What do you think? Interesting processing on the face. Skin looks too smooth? Hands look like they have more texture? Hmm. What do you all think? Pretty impressive regardless, FOR A PHONE! Hope you liked it!
Yes Peter, I agree. F1 is really interesting. Your face is constantly processed throughout the race, skin and hands always have more texture (adrenaline rush) and the cars are always PRETTY impressive!!.... Oh yes, I forgot, Good dynamic of shots and composition in this video, it's a good one!
Was able to spot the image comparison immediately. There's this weird extra sharpening like effect with most phones when taking photos, where the very edges of objects, whether it be text or an outline of a shape etc., tends to get like "blown out" if that makes sense. It's most apparent in highlight areas or like the edges of the colored watch numbers and hands. This Prores phone shoot also has this weird edge effect processing going on. Color wise it looked great, but that slight softness at times, like on your face, along with the odd extra edge blurrying especially on your body shape, make it quite noticeable to me it's not very "pro camera".
Precisely! And that’s how I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with the idea that professional cameras don’t make sense anymore because of newer phones. Let’s not forget those product shots from the iPhone fall apart for high quality print purposes.
I was really noticing that in Marques's vid, really surprised he didn't point it out since that was such a big talking point with the Pixel 6's over sharpening. 50mp is great but the pixel binning on almost every phone makes the image unnaturally sharp. 😕
Also the way it caught the light was weird. I feel like only a photographer or artist would notice, but the dynamic rang was odd considering where the source of the light was coming from.
You can always tell the iPhone cinematic mode due to the post process bokeh effect. You can see it looks artificial around the edge of objects in the foreground. If they could fix this, it would be super useable in professional applications. Still amazing tech though!
It's getting to a point where the average viewer will not notice any of that. It's really quite amazing that it's able to do that for freaking video! Portrait mode itself isn't all that old, and now it's doing it in video at 4K, and doing it pretty damn well.
I love watching peter do set design for product shots. It feels like watching a true master at his craft, a Japanese blacksmith in the forge. Well done
The only reviewer I care about for my new iphone. I've already bought it but for some reason still watch hours of reviews so I don't get buyer's remorse 🤣

I don't know if I agree with the "rough scenarios". The problem with DSLRs is that they're DUMB, if you slip up on your settings your shot can be totally unusable but Iphones are so good at applying the correct settings you need in whatever scenario.
@@MattyDMovies But the RAWs are much better so you can for sure be under or overexposed by quite a bit. If u get the iPhone wrong, its pretty much ruined.
@@MattyDMovies but that’s the art with a camera and learning your settings. With a phone u no longer need to really know anything and it takes the art out of it and it’s just point and shoot imo
yes I can see a difference 100% and it is a night and day compared to your usual set up. Even the photo had less detail and way too bright details on the watch. However it certainly got a bit better especially the stabilization... that is impressive.
@@Oreocycllo yeah, that's the bad thing about phones, that they have to optimize for social media/smartphone screen watching so in the big screen it looks worse
100%. Great for a phone. Insane for a phone. But the skin especially came off as sorta, half-smoothing filter or something? Like the skin tones were mushed a bit while maintaining some contrasty detail. Hard to describe exactly. And computational DoF is still jarring for a talking head where the hair wisps just end in blur. And I noticed the same details in the photo. Hell of a phone. Not replacing a camera just yet.
yeah i agree. im thinking maybe its doing something with the processing and bumping clarity especially when it recognizes something as text like on the watch?
This actually started happening with the iPhone 12, it has to do with the HDR in filming - it can also screw up rendering in Premiere (even after color grading to "normal"), so I was curious to know how Peter worked it around. Hundreds of people complaining about this on the Adobe Community.
The talking heads looks absolutely stunning. The "run & gun" scene where you tested the stabilization was a little bit worse, image quality wise. But that is to be expected when you are outside compared to a studio lit scene. But overall it looks really great. And the photos looks good aswell. The sharpening and contrast is a little bit harsh, but overall it looks solid. I like where the technology is taking us!
Love that you did a good bit of movement in the talking head portion. you can see some weirdness with the background around your hands especially around the 7:28 - 7:32 mark but if you aren't looking for it it's pretty solid. glad its in 4k now.
They sure did improve the cinematic mode compared to the 13s. I couldn’t tell that the A-Roll was shot on the phone until he mentioned it! The focus shift was S M O O T H
@@maddawgzzzz yeah, cinematic mode still struggles with the Iphone 14 Pro, but I have a feeling in a few generations, it will take it to the next level.
It still looks very odd around the edges of the head though, it can't quite decide where to start blurring the background. Curious to see how it looks on normal mode.
For all the people in comments who say they can't see the difference - I'm watching this on 27 inch 4K monitor and the difference in both photos and videos is clearly visible
Same, easy to tell but I use my iPhone in ProRaw and my ILC cameras on the same locations all the time. Basically it's missing a bunch of detail, but then again it's a 12mp (quad bayer 48) vs the R5 which has 3x those pixels and a far higher grade lens. The fact that many can't tell at first glance is a win for the iPhone. And that's the thing, if 90+% can't tell, and I probably wouldn't on the typical screen I view images on, the phone or tablet/laptop then it makes the R5 that much less relevant.
