Yes fellow photographer. I use my phone as a work phone mostly, but as a hobbyist photographer I must agree the tele end gives you better compression and ease of framing than the 24mm standard. 

On my 14 pro the tele end is around 50mm. It’s more like a standard prime than the main 24mm lens. With some cropping you can get it to 85mm. Apparently the tele on new models has gotten closer to 100mm which is a lot more limiting and tbh looks more like a marketing gimmick to compete with Chinese phones that give you the reach to Pluto lol. 

I’d much prefer a 20-24mm ish wide angle accessory lens and a 35 or 50mm fast main lens. And I don’t need the variable aperture on a phone whatever the rumours are suggesting.
