[@majkoo]

Handy tip: if you use portrait mode but your iphone messes up, you can turn the artificial blur off after the shot is taken by going into the "edit" menu and pressing the yellow "portrait" button at the top. Only works on the rear cameras on my 13 pro, but it's a great thing to be able to do!

[@CGingerbreadman]

You can also change the amount of blur by hitting the f stop to the left of that. Sometimes just turning the amount of blur down a bit looks great. You can at least do that on my iPhone 14 pro

[@The.JZA.]

The camera on my iPhone 13 Pro in general takes nice photos but sometimes they are just too oversharpened. It is especially noticable when there is lots of fine detail like leaves on a tree or grass. I had a Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and while the camera was not as consistent at capturing realistic looking photos, when it did take a good photo it was phenomenal. Really just beautiful photos. I still have a bunch of photos that I took on that phone and even to this day I look back at them and reminisce. The iPhone camera is good, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra camera is phenomenal if a little less consistent. Hopefully Apple will significantly improve their cameras in the iPhone 15 Pro.

[@MaxRovensky]

13:42 I was shooting a lot of Cinematic Mode footage at Ultra and by far the best part about cinematic/portrait mode is the fact that the blur is applied post-noise, so you get a much cleaner low light image. With the right cut pacing, stuff I got with the iPhone looked basically as good as some of the event footage Ultra has put out later

[@manaylodha]

My dad has a 11Pro and will be upgrading soon. He had taken a picture on his germany trip on his 4S years ago and still is his wallpaper and you cannot tell it was taken on a 4S. When I told people about it they would get shocked and be like no way. But the photo still has the timestamp and other meta data to prove it. It was an AMAZING phone too.

[@joesatchton212]

[@matthewmspace]

NGL, I'm surprised how good that 4S is nearly 12 years later. If you posted that to Instagram or other social media today, I don't think you could tell that much difference for the daylight photo of the building. That was my first ever iPhone I bought with my own money too. :)

I love that this video shows how technical Brandon is! I’m more of a conceptual photographer and love imperfections! That 3Gs stuff at the beginning was so interesting to me. Camera tech is so cool and early digital cameras having this renaissance brings out cool work!

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

I’ve been disappointed with the overprocessing in the newer iPhones. Raw helps, but the whole point of a phone camera is to be fast and convenient, if I have to have a whole raw workflow I might as well use a dedicated camera. I’ve been seriously considering getting an 8 Plus or X. They had a weird proto-SmartHDR that sometimes messed up bad, but for the most part looked really good without much signs of overprocessing. And the raw files I got from those were still incredible, it had a unique noise profile which I swear looked almost like grain at lower ISOs and with how sharp the 2x lens was in good light there was so much detail that I cropped some shots from landscape to portrait and vice versa and they still looked awesome on a large display!

[@SashaGS]

0:18 people really saw zooming in those days as a miracle 😂🔥 On another note, remember Blackberry phones they were so cool 🔥🔥

[@D.S.handle]

Not zooming, but the way Apple has implemented this feature using the multitouch display. Before this technology gesture navigation was something very few have ever seen.

[@polymerizedrecords]

My favorite Mac Address so far. There's a certain documentary feel to it and I absolutely loved it. Can we get something like this for cameras on LTT? Like comparing Nikon gens or something?

[@mobydaredcomrade]

I really loved the style, flow, and just overall aesthetic to the video. Keep up the good work

[@TheMrawesomest]

Brandon nails it! It is amazing how far the camera on iPhones (and phones in general) have advanced. Still, over processing, and unreliability of portrait modes are too common. Still, your average user doesn't care or notice (not judging), yet it is great that these devices allow us to capture the moment anywhere and anytime. If Apple releases an iPhone with expandable storage (like a camera), I would seriously consider switching back to iOS. My only iPhone was an iPhone 4. Still have it in its original box.

[@tyleralberico9340]

I got a 13 mini after my 8 Plus and I just don’t like the new camera as much! My two main complaints come from the fact that it feels like I have to be farther away from what I’m shooting for the subject to be in focus if I’m doing some kind of close up, and I actually really liked using the telephoto camera much more than the ultra wide one.