Yep, me too. Thing is, we are the 1%. I dont know a single person who owns a desktop setup in 2022 aside from a few pro photographer friends. Everyone is looking at our photos and videos compressed to hell on social media where you will never see the difference. Plenty of us pro photographers have posted shots with an iPhone mixed in with shots from FF and even MF cameras, no one notices. Even when you ask people on social media which photo was taken with which camera, no one can tell. No one is viewing your photos and videos on 27 inch 4K monitors...
As a filmmaker I was able to notice the difference easly, they are doing a good job but not even close to cine camera or mirroless ! You can't compare an iPhone to a pro camera even if it has 12k video resolution and 100 megapixels photos .
i feel what you mean as a videographer. But clients don't care anymore. They dont see much difference and hire a person with Iphone whos service is cheaper. Sad trend, sad situation
Like the days of film gone digital. But I’ve said, rage against the machine- the social has created this pressure, and apple is listening via a camera that happens to be a phone. We’re the last frontier
@@Muzaffar-Alimov My wife works in marketing higher up in leadership and that's the absolute truth. They use iPhones on billboards and the general public could care less if it was an R5 or iPhone. The quality is good enough and the content is where they focus. They'd rather save money on the image itself and spent that money on the thought going into the content.
I‘m honestly pretty impressed. Of course the canon still beats the iPhone, especially at the edges of objects (they kinda look weird). However, I think if you look at it from the perspective of „Ah, I‘m outside getting groceries and I really wanna take this shot I’m seeing right now“, this honestly would be a pretty good camera to just have on you all the time
Awesome review! The new camera seems amazing and it's crazy that we're getting this in a phone. The question of whether or not there's a difference between this and professional gear isn't really the point though IMO. The key thing for me is that I don't always have my gear with me, but I almost always have my phone. Being able to get fantastic shots even if I don't have my gear has me super excited.
I still cannot get over the pastel skin tones of the iPhone. And the oversaturated colors/lack of gradation. Even after color grading, there’s a certain cheapness to it that I can’t unsee. But holy crap, it’s amazing what a phone can do these days. It’s still a joy to use. “The best camera is the one you have right now”
This was hands down *THE BEST* iPhone 14 Pro camera/cinematography review I’ve seen. Succinct and straight to the point wiiiiitttthhhhh visual demonstrations!! Instant sub man! Well done 👏
I immediately was like: "something's wrong, I can feel it", but I honestly didn't know what. It's quite impressive what phones today are able to capture, but I could definitely tell that something was off when I first saw the video. Now that you mention it, I can definitely tell. Everything looks a bit too smooth but simultaneously oversharpened, I think cinematic mode got the blurring just a bit wrong, etc.
The skin colors also feels off. I bet they are the right color, but it's like the dynamic range of the skin colors is more narrow. And the skin color is slightly over saturated.
I think it’s almost there - maybe the iPhone 15 will be just perfect! Felt like the 14 is just lacking a little bit especially in the dynamic range and depth of field, but overall it did a pretty good job!
Depth of field will never be great on such a small sensor. The digital DOF might improve to an extent, but doubt it will rival the real thing for a while
And the iphone 16 will be better compared to the 15 And the 17 to the 16 And the 20 to the 19… (Just get the best and most satisfying to the present scenario. Apple is guaranteed to exist many years. Life may not be.)
The funniest part about this video is that Peter recommends MKBHDs video for other spec deep dives, and then Marques recommend Peters channel for an ultimate camera deep dive. Don't know if that was planned but it just made me chuckle
I mean I do think it was quite obvious which photo was which from the sharpness and dynamic range but then again can't compete against the R5 for that!
8:25 though, looks like dynamic frame rate creeped in, I remember spending hours in the HandBrake app in order to make it constant. Also it was so on point when Pete was asking “Is 4k good?” :) Love your work Peter, as always ❤️
We've gotten to a point where phone cameras have become the go to point shoot camera now, especially for vlogs. This is the perfect time for anyone who wants to dip their toes in content creation. It's not going to be on the same level as a cinema camera or a mirrorless, but man is it a great way to learn the fundamentals and basics on!
Yeah, I have the A7C (fullframe camera from Sony) and I am actually concidering using my phone (got iPhone 13 pro max now) instead of my camera for vlogs. The important thing is the story you are telling, most people don't care about how the background separation looks. Just grab a mic and you're good to go.
This video was impressive! I WAS able to guess right for the iPhone 14 Max comparison with the Canon cam, but only because the slight depth in the water droplets gave it away. Otherwise, it’s crazy good and took the color grades beautifully.
I'd love to see it used at night! We use iPhones for our vlogs since they're so damn convenient, but the video really falls apart at night - especially if you watch it on a large monitor.
