Matti, you did a better job hyping me into wanting to upgrade to iPhone 15 than Apple did. Now I want to upgrade. Apple, give him a commission. Thank bro
Also taking a side note the footage you recorded is you living your best life with your Family. I pray all who watch Matti get inspired to work hard but never lose sight of what really is important God bless you
that’s the first time i was genuinely impressed with video captured from a smartphone. really excited to try out the new cameras, they look fantastic!!
My first time was watching kolds video. I guess it was a collab with one plus but it was the best smartphone video ive ver seen. This video here was good, too thoguh.
Nice review. This is the first one I've seen so far that really shows the quality the iPhone 15 Pro is capable of. Shooting in Prores with manual color grading looks very impressive indeed!
Even if you can achieve different perspectives and not lose quality with the different "lenses", won't the depth still be unchanged with each "focal length"?
7:00 but if you have a full frame and you only use a portion of it, i.e., cropping it, you no longer capture as much data as before. Yes, it's not a big deal on a phone because the optics aren't sharp enough blah blah but technically speaking, crop factor on a big sensor does reduce the quality.
This is kinda misleading to be honest. Matti, I love your videos, but cropping in is definitely not the same thing as zooming in optically. You could also just use the "normal" focal length and crop it later on, and that would be the same result as cropping it in while taking the photo. It's not the same as zooming in optically. There's still 3 cameras and then 4 crop presets. I'm not saying the phone cameras are bad in any way, I love what Apple and other brands are doing, but it's still not the same as having an optical zoom
I honestly feel that Apple will definitely be giving us a camera of some sort in the near future like a proper film camera and photography camera because their technology is so good
Wow, this video is absolutely amazing! I was truly captivated by your directing skills and the content you've created. I believe that Apple should consider featuring this video in their advertisements; it's that good! Keep up the fantastic work, and I'll be eagerly waiting for more of your content. 🌟
Incredible footage. Would love to know the waterproof case you used. The footage was incredible and I’ve never had any luck with the ones I’ve tried before. Thanks for the review!
I'm deeply grateful for the professional and beautiful videos you provide. You've always been one of the very few photographer TH-camrs I consistently watch. Would there be a chance for you to create a comparison video between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 Pro's photography results? I'm curious to know if the iPhone 15 offers better image quality and if issues like excessive sharpening have been addressed in the iPhone 15.
The "48mp" sensor is more like 12mp when it comes to actual detail because it's a quad bayer sensor. And when you use one of the made up lenses, it loses even more detail. It is not magic, it's cropping. The phone has 3 lenses and the rest is just misleading marketing. Please watch Tony Northrup's video about this. He explained this pretty well.
This is not completely correct. The statement is correct for the iPhone 14 Pros but the 15 actually natively takes 24 mp Pictures and not 12. This is achieved by it taking one 48 mp and a 12 mp binned picture and then merging them together. But overall most users even “Pro Users” shouldn’t care about the numbers but the result only. And you can still change it to change 48 mp pictures all the time if you need it. Also the extra lenses do not use the full 48 mp that is true, but there is no loss of quality when taking 24 mp pictures. So taking a 35mm picture will be sharper than taking a 24mm one and then zooming in afterwards.
@@Nick-nt1sb They are technically 24mp photos, but the detail isn't what would be expected. It's still the same quad bayer sensor that can't produce significantly better results than a 12mp sensor. There is only a certain amount of detail they can pull out of a quad bayer sensor. The 48mp number is mainly for marketing.
When it comes to computational photography, which is what all phone cameras are doing, the crop actually plays a huge role in how the image is processed, so while it may not be a “true” lens, it is better than cropping in post.
Yeah, he went around in circles trying to explain this because he’s wrong. Those intermediate focal lengths are indeed crops from the sensor. There is no other way to accomplish this in this architecture if you aren’t altering the lenses themselves. They probably are just applying distortion mapping to the fake intermediate focal lengths to make them look more like the zoom compression we expect for those focal lengths.
Matti, this is you at your best, brother. I love the creative approach you're giving to the videos. It's refreshing, it's personal, inspiring. I know we're almost the same age, but "when I grow up, I want to be like you" from a creator standpoint, lol.
