A tip/fedback/request: The photos shown for a fraction of seconds, I constantly have to pause to watch the video. Put them at least for 3 sec or more. Come on, this video is about images and videos. :)
I really liked this format, for some reason the last videos had some lack of storytelling and deep content, but this one feels specially good, kudos and I would love to see more like this. Thanks T-Mobile for helping the Verge to produce this.
I definitely could see this replacing an entry-level Mirrorless DSLR. If you're on a budget, you're probably better off just getting an iphone and rigging it out than a Sony A73 and rigging it out. But you've GOTTA put in the work to make the iphone look good, cause it's pretty rough straight out of the iPhone camera app. Get an ND filter and an app like the Blackmagic recording app, set your shutter angle to 180, and shoot in Pro Res LT, with Apple Log. Turn off auto-white balance and auto-exposure. Nobody will be able to tell you're shooting on a phone. It looks REALLY good.
Fantastic review and video, Vjeran and team! The cinemotography of the video shots and the compostions of the photos are just beautiful. Very well-structured review as well with great insights and anecdotes throughout. Hope to continue seeing Vjeran hosting more photo/videography reviews and other vids in the future!
I’ve been using iPhone only since the 6S for all videos on this channel. 40 million views later, (without a gimble, rig, luts, or any colour correction) the average person has no idea it isn’t a high end camera. PS. I also cannot get into camera control. 🤷♂️
Definitely helps confirm that good tools can help an artist, but what matters most is how the artist themself uses them 🙂 congrats on your channel success!
the problem i have with photographic styles is i just don't want to stand there for 1 minute flicking around trying to pick the best style based on subtle differences. i want to just shoot and move on. ideally i want my phone to just be smarter than tell me to figure it out. personally, i just stick with standard but dial the tone down to like -50. i often will quickly lower the exposure on shots since it has the tendency to overexpose. i think maybe if we could just pick our 3 favorite styles and have a nice 1 2 3 shortcut on the viewfinder, that would be ideal.
Exactly! I find using the camera control to change settings while framing a shot...just weird. I'm glad you can just take a photo and then decide what to do with it later.
This. This is a Verge video, dialed back the *Dieter* by just the right amount! No personal comparisons here... Vjeran is just great for this type of content, and the video recording overview makes it way more comprehensive than just "took x amount of photos with this thing"
Shoutout to T-Mobile for sponsoring this feature. This was a really interesting and informative piece that The Verge put together. Time to tweak the coloration on my 16 Pro Max.
same here. i use the camera control button to launch the camera app and thats it. it's too stiff compared to normal camera shutter buttons to do "half" or full clicks without shifting the phone and affecting the framing of the photos i want to take. the touch screen controls are superior and since iphone4, more natural and intuitive for how i use the phone camera. 🙂
Awesome video. Trying to get out the most of my new 16 pro and sometimes it’s a lot of options and feel kind of lost. That being said rn I’m using raw max for photos and kino app for video
Those 120Hz videos look awesome, and the gold and quiet photographic style is just 🤌so good. Can't wait to got 16 Pro Max in my hand. Thanks for beautiful footages and informations!
11:00 - set double press to open the camera instead of single press. You can double press with the device locked and screen off and it'll still launch the camera
Was about to comment the same thing. I’ve set mine to double press too to avoid accidental launch of the camera in pocket. Great way to quickly launch the camera even while it’s locked and screen off
There’s always the pre-travel discussion. Take the real camera + heavy tripod + backpack of accessories or the iPhone and $20 Amazon 60” compact tripod. I like the rose gold toned down, cool rose, or pro-raw which few seem to know about.
I am using my iPhone 12 mini with Zhiyun stabilizer a lot to shoot different vlogs and creative videos for various competitions I have in University, where I have to present some project. For me it is truly a versatile tool I see a lot of value in. And the leap to more professional setups, with a dedicated camera, lenses and gimbal requires such a great investment, that I don’t see it happening any time soon, even with my growing interest in photography and videography. It seems to me that the pro lineup offers that sweet middle ground which the regular iPhones lack some important features for that desired versatility.
I was mirroring my phone to my MacBook to use the rear camera as well. its such a pain to setup haha.After doing like 70 videos this way I gave in and bought my first camera lol. I tried the watch and just thought my watch was buggy when trying to monitor my phone. super duper informative video ! Kinda got me wanting to go back to the iPhone 16 Pro!
Yup! it'll stay saved each time. Even when you go edit and try out a few different styles, going back to original style will have tone/color/palette saved.
Hi! I'm just seeing this comment. Thanks so much! We did a little demo in the full review (13:06) regarding the new audio capture. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0DL_DAdm108.htmlsi=Vx0Y2ouoBLq2EiTh
Hello, thanks for the video. Why not mentionning "iPhone 16 PRO" in the video title if you take photos and videos with this model? ;) edit: title has been fixed :)
CHECK IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA MANUFACTURING DEFECT the main camera sensor problem is found by doing a 30 sec long exposure in a deep night sky or against a mousepad and there will be blue lines and blue tint all over the photo which means your camera sensor is faulty ask for a replacement.
The self-monitoring issues keep piling up. Apple Watch worked once out of ten attempts, mac mirroring is too small of a preview, I end up just putting a hand mirror behind my phone while recording with rear cameras. Just terrible for self-filming with rear cameras. Hoping the selfie camera gets upgraded with the next version to compare the rear main sensor.
Used to ride a Muska deck back in the day, man those are nice. Think a pink ordinary iPhone would fit me better because it’s pink but I can’t afford that one either 😎 My iPhone 6 playing Live Forever still
For all intents and purposes, the iPhone camera is the best camera because it’s literally an iPhone. Over a billion people have it. Imagine Sony trying to sell a billion DSLR’s.
Nice shots. Although the Blackmagic app is the ugliest thing ever, it's free and runs smoother than Kino with a lot more option (it doesn't have built in luts, but you can upload your owns to bake in). Still, nothing beats Apple's camera app in speed and smoothness.
Nowadays, what’s up with companies promoting features. Then on the release date, the same features are nowhere to be seen. I bought my iPhone specifically for Apple Intelligence . But I still have preschool level Siri. The 4k…120 fps is nice though
Even many of people still talks the iphone but doesn't mean that phone can defeat the best selling from samsung s24 ultra, how much people are still talks the iphone 16 until today from apple😂
But first of all I'm pretty sure you said the same thing about the iPhone last year and year before that any year before that and year before that and year before that that it has the best camera ever come on now stop holding apples nuts and who cares what works for you watch anybody care what works you work for you so what big deal
Photographic styles are only available on 48 megapixel photos. No one in their right mind wants a 48 megapixel photo. You can’t email the photo because it’s too big. And think of all the space that it will use up on your iPhone memory . The new camera button feature is cumbersome and clunky. No one is going to use that. Using the touchscreen is 10 times faster .The improvement to the ultra wide camera is so insignificant that it’s not worth mentioning. The main camera is the same.. the telephoto is the same. Your average iPhone user is not a professional cinematographer . They don’t need pro Rez. The closer you look the less attractive this phone becomes. 4K at 1:20 is definitely cool. Other than that, There’s not much improvement.
Let's be real here, the camera control will be gone next year, 2 years max. It's only real purpose was for Apple to be able tp introduce something new with the new iPhones.