As someone that is not a photographer, both photos looked great, but I can tell that there was extra processing in the iPhone one. That being said, I did like the iPhone photo more as the white letters on the wire had more contrast and the water droplets just looked sharper. I can understand both, but as a novice that likes to do stuff on my phone... I know which one I'm going to buy
For sure the footage looks really good and the stabilising is incredible and the way that ProRes keeps the details is amazing, but it does still look like it wasn't shot with a proper camera. And obviously it wasn't. It was actually quite easy to tell which one of the photos in the beginning was taken with a phone and which one was with a proper camera. Also the way it blurs the hair and beard is just way off. For something that's in your pocket, the iPhone is insane for sure, but for now it won't replace an actual camera.
Can you define "proper camera"? Do you mean a camera that just takes photos or just takes videos? It's not so long ago that people were saying you can't shoot video on a stills camera because it's not a proper video camera. It's not so long ago people said mirrorless cameras weren't proper cameras because they didn't have a mirror. It's not so long ago that people said DSLRs weren't proper cameras because they didn't shoot film and real photographers only shoot on film. Back in 1935 the Leica 35mm wasn't a proper camera because it wasn't large format and you could slip it in your pocket. The iPhone (or Android if that's your preference) IS a proper camera that happens to also do other stuff. Being able to do other stuff doesn't mean it's not a real camera. The best camera is and always will be "the one you have with you".
I love how Peter and Marques recommends each other on their videos. True friends right off the bat and I watch them both when it comes to these things lol.
Any camera in a professionals hands can create amazing thing, where I thought it really suffered was in the action mode, the aliasing on the pavers was a jittery awful mess, and of course the fake shallow depth of field trying to mimic a longer focal lengths compression.
What about night mode? That’s the key point in my opinion, with photography but especially with video. Does it get noisy? How it compares with the 13 and 12 Pro Max? Cheers!
iPhones always had problems in night mode photography and filmage but compared to the 13s they improved a lot. Even videos don’t get noisy or under/overexposed
@@henrik_lamar I’m especially interested in knowing how the iPhone 14 Pro Max records in low light. I’m aware the 13PM is a step forward from the 12PM (the one I have). Evaluating if upgrading now or wait for the 15.
As great as mobiles are getting I can instantly see that pasty look that reveals it's clearly a phone camera. It's still no contest no matter how many times these comparisons are made. Good video.
I think the difference is still obvious, but the quality of phone cameras is now at such a level that they are ‘good enough’ for many use cases. E.g. many RUclips channels or company videos are not about stunning visuals, but about content and stories. In those cases it’s totally viable to produce with an iPhone as long as the content is good.
Thanks for another helpful video. Is the crazy pixilation at 8:24 “Is the 4K good” a secret comment? Probably not. I love shooting well lit music videos on my old iPhone XS and I’m look forward to the improvements in the iPhone 14. Unfortunately low light is a week spot on my current iPhone, so noisy. Has low light shooting improver with the 14? p.s. Thanks for making Main Street look so good.
This is actually insane, i couldn't tell the difference at first between both shots. Tech is moving insanely fast, hopefully we would be able to keep up with the current gear we have. 🔥 Lovely Pete.
@@avivar9353 not for most people that aren’t professional photographers,I would say for most of us the camera of the iPhone was good enough infact I didn’t even knw the video was shot by an iPhone until he mentions it .
Videos comparing the iPhone to expensive cameras give it away to me because I start looking for the over sharpening the phones have but if you filmed a regular Pete video without talking about using a phone I would probably never notice
I still see the difference. The iPhone looks like when you apply surface blur filter in photoshop, and the canon is more detailed and looks good in the highlights. Regarding the video, the post processed blur looks weird in some edges and more when Pete is moving his hands. But still great quality for a phone!
Actually, the Canon is just out of focus on the numbers. That's the whole weakness of the Canon shot. He didn't even get it in focus and then he's comparing it to an in focus iPhone.
@Zealadinn You're humorous. You state 2 things that are the opposite or reality. Phone cameras don't have an issue with DOF. It's completely the other way around. They typically have too much DOF. They don't try to create DOF clown. They typically attempt to fake bokeh. The sharpening is not to compensate for a lack of DOF. It's to compensate for clarity. Nice try though.
Very impressive, and like peter pointed out, it levels the playing field which is cool. It's a great starting point for someone on a budget, no need for gimbals, you can take great photos and the quality is good, not just good enough. Sure, pro cameras and lenses are superior and as you progress you will see the need for more features that you just can't get from a phone, but again, this fits in your pocket! I'd be interested to see how the quality of the ultrawide and zoom as those are pretty bad compared to the main camera on my 11 pro max.
I got it right. The iPhone image looked a bit more computationally processed which was the giveaway for me. But very impressive and looking forward to mine arriving at the end of the week. It wont replace my R5, but like having a pretty exceptional camera in my pocket at all times.
