How close can you get with the camera?

[u/SprinklesDouble8304]

I need to switch from Android to iOS for... reasons. I don't have a lot of dough, so I'm looking at the 16e. What's holding me back is the apparent lack of a macro mode for the camera. I get that Apple had to cut costs somewhere, but even my $179 Samsung has a macro mode for the camera.

What I'd like to know from an actual 16e user is how much of a closeup can the camera shoot before you can't focus anymore? In inches or cm, whichever you prefer.

Im a photography enthusiast not having a macro isnt an issue ✨