About the "lenses": No I'm not mistaken. Yes it's true that from 24 to 35mm, if you shoot at 24MP, it kind of behaves as a zoom lens (with variable aperture but ok). But that's just those 3 focal lengths, which are fairly close together (spanning basically the difference between FF and APS-C). Use the 2x mode and you will get less resolution, and you will see it. Same for the macro mode, which is a crop of the ultra wide. So a crop of 12MP, which already isn't much. And the tele lens is equivalent to a FF lens with an aperture smaller than f/22. That's diffraction territory. I know some artists aren't as good at the technical side of things. I've met a professional photographer who didn't know what hyperfocal distance was. But her photos were great and better than mine. So... I think that's entirely possible.
Exactly. The way its explained in this video is kind of misinforming people a bit. Also this is something that is present in a couple other android phones not just iPhone.
He fully KNEW what he was saying is a complete BS lie. He also knows that most of iPhone cultist care less about the truth so long they are told that they are special for buying one. He knows millions are looking for reviews and not just any reviews but ones that will make the feel good about their next upgrade. He stands to gain portion of that traffic so long he gives them what they want. When it comes to cult like apple, negative news don’t sell. You will notice that no one even holds anyone accountable for any of it. It’s an open secret that they all benefit from. He is a influencer not a journalist after all.
Okay this might be an unconventional question. But im contemplating getting a sony a7 mk iii, which is about the same price as a iphone 15 promax. Would the iphone be close to competing with the mark 3, or is it nowhere close? Ofc the lenses are the major flaw for the iphone. But can the image quality somewhat compete? would be interesting see a video of this sort. By the looks of your shots in this video it could actually be closer than one would realise.
If that is true then that would be good news but iphones have been known for tone mapping in previous models even when shooting in prores. @@chromaticjr.6798
Well... there are different opinions . Watch this video about the 15 pro max :Tony & Chelsea Northrup - " The Truth" This TH-camr says that everything Apple says is a lie, you end up with pictures Downscaled to 3MP , the real aperture of the 120mm lens is f 21, the iphone 14 pro is better , etc. 🤣😆😂
Not Blaming anyone yyoutubers doing they job they creating videos = views = Money “ so they doing they regular job “not my business this how they make money” . Now give your self question they advertising iPhone 15 Pro cameras how good they are how Pro user will use BUT THEY ALL USING big lens cameras “DSLR or other “ to record they review videos is not funny HA HA
that's not right Matti, the crop in 28mm and 35mm is a digital zoom of the 24mm shoot, instead of the 2x(48) that's not a digital zoom but the phone use only the center of the sensor like a 1,5 apsc crop on full frame, this mode doesn't use all the sensor but only a part of this.
6:55 what a load of BS. The non-max version optical 3x has much better quality than pro max “crop 3x” So there is a loss of quality. Also uses a smaller portion of the sensor, so less photons being used, therefore quality will be worse especially on low light, than why a dedicated zoom lens/sensor
There are just 3 lenses its only software and there is no magic, becasue the 1x camera can do 48 mpx you can do like the 28, 35 etc "lossless" but only while doing it in 24 mpx so there is nothing not understandable you are just digital zooming with keeping the resolution low for both and doing some ai magic for disortion etc but dont talk about it like its something magic its just cropping more resolution than you need in wider effects do keep the resolution in narrower and its kinda useless
Cinematic mode has really shitty implementation, and even in your example with the zoom you can see a ton of artefacts and blurry edges here and there (everywhere to be precise). It is strange to see you happy with this poor result, especially as a professional filmmaker.
You say that you care about technology and then you continue saying that for the first time the footage didnt look like it was shot on a phone. You should have tried the Xperia 1 III, IV or V … btw, while you are at it? Try the 120frame mode and see what a phone can do. Or skip it and be surprised when apple adds this feature after many years… PS: For a „tech guy“ you should stop using the word „magic“… You are just playing into the marketing hands of these companies, look at what other photographers say about the phone, they are actually quite critical..