Great Video! It's crazy how good Apple, Google and Samsung phones improve year after year yet companies like Canon are busy restricting third--party lens manufacturers.
The iPhone cameras are amazing for their compact size, but, once I got a Canon, I could see a huge difference in the quality of the image compared to an iPhone. You just can't get the richness and detail on a phone that you can from a professional-level camera, but for many people they won't even notice.
I can say the same thing to a medium frame vs full frame camera. What I notice is that compared to their sizes smartphones delivers excellent pictures because of the algorithm and signal processing.
Pretty impressive results, overall the footage is very usable for most people that just wanna use their phones. The cameras have improved immensely but I could still differentiate them. Great video Pete ♥️
A photographer will spot the difference in an instant. I see the iPhone quality as "unusable" because I can't get over all the digital sharpening noise etc.. I don't need technical perfection since I'm happy to shoot on an old Pentax K1000 with B&W film but when it comes to digital I'll grab for my Sony gear over an iPhone every day. Most people won't know either way, but I would.. Can't do it. iPhone is great for snapping a quick pic but It fails the "soul" test.
I've thought iPhone footage has looked great for years now. But using the resulting files in a professional workflow continues to be pretty frustrating. Like everything seems designed to live completely in the phone: editing, grading, etc. Trying to offload the footage and combine in tandem with standard codecs? That's been *real* tough for us. Would love to watch a Two Minute Tuesday detailing how your shop integrates phone footage.
That's what ProRes is about I thought? A codec that is HQ and works beautifully in a timeline outside the phone. Edits, color grades, stretch, resize, you name it.
I always watch two videos for the latest iPhone. MKBHD for the tech specs and new features and Pete for the Camera test. Really cool that they each called each other out in their videos this year!
For someone taking photos with a camera, the differences are pretty clear (especially the softness on edges for cinematic videos and heavy shrpening), but that being said phones definetly have much better cameras and software tricks.
It's good enough now I think, I mean, the gain of always having your phone with you, compared to carrying around your bigger camera with multiple lenses is just gonna help you be more creative and focus on the story as Peter mentioned. Now 80% of my time goes to handling gear.
@@RobertBilling Depends on what you shoot. If you need real zoom, you can pretty much forget the iPhone. DOF, pretty much 0 and cinematic mode looks awful imo. Slow motion compared to a camera is bad quality. Handling is poor, stabilization very digital looking... I think there is a usecase for the iPhone but still has a far way to go to actually compete with cameras.
Phone looks great but there's a feel and depth you get with a camera that a phone just won't replace (yet anyway). Felt these two were quite clear which was which... And the fact you can see the iPhone in the reflection.
I literally didn't know it was an iPhone till you mentioned it and I even got it wrong with the picture cus. This is really amazing and wonderful video by the way Pet
Huh, I thought after all was said and done you’d pull up both photos and take a deep dive into them but we just got the final products. Phone cameras have come such a long way it’s definitely incredible to see. I know it’s a little outside what you normally do but I’d love some in depth comparisons. I like your style of editing pictures and would like to watch and see your thoughts comparing multiple phones.
I mean it's ok - i can't see that much improvement over iPhone 13 - however compared to your usual videos, the difference is night and day. So anyone can use an iPhone instead of a pro camera at a pintch, but it will 100% be noticeable - specially if viewed on larger displays.
For those who are watching from phones this looks totally cinematic. On a bigger screen yeah, lots of noise. I currently have no option but to shoot some videos from iPhone 11 and I know 95% of people are gonna watch it from phones so whatever. Are there any noise reduce tools out there?
Excellent review as always. You immediately notice the difference between phone and camera due to the tone steps on the watch face. In my opinion the only one that makes sense to buy is the 14 base model which still has double stabilization, Cinematic mode and security features. Professional modes on a phone in my opinion do not make sense. Thank you for your excellent videos. Phenomenal phone anyway.

My honest guess was correct, here's why: The over-sharpening of the iPhone's image is noticeable and far too crunchy, the highlight fall-off is very noticeable, and the blacks are much better (IMO) from the camera. The text highlights, the fall-off, and the details of the screws on the camera shot are better (again IMO). Did you happen to move your light? I can see more light on the iPhone image and the iPhone reflection was caught in the watch face. That is just the photos. With all that being said I totally agree, I love that iPhone (apple) is pushing the bounds of things. I think it makes camera manufacturers step up their game, which benefits everyone in the industry. I love that iPhones are there for you when your camera is not available. That really speaks! Great video as always Pete!
What do you think? Interesting processing on the face. Skin looks too smooth? Hands look like they have more texture? Hmm. What do you all think? Pretty impressive regardless, FOR A PHONE! Hope you liked it!

It wasn’t just over sharpening, it flattened the image too. The watch looked 2D on the iPhone in comparison to the Canon shot that had insane depth.
Also the way it caught the light was weird. I feel like only a photographer or artist would notice, but the dynamic rang was odd considering where the source of the light was coming from.

