurry text in low light images, sometimes with a faint change in colour of the background - like when using a translate app.

Pictures were taken from a slightly different angle because they were shot by a human and humans cannot do their deeds with milimetric precision.

That's what I hoped too. The way the letters moved just seemed strange to me, like they were moving too far. But I find it entirely likely that exactly what you described would look strange to me - I don't look at these comparisons very often so I don't know what is normal. Sort of like how moving closer while zooming out to keep the subject the same size does a strange (but neat) effect on everything else in video.
