[@rodrigocontreras1656]

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".

[@abelardojeda]

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.

[@rjpearson]

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. 😕

[@ToxicHorsePucky]

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.

[@anihilistsweetpotato9535]

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.

[@quinn9240]

yeah i don't even know the first thing about cameras or photography, but it was immediately obvious to me for the above reasons.

[@u.b.469]

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!

[@thehandyguy]

Yeah it messes with my head so much 😅

[@sundaynightdrunk]

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.

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.

[@elliotmarks06]

One IMPORTANT thing to notice is that this video was shot in a studio environment, and edited by a professional editor. I am SO impressed with the strides mobile cameras have been making lately, but it is truly in the rough scenarios where real cameras tend to shine.

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.

[@kalimarus]

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.

[@michaelbell75]

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.

Everything looks a bit too smooth but simultaneously oversharpened, I think cinematic mode got the blurring just a bit wrong, etc.

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.

[@BeginningAdventure]

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".

[@jonathanpwoods]

the bike, the pelican cases, the whole studio dope man!

[@McKinleyGriggs]

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!

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.

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.

[@amirmukhtar1890]

Canon is ditching itself.

[@theCreativeSav]

The music!!! Peter!! WOW....and the video too, obviously😅...but the MUSIC!😍

[@Idlaff]

the camera is super awesome but can we talk about the fantastic music choice in the background for this video. awesome vid Pete !!!

[@upcomingvillain]

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

[@krane15]

False. All that can be masked and (within the bell curve) you can't tell the difference.

[@christianisaacjones]

Unless iPhones adopt MUCH larger sensors, there will always be a difference 🙌🏼

[@cremephoto]

Rage against the Ai for sure. Nothing like film, massive sensor, and real glass.

[@christianisaacjones]

Absolutely.

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.

[@rockrecordreport7136]

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 pixelisation of the video at 8:25 when he says 4K haha, perfect!

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.

[@Psychadelirious]

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.

[@jetsetjoey]

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)!

[@mrm7]

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.

[@bryceallen98K]

… no it’s not. It’s really noticeable. This is beyond incredible. Don’t even

[@RedRumble14]

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?

[@serendipity6277]

Can we talk about the card skills! The editing was fire. You were lit up and amazing. Thank you.

[@mshamatuli]

Love this video Peter. You’ve compelled me to want to buy the iPhone 14 Pro. By the way, the music is awesome!

[@angelorenna]

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.

[@shaukahodan2373]

looks solid. I like where the technology is taking us!

[@BugalooB]

Lol marques and Peter giving each other shoutouts in their own videos is cool

[@AndrewClare]

The fact this is cinematic mode! 😮

[@scrunchielive5353]

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

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thanks, Peter. These new phones are doing an amazing job. Cheers! 😀

[@MouhammedAliM]

I love the fact that you and mkbhd shouted each other out for the point where they were lacking 😎

[@darkknightwithanidea1845]

Good job Pete … cards, coffee & camera ! BOOM! Nice work

[@ThePlantParadigm]

Definitely getting the new 14 Pro - it’s so hype

[@Tashas_Travels]

The video, the beat , the phone, everything was amazing. I never get tired of watching Peter.

[@Storyland-12]

I like how you guys are giving shoutouts to each other 🥰

[@GavinSeim]

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.

[@B1TN3RD]

Saw this comparison video and liked it before even watching it. Just because it is from Peter. Quality time baby!

[@glyndewis]

Holy Moly!! REALLY glad I ordered it now 😃

[@ArmaniV03]

Definitely looking forward to a blind camera comparison between this and another big camera like the Sony a7iii

[@carlclippedit]

everything this guy touches is gold

[@Mazharkhan.]

3:41 I just love the way he said "Aoutside" 😂😂

[@danielbammes8229]

I don't know if I have a better eye than most but I was able to spot the iphone photo almost instantly. The HDR effect that it gives to images is a little too noticeable sometimes and I spotted the hands on the watch face being much too bright for the surroundings. You could bump down the contrast, highlights, or whites in post and it would've been a bit harder to discern. As far as the video goes, Apple's video doesn't come close to what you get on some of the cameras of today. I am not a fan of the digital blur and I honestly USB stream through a camera for Facetime, Zoom, and Teams meeting while in the office for a much better appearance because both the Iphone and Mac cameras are lacking. Anyways, nice video as usual!

[@gkarkalis]

This was hands down THE BEST iPhone 14 Pro camera/cinematography review I’ve seen.