@@karolislatakas137 still p good i mean it could do like a thousand things more than a camera and have this quality

On the 14 it looks like someone has cranked the clarity slider, the sharpening is just off a bit but man, that thing is powerful! 🔥

Easy fix though.. dial back clarity in post

Same, easy to tell but I use my iPhone in ProRaw and my ILC cameras on the same locations all the time. Basically it's missing a bunch of detail, but then again it's a 12mp (quad bayer 48) vs the R5 which has 3x those pixels and a far higher grade lens. The fact that many can't tell at first glance is a win for the iPhone. And that's the thing, if 90+% can't tell, and I probably wouldn't on the typical screen I view images on, the phone or tablet/laptop then it makes the R5 that much less relevant.
Yep, me too. Thing is, we are the 1%. I dont know a single person who owns a desktop setup in 2022 aside from a few pro photographer friends. Everyone is looking at our photos and videos compressed to hell on social media where you will never see the difference. Plenty of us pro photographers have posted shots with an iPhone mixed in with shots from FF and even MF cameras, no one notices. Even when you ask people on social media which photo was taken with which camera, no one can tell. No one is viewing your photos and videos on 27 inch 4K monitors...
As a filmmaker I was able to notice the difference easly, they are doing a good job but not even close to cine camera or mirroless ! You can't compare an iPhone to a pro camera even if it has 12k video resolution and 100 megapixels photos .
Facts !
i feel what you mean as a videographer. But clients don't care anymore. They dont see much difference and hire a person with Iphone whos service is cheaper. Sad trend, sad situation
Like the days of film gone digital. But I’ve said, rage against the machine- the social has created this pressure, and apple is listening via a camera that happens to be a phone. We’re the last frontier
@@Muzaffar-Alimov My wife works in marketing higher up in leadership and that's the absolute truth. They use iPhones on billboards and the general public could care less if it was an R5 or iPhone. The quality is good enough and the content is where they focus. They'd rather save money on the image itself and spent that money on the thought going into the content.
@@kalimarus yep
I‘m honestly pretty impressed. Of course the canon still beats the iPhone, especially at the edges of objects (they kinda look weird). However, I think if you look at it from the perspective of „Ah, I‘m outside getting groceries and I really wanna take this shot I’m seeing right now“, this honestly would be a pretty good camera to just have on you all the time
The video, the beat , the phone, everything was amazing. I never get tired of watching Peter.
Awesome review! The new camera seems amazing and it's crazy that we're getting this in a phone. The question of whether or not there's a difference between this and professional gear isn't really the point though IMO. The key thing for me is that I don't always have my gear with me, but I almost always have my phone. Being able to get fantastic shots even if I don't have my gear has me super excited.
I still cannot get over the pastel skin tones of the iPhone. And the oversaturated colors/lack of gradation. Even after color grading, there’s a certain cheapness to it that I can’t unsee.
But holy crap, it’s amazing what a phone can do these days. It’s still a joy to use. “The best camera is the one you have right now”
I love how Marques and Pete both just casually pushed each others videos. lol
not me telling myself "Well obviously the left one was shot on the iphone" .... I am shocked! amazing.
What an intro!! never seen anything like this before. keep it rollin Pete
This was hands down *THE BEST* iPhone 14 Pro camera/cinematography review I’ve seen. Succinct and straight to the point wiiiiitttthhhhh visual demonstrations!! Instant sub man! Well done 👏
For it being an iphone its pretty amazing. I would love to see more unedited video from it!
I immediately was like: "something's wrong, I can feel it", but I honestly didn't know what. It's quite impressive what phones today are able to capture, but I could definitely tell that something was off when I first saw the video. Now that you mention it, I can definitely tell. Everything looks a bit too smooth but simultaneously oversharpened, I think cinematic mode got the blurring just a bit wrong, etc.
The skin colors also feels off. I bet they are the right color, but it's like the dynamic range of the skin colors is more narrow. And the skin color is slightly over saturated.
Peter did an immaculate job on filming that deck of cards in the beginning, I am sold! Just ordered one and can't wait for it to come :D
We just got our 14 Pro Max and I wish it had come out last year. I may not have bought my Canon EOS R. As always PM, love your work! Thx A.
I think it’s almost there - maybe the iPhone 15 will be just perfect!
Felt like the 14 is just lacking a little bit especially in the dynamic range and depth of field, but overall it did a pretty good job!
It only needs type C and boom 🎉😂
When you remember this is a phone, you get around it
Depth of field will never be great on such a small sensor. The digital DOF might improve to an extent, but doubt it will rival the real thing for a while
Agreed. The Cinematic video definitely looks ratchet.
And the iphone 16 will be better compared to the 15
And the 17 to the 16
And the 20 to the 19…
(Just get the best and most satisfying to the present scenario. Apple is guaranteed to exist many years. Life may not be.)
