apperently the problem with light flares in the night has something to do with the fact that Apple uses sapphire to protect the lenses which apparently is less opaque than standard glass and that should be the reason behind the light flares.
I'd be interested to see your take on this vs the s24 ultra. I've watched a few comparisons and it's not an easy decision, if it was video then sure the iphone hands down but I don't find photography stills quite as clear cut. Hopefully you have a video in the works.
Do you as a photographer know it it would be possible for Apple to use the same type of sensors as the main sensor for all 3 lenses or is something preventing them from doing that apart for cost. I would find a phone with sensors and lenses of similar quality way more useful than having one great main sensor and 2 or 3 not so great sensors.
I don’t know much about the engineering but I think it would be challenging from a physics perspective - the lenses would need physically move like they do on a larger camera system
In my 16 pro when I m going to zoom in video 1x to 15 x then from 4x to 5 x lens switch with gittter in switching lens... Is this normal ? If I going in setting and on- lock lens swich - then I got less quality in video zooming Is this normal or a bug ?
This is why I go with Pro Max models after 2 years I don't have to worry about the battery thru the day (and thru the day is all that matters-to have 20-25% left for being calm) and 13 PM was for some reason by far better than 15 PM but 15 is still okay
@@ItsTomRich I bought the phone on release day but I took it back the same day only because I had the desert titanium and it looked a bit pink. Butttt I think I’m going to give it another go. Maybe get black this time
apple log is a colour profile that you can shoot on the iPhone. It’s what more professional videos are shot in as gives you much more flexibility in terms of your colour grading and final look of your video 👍
I have the pixel 9P XL and the 16 PM. The pixel beats the iPhone on stills hands down. The photographic styles doesn’t change this fact. And no jokes, the camera button is a gimmick. I have the original apple case and the number of accidental presses a day is annoying. Then there is the lens flare. I don’t understand why this still a big issue. The spots and floaters especially on night or low light videos is not good at all. Competing devices handle don’t completely eradicate this but handle it much better. The front camera is also poor in low light. The pixel obliterates on low light selfies. However on bright sunny conditions the iPhone does take incredible videos and pictures. Class leading videos but amazing but not class leading pictures
Only Apple will give you a capture button and still refuse to include a built in pro mode with controls for ISO, shutter speed and manual focus. Very "pro". Video will always be good if not impractical for the amount of storage LOG takes up.
Remember, the main sensor (1x) does NOT collect more light. It just processes the image faster (good for 120 slow mo)…and less processing time for 48MP. Otherwise, same image quality was 15 Pro.

Did anyone see the Easter egg? 👀
Great video, Tom! But the Camera Control is a real button. It does physically presses down, and it's "accentuated" with haptics.
I’ll post a correction 👌

Lovely review. I would like to hear your opinion for other devices that are popular for thier camera quality like vivo x100 ultra or the new x200 pro
We can't get vivo devices in the UK it's almost impossible :(
I'd be interested to see your take on this vs the s24 ultra. I've watched a few comparisons and it's not an easy decision, if it was video then sure the iphone hands down but I don't find photography stills quite as clear cut. Hopefully you have a video in the works.
Hi Tom, would it be possible to have the settings for your two favorite styles, Standard and Amber? Thank you, Tom.
Check out my last video! :)

Great Video Tom...
This guy is surely my Fav on RUclips 👍
🥹 thanks man
12:58 but maybe for an average user too much of settings there is just overkill...I am totally okay to open camera, take photo and video..😊
In my 16 pro when I m going to zoom in video 1x to 15 x then from 4x to 5 x lens switch with gittter in switching lens... Is this normal ?
If I going in setting and on- lock lens swich - then I got less quality in video zooming
Is this normal or a bug ?
I’ve encountered the same thing and I couldn’t find a solution yet :(
clearly battery performance not good, because you love taking videos in Log format. shooting videos in log drain the battery excessively ..No?
This is why I go with Pro Max models after 2 years I don't have to worry about the battery thru the day (and thru the day is all that matters-to have 20-25% left for being calm) and 13 PM was for some reason by far better than 15 PM but 15 is still okay
Ish. I’ll give it a pass on the trip to Italy where I did rinse the camera, for sure, but the battery isn’t amazing
Dang second time in the last 24 hours hearing about the low light shooting
About bad performance you mean? Or light flares?
@ the light flares
@@Treborray Gotcha yeah they're pretty bad
@@ItsTomRich I bought the phone on release day but I took it back the same day only because I had the desert titanium and it looked a bit pink. Butttt I think I’m going to give it another go. Maybe get black this time
Nice vid Tom!
Thanks man
What is "apple log"? Sorry I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to google it but not finding much
apple log is a colour profile that you can shoot on the iPhone. It’s what more professional videos are shot in as gives you much more flexibility in terms of your colour grading and final look of your video 👍
@ItsTomRich thank you so much! I've learned a lot on your channel
@ really glad to hear that!

What happened at 08:47? It's daytime, right? But the video quality looks so bad, almost like mid-range smartphone videos.
It is really crappy weather here at the moment, daytime yes but gloomy AF and front facing camera
Only Apple will give you a capture button and still refuse to include a built in pro mode with controls for ISO, shutter speed and manual focus. Very "pro". Video will always be good if not impractical for the amount of storage LOG takes up.
Shooting compressed ProLog mostly fixes the size issue. Agree with the lack of manual modes
I think if not on 17, then on 18th iphone they'll remove the camera button.
Likely true 😂
13:51 idk bro maybe you should put in video your usage time and what you 've been using...simply shouldn't drain new battery in half a day..
Have a watch of full day in my life, i go into it in detail
I quite like the lens flares actually
The camera Button is too slow
Every phone has a lens flare🤷🏼 Samsung xiaomio pixel etc..
I do think iPhone is particularly bad. My pixel doesn’t flare as much as the iPhone
Remember, the main sensor (1x) does NOT collect more light. It just processes the image faster (good for 120 slow mo)…and less processing time for 48MP. Otherwise, same image quality was 15 Pro.