It actually looks really amazing. You do talk similar to Apple, that uplifting/inspirational kind of way. However the results back up what you're saying. As a non-Apple user, it makes me wonder when Android will pull their finger out and actually take video as seriously.
I love how you captured the memories so well, with the people and moments as the priority, not just a shallow depth of field or "the look" of it like I see in other cases.
Thanks for a photographer's perspective Matti, the footage you captured was stunning! My pro max is coming this week and I am looking forward to it. The one thing I am hugely disappointed in from Apple is the fact they haven't increased the internal storage capabilities up to 2tb. That way it would be easier to actually use the prores in real scenarios without filling the storage up to quickly when it is shared with all the other apps we install etc. I do think this maybe a move to try to get more people to sign up for the icloud, which does work for me and my slow rural internet connection at home.
@@AaronEmeraldI do have dedicated cameras. But the more and more video content I create daily on Facebook, insta and TikTok it’s a lot easier to do everything run and gun on my phone for quick capture and edit on the device without having to download and edit on a laptop. It saves me a lot of time using the phone for everything.
Looks like the LOG Profile doesn't disable the dynamic tone mapping. Hope third party apps will be able to use LOG profile (which has open API) and record in ProRes LT.
Im curious as to what you did to make the footage look so good! Im assuming you did some color grading but was there anything else you did that significantly improved the way the footage looks?
I have a 13 mini and love the size. I would like to upgrade, but I think the 15 pro max is too big and heavy. The size and weight of the normal 15pro is just about acceptable thanks to the use of titanium. I ask whether the better 5x zoom justifies the more uncomfortable handling. whether you really use the 5x magnification that often. For portraits, 3 times is perfect.
The only thing that affects lens compression is your distance from the subject when taking the photo. It doesn't matter whether you use a native 5x or a 5x digital crop of a 1x, lens compression will look the same provided the photos were taken from the same spot. This isn't what people are confused about. The 28mm/35mm etc presets are no different than just zooming to that same focal length on a 14 Pro Max. There are only 3 native focal lengths, the focal length settings in between are simply crop/zoom presets, so its misleading to say it has 7 lenses. You say there's no loss of quality when going from 24mm to 35mm etc but you're using a smaller area of the sensor and fewer pixels, so it's impossible for there not to be a loss of quality. The only question is how perceivable it is. I'd like to see a comparison of the native 3x of the Pro vs the cropped 3x of the Pro Max.
13:20 What can you get for that price point that does everything? Well I'm glad you asked SAMSUNG S23 ULTRA💆♂️or a pixel for almost less Also I'm not an American so i dont know how imessege looks like we use whatsapp
Perspective distortion lol. If you have a a “24mm” full frame field of view then you crop the sensor to make that 24 a 35 on the same lens, then you have to stand back to get the same frame. So the perspective distortion changes. It’s the same from APSC to medium format
Hey Matti, nice and helpful introduction to the new iPhone. Would be awesome if at some point you could do a comparison to prosumer cameras like the Sony A7S III/FX 3. I think, highlighting the pros and cons (and possibly shortcomings of either system) could be very helpful to a lot of us filmmakers when deciding in which direction to proceed with additional gear etc. Would you consider using the new iPhone in your professional work? Thanks :-)
The video quality on the iPhone is what keeps me coming back to the iPhone. There's just no comparison on Android... And no I'm not an iPhone fanboy, I actually prefer the Android OS, but facts are facts.
I have 5x on my samsung s20 Ultra that came out in 2020, i've found it great when filming sports competitions, honestly my favourite feature of this phone because the quality compared to the other lens' is weirdly fantastic. Probably has nothing on current technology though to be fair, side by side.
@@himynameisryan you can zoom all the way to 100x but 5x is the default option in the S20 Ultra for telephoto, technically however the telephoto lens starts at 4x where the quality is 100%, obviously the more you zoom from there the more the quality decreases.