The funniest part about this video is that Peter recommends MKBHDs video for other spec deep dives, and then Marques recommend Peters channel for an ultimate camera deep dive. Don't know if that was planned but it just made me chuckle
Agree XD and you end up watching both vids cuz daaamn... if they recommend each other it has to be good hahaha
Yup, I even predicted he would mention MKBHD.
Peter, you and your content are soooo good. I never miss your posts😎🤙
I mean I do think it was quite obvious which photo was which from the sharpness and dynamic range but then again can't compete against the R5 for that!
I got it wrong 😅
Thanks!
8:25 though, looks like dynamic frame rate creeped in, I remember spending hours in the HandBrake app in order to make it constant. Also it was so on point when Pete was asking “Is 4k good?” :) Love your work Peter, as always ❤️
I wonder if Pete charge his new iPhone while recording and it heated up? Also how many percent of battery consumed during 10min headshot VDO?
जय श्री कृष्णा
We've gotten to a point where phone cameras have become the go to point shoot camera now, especially for vlogs. This is the perfect time for anyone who wants to dip their toes in content creation. It's not going to be on the same level as a cinema camera or a mirrorless, but man is it a great way to learn the fundamentals and basics on!
Yeah, I have the A7C (fullframe camera from Sony) and I am actually concidering using my phone (got iPhone 13 pro max now) instead of my camera for vlogs. The important thing is the story you are telling, most people don't care about how the background separation looks. Just grab a mic and you're good to go.
This video was impressive! I WAS able to guess right for the iPhone 14 Max comparison with the Canon cam, but only because the slight depth in the water droplets gave it away. Otherwise, it’s crazy good and took the color grades beautifully.
The video is fantastic. But the IWC on the photos is just WOW. I don't even remember what the video was about! Great choice!!
That Dynamic Island bit had me cracking up 😂
I'd love to see it used at night! We use iPhones for our vlogs since they're so damn convenient, but the video really falls apart at night - especially if you watch it on a large monitor.
As someone that is not a photographer, both photos looked great, but I can tell that there was extra processing in the iPhone one. That being said, I did like the iPhone photo more as the white letters on the wire had more contrast and the water droplets just looked sharper.
I can understand both, but as a novice that likes to do stuff on my phone... I know which one I'm going to buy
For sure the footage looks really good and the stabilising is incredible and the way that ProRes keeps the details is amazing, but it does still look like it wasn't shot with a proper camera. And obviously it wasn't. It was actually quite easy to tell which one of the photos in the beginning was taken with a phone and which one was with a proper camera. Also the way it blurs the hair and beard is just way off. For something that's in your pocket, the iPhone is insane for sure, but for now it won't replace an actual camera.
Can you define "proper camera"? Do you mean a camera that just takes photos or just takes videos? It's not so long ago that people were saying you can't shoot video on a stills camera because it's not a proper video camera.
It's not so long ago people said mirrorless cameras weren't proper cameras because they didn't have a mirror.
It's not so long ago that people said DSLRs weren't proper cameras because they didn't shoot film and real photographers only shoot on film.
Back in 1935 the Leica 35mm wasn't a proper camera because it wasn't large format and you could slip it in your pocket.
The iPhone (or Android if that's your preference) IS a proper camera that happens to also do other stuff. Being able to do other stuff doesn't mean it's not a real camera.
The best camera is and always will be "the one you have with you".
I love how Peter and Marques recommends each other on their videos. True friends right off the bat and I watch them both when it comes to these things lol.
the bike, the pelican cases, the whole studio dope man!
Any camera in a professionals hands can create amazing thing, where I thought it really suffered was in the action mode, the aliasing on the pavers was a jittery awful mess, and of course the fake shallow depth of field trying to mimic a longer focal lengths compression.
Mine is on the way! But the way it looks! Let’s me know you can freaking edit!
Hlo
What about night mode? That’s the key point in my opinion, with photography but especially with video. Does it get noisy? How it compares with the 13 and 12 Pro Max? Cheers!
iPhones always had problems in night mode photography and filmage but compared to the 13s they improved a lot. Even videos don’t get noisy or under/overexposed
@@henrik_lamar I’m especially interested in knowing how the iPhone 14 Pro Max records in low light. I’m aware the 13PM is a step forward from the 12PM (the one I have). Evaluating if upgrading now or wait for the 15.
I would have liked to have seen that tested out
@@henrik_lamar but still unusable because of those dots that appear when light appears in the night
@@Banininator Another reason to see how the iphone 14 pro performs at night 🤔
THIS IS PROBABLY THE DOPEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN...
As great as mobiles are getting I can instantly see that pasty look that reveals it's clearly a phone camera. It's still no contest no matter how many times these comparisons are made. Good video.
I think the difference is still obvious, but the quality of phone cameras is now at such a level that they are ‘good enough’ for many use cases. E.g. many RUclips channels or company videos are not about stunning visuals, but about content and stories. In those cases it’s totally viable to produce with an iPhone as long as the content is good.

The 4k glitch 8:24 is funny. And the skin looks like porcelain smooth. But overall looks like a great product.