[@petermuller5031]

When I switched from my iPhone 6 to the second gen SE, I also noticed that I have to move the phone further away in order for the subject to be in focus. Sometimes this is really annoying, but the overall picture quality has improved compared to the 6.

[@lucasgomes6096]

Honestly I thought I would use the ultrawide way more than I actually use. They know people like the telephoto more and that’s why it’s behind the “pro” paywall. I don’t think anyone would buy a pro if its differential was a ultrawide camera.

[@SaltyMaud]

@@lucasgomes6096 If only all the cameras were actually equally good I'd use them more. That's kind of the problem with _all_ multiple camera setup phones. The secondary cameras feel like going back 10 years in quality, even on these "premium" phones. Secondary cameras are more utility options when you absolutely can't make the main camera work for the subject so at least you have _something._

Every new Mac Address video just cements how the production of this channel is just leagues ahead of the sister channels. (The other channels are also great) It's a refreshing change of pace where the Mac Address team and their extremely vast amount of autonomy can create videos with the aim of Quality over Quantity with every single clip showing that.

I remember waiting in line for the 4S all night only to find out they didn't have the combination I wanted so I left without buying a phone. In the end when the version I wanted became available I was floored with the 4S camera and how good it was. Between it and my Galaxy Note 2 I don't think I've ever had a better phone camera.

[@RealJoseph123]

@@CreativeMindsAudio That would be a tempting upgrade all on its own! Same here I just upgrade when my phones are on that threshold where battery and some other things are already going. Hoping I can keep this one another 2-3 years at least but fingers crossed the lightning port isn’t here that long…

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

@@humancannonball3827 Yeah this current phone is on over 3 years (got it in october 2019) making it almost the longest modern phone i've ever had (longest is 3.5 years). And it's still going strong too! Battery is only starting to show signs of wear (despite it saying 100% battery health). But it is minor still only need to charge it once a day unless i'm actively using it then twice. But nothing where with my 6s i had to charge it morning (after using it in bed) and night. sometimes even once at work if i used it regularly. I'd say this 11 pro is a great one. I have yet to see anything in the latest models that i feel like i must have. even though the camera improvements are cool, I don't take pictures often with my phone (i have a mirrorless camera).

[@Sumppen]

Just need to point out that first Nokia with a camera came out in 2002, a few months (60 or so) before the original iPhone. In 2005 they had 3MP cameras, and in 2007 5MP. They also had video recording a bit before iPhone 3GS (2003)

[@stephenbrothers9185]

As a photographer I recall sometime around the iPhone 11 being impressed with how far camera phones had come and hoping that it could one day actually replace my (at the time) DSLR. I'm not sure if it's how much better "real" cameras have gotten in the time since, or this overreliance on AI sharpening and scene detection but I find myself using my phone's camera less today than ever. If I want to take a good picture, I get my real camera. Most of my phone's camera roll is just random pictures of part numbers/things I need to remember and very little actual photography. Here's hoping this is something that gets course corrected and we can get back to seeing these phone cameras used to their full potential. Those iphone 14 pro prores shots look really nice.

[@DerangedCoconut808]

out of curiosity, does testing the camera of each phone with the ios version that it came out with affect the results compared to using the said iphone version latest supported ios version since software processing is a thing? would this be a weird variable to all this?

[@LogsMaggot]

I'm extremely ignorant about the matter myself but I'd say it could, software does a lot in photography especially in the latest phones

[@TheAwesomeGuy101]

It would be difficult to get the exact first version of IOS on each phones since you can't downgrade IOS, it would not differ so much that it can make a huge impact. There a few instances that it could affect the processing, but you need to know the logs of each update to know if they've added processing info on that update.

[@leebeeskee]

I'd wager it wouldn't matter because once Apple create a phone and tout it's camera capabilities they stick with it's processing and colour temp until the next hardware refresh.

[@ericiven7168]

[@veneratedmortal4369]

Phones had cameras since the Nokia brick days. I remember seeing the new iPhone when it came out and thinking my phone already had a decent 5mp camera(it might have been 8) and I couldn't make that much of a downgrade as that was the most important feature. It's a given that phones can sent txt and make calls at that point. Make sure you use correct info in your videos.