I’d say there are 3 CAMERAS (because each lens has its own sensor). Each camera has a fixed lens and uses sensor cropping, noise reduction and other software to simulate different focal lengths (7 in total it seems). And those focal lengths can be zoomed further by way of digital zoom. So three cameras, three lenses, and lots of magic,
You are totally correct ! (in my opinion) Yes its just cropping the sensor on for instance 3x lens and using a diff focal length of that lens itself. It has to crop the sensor otherwise there would be a load of black around the final image. Same with 2x. That is why 2x is only 24mp and 3x is 12mp. 2 x is in video 4k terms just like cropping the full 4k sensor to 1080p. If you get my drift.
Hey @mattih can you do a Masterclass to teach how to record such footage on the iphone with the settings and then how to edit the footage (color grading) using DaVinci Resolve or any other software. Am so eager to learn from you!
There’s literally no limit to camera innovation i always thought that you can’t create shallow depth of fields from phones but every single year engineers manage to make it happen and it gets better and better every year . Mind blowing
For FILM MAKERS who are not tied to the Apple eco system and want to use a phone for content creation I’d challenge you to compare the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the Sony Xperia 1 mark V as a tool. I believe if you consider features VS Price you’ll find the Sony a MUCH better option. I have a friend getting an Apple 15 Pro Max soon and will be able to compare them for a more firm opinion about this.
Fab review Matti! Great shots in a variety of settings. The skin tones are unbelievable too. When not using my pro dslr's, I've been using the 13Pro Max exclusively for photo and video work coupled with the Filmic Pro app and getting outstanding results! May look at upgrading after you showed off the wide uses and flexibility of the new lenses + the variable DOF for portraits. Way cool! Another vote that you should do demo videos for Apple 🙂 Cheers and thanks from Montréal.
We know, we know, the best ever, this and that, battery still not good but better, charging not fast enough but just leave it overnight and cameras, cameras, so much potential 😮
No confusion there are only 3 lenses. The rest are preset cropped versions which degrades the image resolution to much fewer mp or pixels. The images are BAD …please look at other side by side comparison on TH-cam. You sir are Dead wrong on this issue. The 120 mm is the equivalent of a f21 aperture on a true 120mm camera lens.
yes, please do a full video on the whole "7 lens". i question their claims of 'lossless' quality. you never hear photographers saying i got a 24mm prime but i don't need a 35mm because my 24 can do the same. they buy both lens if that's what is needed because there is a difference.
It’s still only 3 lenses no matter how you look at it. What you described is still digital zoom. You wouldn’t say a 24-70 is 56 different lenses. It’s a (optical) zoom lens. Putting a prime lens on and using aps-c mode or super 35 is literally the definition of a digital crop
Unbelievable how good the Log Prores video is 🙌🏻 this is huge for filmmakers just starting out.
Absolutely! For $1000 it’s the best you can get. Maybe at some point they will add Pro-Res Raw!
we can record all the apple pro res versions with blackmagic camera app 👽 they werkin together with Apple

This is called a lie making things up with 0 evidence. Apple don’t pay anyone to lie.
Same here!! I didn’t want it.. but after watching.. I bought te pro max 😳.. give Matti money because he really flipped me over
I have to agree with you, you should ask apple some commission, I’ve watched a few other videos but this one sold me on the Pro Max!

Nah, always integrated into the phone.
I’ll pass . Don’t want to pay for more than a full frame as their prices are going to be sky high for a tiny sensor like this
I’ve been thinking about this for like 2 years now! Would be very interesting
Apple uses Sony sensors in their cameras, so unless they make an Apple Sony camera I doubt this will happen
The computational tech on a S35 or larger sensor would be nuts. And also extremely expensive 🤣

@@AaronEmeraldI do have dedicated cameras. But the more and more video content I create daily on Facebook, insta and TikTok it’s a lot easier to do everything run and gun on my phone for quick capture and edit on the device without having to download and edit on a laptop. It saves me a lot of time using the phone for everything.
Dude WHAT is that music and WHERE can I find it?!😮
Matt is an apple fun boy, I use the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I don't think is worth upgrading.
This is incredible dude. Great job on the footage and the explanation
Looks like the LOG Profile doesn't disable the dynamic tone mapping.
Hope third party apps will be able to use LOG profile (which has open API) and record in ProRes LT.