Totally LMAO indeed =)
Thanks for another helpful video.
Is the crazy pixilation at 8:24 “Is the 4K good” a secret comment? Probably not.
I love shooting well lit music videos on my old iPhone XS and I’m look forward to the improvements in the iPhone 14.
Unfortunately low light is a week spot on my current iPhone, so noisy.
Has low light shooting improver with the 14?
p.s. Thanks for making Main Street look so good.
I literally came to the comments to see if anyone else spotted that.
Nice catch. I want to know what you are actually getting for that huge 48MP file as well.
I see it too
Reloaded the video to check it wasn’t my buffer 😝
Nice one Peter
Hahaha I'm dead with this detail
3:51 Peter McKinnon starts Freeruning parkour thing 😂😂😂
Hahaha…that F1 flyby was hilarious 😂😂😂…
IMB
This is actually insane, i couldn't tell the difference at first between both shots. Tech is moving insanely fast, hopefully we would be able to keep up with the current gear we have. 🔥 Lovely Pete.
The difference was crystal clear, man...
@@avivar9353 In what world 😂😂
Yeah, the difference was huge, mostly when looking at the glass of the watch, iphone was lacking dimension
@@avivar9353 not for most people that aren’t professional photographers,I would say for most of us the camera of the iPhone was good enough infact I didn’t even knw the video was shot by an iPhone until he mentions it .
@@withmatt1062 In a world where you watched the video on anything but an iPhone 2
Videos comparing the iPhone to expensive cameras give it away to me because I start looking for the over sharpening the phones have but if you filmed a regular Pete video without talking about using a phone I would probably never notice
False. All that can be masked and (within the bell curve) you can't tell the difference.
I still see the difference. The iPhone looks like when you apply surface blur filter in photoshop, and the canon is more detailed and looks good in the highlights. Regarding the video, the post processed blur looks weird in some edges and more when Pete is moving his hands. But still great quality for a phone!
Exactly ...the blur looks weird especially at 4:12 around his hair.
Actually, the Canon is just out of focus on the numbers. That's the whole weakness of the Canon shot. He didn't even get it in focus and then he's comparing it to an in focus iPhone.

@Zealadinn you have arrogance going for you. It’s the knowledge that you need to work on next.
@Zealadinn You're humorous. You state 2 things that are the opposite or reality. Phone cameras don't have an issue with DOF. It's completely the other way around. They typically have too much DOF. They don't try to create DOF clown. They typically attempt to fake bokeh. The sharpening is not to compensate for a lack of DOF. It's to compensate for clarity. Nice try though.
Good job Pete … cards, coffee & camera ! BOOM! Nice work
Very impressive, and like peter pointed out, it levels the playing field which is cool. It's a great starting point for someone on a budget, no need for gimbals, you can take great photos and the quality is good, not just good enough. Sure, pro cameras and lenses are superior and as you progress you will see the need for more features that you just can't get from a phone, but again, this fits in your pocket! I'd be interested to see how the quality of the ultrawide and zoom as those are pretty bad compared to the main camera on my 11 pro max.
I got it right. The iPhone image looked a bit more computationally processed which was the giveaway for me. But very impressive and looking forward to mine arriving at the end of the week. It wont replace my R5, but like having a pretty exceptional camera in my pocket at all times.
Especially as you can just look at the reflection of the iPhone in the glass.
@@gutenbird missed that.
Great Video! It's crazy how good Apple, Google and Samsung phones improve year after year yet companies like Canon are busy restricting third--party lens manufacturers.
Canon is ditching itself.
Love this video Peter. You’ve compelled me to want to buy the iPhone 14 Pro. By the way, the music is awesome!
You make it look easy. Looking forward to the upgrade from my 12 to the 14 pro max.
The iPhone cameras are amazing for their compact size, but, once I got a Canon, I could see a huge difference in the quality of the image compared to an iPhone. You just can't get the richness and detail on a phone that you can from a professional-level camera, but for many people they won't even notice.
But they do notice.
I can say the same thing to a medium frame vs full frame camera. What I notice is that compared to their sizes smartphones delivers excellent pictures because of the algorithm and signal processing.
they won't notice and they won't care are two different things
Which canon exactly?
Pretty impressive results, overall the footage is very usable for most people that just wanna use their phones. The cameras have improved immensely but I could still differentiate them. Great video Pete ♥️
A photographer will spot the difference in an instant.
I see the iPhone quality as "unusable" because I can't get over all the digital sharpening noise etc.. I don't need technical perfection since I'm happy to shoot on an old Pentax K1000 with B&W film but when it comes to digital I'll grab for my Sony gear over an iPhone every day.
Most people won't know either way, but I would.. Can't do it. iPhone is great for snapping a quick pic but It fails the "soul" test.