[@mrnebbi]

Seconded! There was a full on race for the most megapixels. Camera phones were a huge marketing thing back then. The N95 had a cracking Zeiss lens system too. “Camera’s weren’t even common on phones at that point” simply not true.

[@Pasi123]

Yeah, when the first iPhone came out most phones already had a camera. The camera on the iPhone was years behind what everyone else had, and it took years for Apple to match them.

[@D.S.handle]

Absolutely, I’ve noticed that a lot of tech reviewers brush over the cellphone development before the IPhone announcement. While before that there were already many years of smartphones and cameraphones, some of which were pretty common.

This is THE Apple channel to go to and Jonathan never lets me down! I've had them all for the first to the latest and the cameras are the reason why almost all the time.

And I agree, there’s too much processing in the new phones, but my guess is it’s so they can use cheaper hardware & (attempt to) simulate better quality.

This confirms it. I upgraded to the regular 14 from the XR. I don't like the oversharpening effect on the 14, and this was immediately what I noticed when I first took photos on the 14. The color is also a bit cold. I much prefer the naturalness of the XR. I really do hope Apple releases an update to fix these. I've tried the different "photographic styles" on the 14 to see if there is a style that matches the XR, but no. I don't like that Apple gives too many options because then it makes me feel like I have 4 other photographic outcomes. Just let there be 1 standard one, so people don't have to switch to different styles. Styles can be done in post! Apple is supposed to get rid of complexities, that's what theyre known for. Other people call it boring, but I think it just takes one extra decision away from me, which I really value. But yeah, fix the 14 oversharpening and cold tones. I have to live with this for the next 4-5 years!

[@willfancher9775]

The shots from the iPhone debut presentation gave me a video idea for this channel. A retrospective on Apple's place in computing history, with a specific focus on two key historical events. 1) "The Mother of All Demos", in which many of the things that some people wrongly attribute to Apple were introduced far before Apple even existed, but which Apple later introduced into actual consumer products for one of the first times (if not *the* first time). 2) That iPhone event, where Steve Jobs essentially gave "The Mother of All Demos" for smartphones, and *actually* caused Apple to change computing history effectively by themselves. I think the major discussion topics would be just how colossally important these two developments were for how people live in the information age, and how even if they hadn't happened, someone would have done them soon enough.

I mainly shoot travel, landscape, architecture, flowers - things I see around me. I pretty much don't do portraits, so I'm avoiding a whole area where the iPhone maybe has problems (as per MKBHD). I'm happy with the switch for general images. I generally shoot ProRAW and edit in LR. Of course, I now have nothing that naturally shoots longer than 75mm (equivalent), so that might be an issue... Could there be a new camera in my future?

Subsequent phone require you spend way too much money for the "pro" model while the normal model have a useless (to me) ultra wide angle lens along with the defaylt wide angle. One big difference between 3GS and 4 was introduction of HDR which makes a huge difference in sunny/summer scenes.

This video is soo good. More please. This might be the best one yet.

I definitely like the "old phone sensor" look on a Nokia E72 I have, but I don't see it at all on the 3GS.

Great idea for a vid and utilization of other LMGers. I felt seen about ProRAW. The iPhone 14 Pro (going from a 12 Pro) as I like the 48 MP captures more as the feel more “photo-esq”. While photos have been “eh” for upgrades, The one place where Apple really leveled up is ProRes, I’ve been surprised how much better video is with my iPhone 14 Pro. I’ve shot action outdoors stuff like skiing for a KZbin review and doesn’t look “phone” like. Anyhow keep these coming (Mac Address’s entire vibe is on point), I like the non evangelical Apple coverage of Mac Address. I’d love to see Jonathan and Quinn of Snazzy Labs cross paths at some point.

I usually like the Mac Address videos, but this one was a ball out of the park. It's awesome. loved it.

Underrated video bro This is like a tv show

7:35 it’s nice knowing I’m not the only person able to name any iPhone by looking at it lol

the 11-13 is tricky at a distance but it’s easy because small triple lens: 11 pro, medium triple lens: 12 Pro, big triple lens: 13 Pro, JUMBO triple lens: 14 Pro 🤣