The new blackmagic app allows Apple log and the ability to shoot Pro Res 4444 and all the ProRes flavors
Im curious as to what you did to make the footage look so good! Im assuming you did some color grading but was there anything else you did that significantly improved the way the footage looks?
Ever owned a Gopro and wonder why your footage looks as good as their ads? The only difference is really high editing, color grading experience.
so if apple has 7 cameras now by cropping other phones have 50 cameras by cropping too lol
I have a 13 mini and love the size. I would like to upgrade, but I think the 15 pro max is too big and heavy. The size and weight of the normal 15pro is just about acceptable thanks to the use of titanium. I ask whether the better 5x zoom justifies the more uncomfortable handling. whether you really use the 5x magnification that often. For portraits, 3 times is perfect.
Faces on iphone offen look like faces from wax figures. But the rest is great.
Apple has to consider making a proper DSLR at this point
You’ve sold me💸
The only thing that affects lens compression is your distance from the subject when taking the photo. It doesn't matter whether you use a native 5x or a 5x digital crop of a 1x, lens compression will look the same provided the photos were taken from the same spot. This isn't what people are confused about.
The 28mm/35mm etc presets are no different than just zooming to that same focal length on a 14 Pro Max. There are only 3 native focal lengths, the focal length settings in between are simply crop/zoom presets, so its misleading to say it has 7 lenses.
You say there's no loss of quality when going from 24mm to 35mm etc but you're using a smaller area of the sensor and fewer pixels, so it's impossible for there not to be a loss of quality. The only question is how perceivable it is. I'd like to see a comparison of the native 3x of the Pro vs the cropped 3x of the Pro Max.
That pro res log montage was insane. Had no idea it could look that good.
13:20 What can you get for that price point that does everything? Well I'm glad you asked
SAMSUNG S23 ULTRA💆♂️or a pixel for almost less
Also I'm not an American so i dont know how imessege looks like we use whatsapp
Perspective distortion lol. If you have a a “24mm” full frame field of view then you crop the sensor to make that 24 a 35 on the same lens, then you have to stand back to get the same frame. So the perspective distortion changes. It’s the same from APSC to medium format
Great video Matti
Hey Matti, nice and helpful introduction to the new iPhone. Would be awesome if at some point you could do a comparison to prosumer cameras like the Sony A7S III/FX 3. I think, highlighting the pros and cons (and possibly shortcomings of either system) could be very helpful to a lot of us filmmakers when deciding in which direction to proceed with additional gear etc. Would you consider using the new iPhone in your professional work? Thanks :-)
The video quality on the iPhone is what keeps me coming back to the iPhone. There's just no comparison on Android... And no I'm not an iPhone fanboy, I actually prefer the Android OS, but facts are facts.
Your video’s color is quite good. I also produce videos related to travel in Japan 🇯🇵. I’ve learned a lot from your video, thank you! ❤
Right when I was ready to buy Canon R5 . I m gonna have to put that on hold 😅 for now
Haha 😂
@@mattih and save my money 💰
I have 5x on my samsung s20 Ultra that came out in 2020, i've found it great when filming sports competitions, honestly my favourite feature of this phone because the quality compared to the other lens' is weirdly fantastic. Probably has nothing on current technology though to be fair, side by side.
Doesn’t the s20 ultra have 10x zoom?
@@himynameisryan you can zoom all the way to 100x but 5x is the default option in the S20 Ultra for telephoto, technically however the telephoto lens starts at 4x where the quality is 100%, obviously the more you zoom from there the more the quality decreases.
@@cj.blackedits3289 thanks for clarifying
That intro piece was flame 🔥 the story fr but the iphone 15 pro looks solid!
I’d say there are 3 CAMERAS (because each lens has its own sensor). Each camera has a fixed lens and uses sensor cropping, noise reduction and other software to simulate different focal lengths (7 in total it seems). And those focal lengths can be zoomed further by way of digital zoom. So three cameras, three lenses, and lots of magic,
You are totally correct ! (in my opinion) Yes its just cropping the sensor on for instance 3x lens and using a diff focal length of that lens itself. It has to crop the sensor otherwise there would be a load of black around the final image. Same with 2x. That is why 2x is only 24mp and 3x is 12mp. 2 x is in video 4k terms just like cropping the full 4k sensor to 1080p. If you get my drift.