I've thought iPhone footage has looked great for years now. But using the resulting files in a professional workflow continues to be pretty frustrating. Like everything seems designed to live completely in the phone: editing, grading, etc. Trying to offload the footage and combine in tandem with standard codecs? That's been *real* tough for us. Would love to watch a Two Minute Tuesday detailing how your shop integrates phone footage.
That's what ProRes is about I thought? A codec that is HQ and works beautifully in a timeline outside the phone. Edits, color grades, stretch, resize, you name it.
the camera is super awesome but can we talk about the fantastic music choice in the background for this video. awesome vid Pete !!!
I always watch two videos for the latest iPhone. MKBHD for the tech specs and new features and Pete for the Camera test. Really cool that they each called each other out in their videos this year!
For someone taking photos with a camera, the differences are pretty clear (especially the softness on edges for cinematic videos and heavy shrpening), but that being said phones definetly have much better cameras and software tricks.
It's good enough now I think, I mean, the gain of always having your phone with you, compared to carrying around your bigger camera with multiple lenses is just gonna help you be more creative and focus on the story as Peter mentioned. Now 80% of my time goes to handling gear.
@@RobertBilling Depends on what you shoot. If you need real zoom, you can pretty much forget the iPhone. DOF, pretty much 0 and cinematic mode looks awful imo. Slow motion compared to a camera is bad quality. Handling is poor, stabilization very digital looking... I think there is a usecase for the iPhone but still has a far way to go to actually compete with cameras.
Phone looks great but there's a feel and depth you get with a camera that a phone just won't replace (yet anyway). Felt these two were quite clear which was which... And the fact you can see the iPhone in the reflection.
The artificial depth of field looks like a bad key on a screen, would definitely avoid using this if possible.
Unless iPhones adopt MUCH larger sensors, there will always be a difference 🙌🏼
Rage against the Ai for sure. Nothing like film, massive sensor, and real glass.
Absolutely.
I literally didn't know it was an iPhone till you mentioned it and I even got it wrong with the picture cus. This is really amazing and wonderful video by the way Pet
Action mode AND it floats like a drone. Incredible.
Huh, I thought after all was said and done you’d pull up both photos and take a deep dive into them but we just got the final products.
Phone cameras have come such a long way it’s definitely incredible to see. I know it’s a little outside what you normally do but I’d love some in depth comparisons. I like your style of editing pictures and would like to watch and see your thoughts comparing multiple phones.
Depriving users of a SIM slot, USB-C, fingerprint ID & other features offered by competitors caused me to get my 1st Samsung (Galaxy S22 Ultra)!
I mean it's ok - i can't see that much improvement over iPhone 13 - however compared to your usual videos, the difference is night and day. So anyone can use an iPhone instead of a pro camera at a pintch, but it will 100% be noticeable - specially if viewed on larger displays.
… no it’s not. It’s really noticeable. This is beyond incredible. Don’t even
For those who are watching from phones this looks totally cinematic.
On a bigger screen yeah, lots of noise. I currently have no option but to shoot some videos from iPhone 11 and I know 95% of people are gonna watch it from phones so whatever. Are there any noise reduce tools out there?
Loved how you both promoted each of your channel and video!
is this true Peter McKinnon?
this solves many things, thanks :)
Excellent review as always. You immediately notice the difference between phone and camera due to the tone steps on the watch face. In my opinion the only one that makes sense to buy is the 14 base model which still has double stabilization, Cinematic mode and security features. Professional modes on a phone in my opinion do not make sense. Thank you for your excellent videos. Phenomenal phone anyway.
looks solid. I like where the technology is taking us!

The intro is sick! ❤🔥
Definitely looking forward to a blind camera comparison between this and another big camera like the Sony a7iii
This was hands down THE BEST iPhone 14 Pro camera/cinematography review I’ve seen.
My honest guess was correct, here's why: The over-sharpening of the iPhone's image is noticeable and far too crunchy, the highlight fall-off is very noticeable, and the blacks are much better (IMO) from the camera. The text highlights, the fall-off, and the details of the screws on the camera shot are better (again IMO). Did you happen to move your light? I can see more light on the iPhone image and the iPhone reflection was caught in the watch face. That is just the photos.
With all that being said I totally agree, I love that iPhone (apple) is pushing the bounds of things. I think it makes camera manufacturers step up their game, which benefits everyone in the industry. I love that iPhones are there for you when your camera is not available. That really speaks!
Great video as always Pete!
Liked this video. The stabilization running scene was epic.
3:41 I just love the way he said "Aoutside" 😂😂
Definitely getting the new 14 Pro - it’s so hype
everything this guy touches is gold
I like how you guys are giving shoutouts to each other 🥰
Saw this comparison video and liked it before even watching it. Just because it is from Peter. Quality time baby!
Wow! An intense experience just watching. Amazing Peter.
Lol marques and Peter giving each other shoutouts in their own videos is cool
Was eagerly waiting for this video 😍
For the average person the camera on the iphone far surpasses what is need for them. I love how peter showcases that to the Letter.
Thanks, Peter. These new phones are doing an amazing job. Cheers! 😀