Lmfao I am looking at all my sony gm lenses and scratching my head. This is nuts
Was that the legendary other Haapoja brother? Do my eyes decieve me?
Sure was 😊 he’s visiting!
Hey @mattih can you do a Masterclass to teach how to record such footage on the iphone with the settings and then how to edit the footage (color grading) using DaVinci Resolve or any other software. Am so eager to learn from you!
Best and most relatable Apple ad I've seen in a long time.
this iPhone is awesomeeeee🤧🔥
Matti, please test the new Blackmagic Camera app with the Pro.
There’s literally no limit to camera innovation i always thought that you can’t create shallow depth of fields from phones but every single year engineers manage to make it happen and it gets better and better every year . Mind blowing
For FILM MAKERS who are not tied to the Apple eco system and want to use a phone for content creation I’d challenge you to compare the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the Sony Xperia 1 mark V as a tool. I believe if you consider features VS Price you’ll find the Sony a MUCH better option. I have a friend getting an Apple 15 Pro Max soon and will be able to compare them for a more firm opinion about this.
Seeing Kai and Coco grow in front of my eye makes me feel like I’m apart of the family ❤️
Lots of love from Northeast India ❤️
Sounds like an advertisment lol
Ar-Rahman (Arabic: الرحمان, ar-raḥmān; meaning: The Merciful) is the 55th Chapter (Surah) of the Qur'an, with 78 verses (āyāt). ...
Am i the only one who feels Matti Sounds like Tim Cook ?
😂
Fab review Matti! Great shots in a variety of settings. The skin tones are unbelievable too.
When not using my pro dslr's, I've been using the 13Pro Max exclusively for photo and video work coupled with the Filmic Pro app and getting outstanding results! May look at upgrading after you showed off the wide uses and flexibility of the new lenses + the variable DOF for portraits. Way cool!
Another vote that you should do demo videos for Apple 🙂
Cheers and thanks from Montréal.
What underwater iPhone case are you using?
We know, we know, the best ever, this and that, battery still not good but better, charging not fast enough but just leave it overnight and cameras, cameras, so much potential 😮
Great video, Matti! One of the best I've seen that really nails how good these cameras are getting. Beautiful shots! Cheers!
You think this can be a good phone for filmmaking or would the 15 pro max?
Can you shoot ProRes and Log in Cinematic mode?
I want to know this too!
INSANE! How did you shoot the under water stuff?
Just a lil underwater case with one of those domes.
Definitely paid lol
If you have great skills of color grading then any phone which recorde 4k 60fps can shoot like this
Wow that actually looked great
No confusion there are only 3 lenses. The rest are preset cropped versions which degrades the image resolution to much fewer mp or pixels. The images are BAD …please look at other side by side comparison on TH-cam. You sir are Dead wrong on this issue. The 120 mm is the equivalent of a f21 aperture on a true 120mm camera lens.
yes, please do a full video on the whole "7 lens". i question their claims of 'lossless' quality. you never hear photographers saying i got a 24mm prime but i don't need a 35mm because my 24 can do the same. they buy both lens if that's what is needed because there is a difference.
Matti is always my dude before I decide to upgrade. I guess the 12 Pro Max is finally getting traded in.
Personally, I can very visibly tell especially on 5x that’s it phone footage. It just has that look
I was going to skip this phone altogether. You sold me. I had no idea about the ProRes LOG.
Warning: Don't watch this video else you'd be tempted to upgrade to iPhone 15 😂
It’s still only 3 lenses no matter how you look at it. What you described is still digital zoom. You wouldn’t say a 24-70 is 56 different lenses. It’s a (optical) zoom lens. Putting a prime lens on and using aps-c mode or super 35 is literally the definition of a digital crop
Great video Matti. I loved the first 2 minutes especially.
Thanks man 🙏🏻
Does the iPhone 15 Pro ever get hot when recording 4K @ 60fps or charging the battery.
Is there a rec.709 conversion lut for the new LOG footage the iphone produces?
Has anyone found a conversion LUT that works with the ProRes Log footage?
