It was such an honour to work on this incredible project with you and to see the new iPhone 16 put through its paces in such varying terrain - the sand dunes of northern Kenya put into sharp contrast the lush green slops of Mt. Kenya .... the whole team from The Safari Series wishes you the best! x
That demo reel is insane man, watched on repeat for a while. Great shots and creativity. It's insane what phone cameras have become. Got Inspired man, Thanks for the work.
What an amazing review of the photographic and filmmaking potential of the iPhone 16 PM. I wholeheartedly agree, Kino and Halide are real powerhouse camera apps. Thanks so much for this inspiring video.
Thanks for letting us know that you can control the pressure and turn off the adjustable controls! This is not disclosed by other iPhone 16 pro reviewers
Wow, that was an awesome review! You didn’t dwell too much on the phone itself, but you really hit the nail on the head with the camera and all the little details. You used such cool landscapes and lighting, it was really impressive! I’m definitely subscribing now and can’t wait to see you grow and improve as a TH-camr. Cheers!
Wow you did amazing putting this phone to work! You simply blew me away with your hands down best review of the camera capabilities 😮 can’t wait for you to get more love from the algorithm
Finally an actual pro camera review from a photographer! Thank you Austin for doing this. Been following your blog posts for years, and so happy to see you putting a video out there as well to complement. This was stunning!
This is my first time discovering this channel and an instant subscribe. For all the iPhone 16 "reviews" I've watched even ones aimed at photographers, this is hands down the best and it's not even close. Furthermore, I actually can't comprehend how you put out such a high quality piece of cinematography in such a short time. The only improvements i can recommend is: 1. When you were talking about getting the low angle shots of the lions, it would have been nice to see some of the photos 2. I would like to hear some of the audio results Overall excellent job and I dream to someday get shots as nice as yours. Cheers
I preordered the iPhone 16 pro 1TB in Natural Titanium. I can't wait for it to come in! I used to always get the max but this year i wanted the pro instead because i do have small hands, cases are a little cheaper compared to the max and apparently this year's pro size for the iPhone is bigger than previous models which is nice! Soooo excited!!
Yes ! I was wondering the same thing - terrific video - but the sound of his voice - I wonder if this was recorded using the Apple microphones? From other reviews - all the audio from them using the AI isolation software sounds simply awful, when other reviewers have tried to demonstrate it … this feels to me like a major failure if so … I hope this is some kind of edit problem due to the inevitable rush to get this non the less spectacular and thoughtful review out so swiftly, rather than the iPhones being incapable of recording passable audio. He does say the whole video was recorded on the phone … gulp.
What is Dallas Taylor's TH-cam link? Exceptional video and review, as to be expected! Thank you so much Austin for taking the time, and resources to doing this!
Only 1300 subscribers? deserve a lot more! this is a mix of a documentary and a review. And the review is even better then some dedicated tech review channels.
Austin, you are doing magic! iPhone or no, you show if you treat the tool you have with all the respect as you do magic is happens! Heats off! Adrian from Austria
Always look forward reading to your iPhone camera reviews, didn’t realise you were here on TH-cam as well! Instant subscribe! 📸 Looking forward to the new 48MP Ultra Wide, Camera Control & Photographic Styles!📱
Using an iPhone X currently so I'm super excited to finally upgrade to the latest and greatest. Before watching your video, I wasn't absolutely certain which model I needed. Thank you for the GREAT review of the iPhone 16 Pro - which has exactly the elements I'm looking for. Beautiful photos and video - - Happy shooting.... :-)
Paused after the demo reel because i was not able to keep watching without commenting. Austin, my Mann, what you've created in that 1:41 is freaking TOP quality documentary teaser. Could be in NatGeo or Netflix. Love to see and read your reviews on this camera every year! Have been an avid reader initialy since few years ago. Your work is a PLEASSURE to watch. Thank you for sharing.
You are the best! Beautiful images of Kenya. Such an inspiring review. It makes me want to rush out now and get my own new 'camera' iPhone 16 Pro and push myself to take more challenging photos and videos. Thank you Austin.
Wow - great review! It’s a shame most TH-camrs are going towards the ‘sit in front of a camera and talk’ type of reviews. This was a breath of fresh air!
Really helpful review. Most of the time I'd just want to have basic camera functions: on/off, zoom and shutter (with half-press focus to come). Can you customise the settings for that?
This is amazing! Africa is like no other country it is very beautiful! Ultrawide lens would you use anamorphic external lens or ulyrawide is basically the same aspect ratio
@@AustinMannStudio I See and good people you met there I getting the iPhone 16 pro I’m very excited love your video you shot on it think it will be a game changer going really use ultra wide is it similar aspect ratio to anamorphic ratio or they completely different and if you had to chose which aspect ratio you would this iPhone camera control also looks cool take care have fun you really got chance to experience amazing place and beautiful people in that country and also the animals just don’t get to close just admire them especially the lions etc going re watch the video over and over again this place is God’s creation and he has a great imagination it is very emotional powerful inspiring the people you met in that country touch me we need to realize God is with them love thier unity family structure clothing attire smile love and so on man it brought tears to my eyes you showed true humanity and love those people are really truly God’s chosen people and your video depicted it and it look incredible!
Hi, amazing what you can create with an iPhone! Nice video 👍 Thanks for that review. Can I ask you what kind of hold and strap do you use for the drop security? (Seen in a helicopter footage e.g.) Thanks!
The 5X camera being less resolution is a big reason to wait for the next version to upgrade. That would make it a complete all purpose camera phone taking a no compromise high zoom photos.
First time coming across your videos!! New fan for sure. Quick question, what setup were you using to hold iPhone? Looks like the peak design wrist strap, but attached to what kind of grip on the back?
yes, I would also like to know. He was sitting in the door of the helicopter shooting and the iphone was clearly leashed to his wrist via a strap connected to an iphone "clamp" or cage of some kind.
So i was using a StudioNeat Glif as the clamp and PeakDesign wrist strap connected to the Glift with a PD anchor. It saved my phone one time when the wind caught it and ripped it out of my hands!
Great detailed video! I ordered exact same phone and I'm interested in filmmaking. Do you have any tips for beginner, what should I study and what should I pay attention at the start. Also I recommend you to watch movie/documentary "Baraka" by Ron Fricke :)
I’m not Austin, but when I am trying to be artistic or capture a moment is just try to choose your shots. Imagine it’s a film camera and you have a limited number of shots to take. That might help your perspective and ultimately your photos.
Wow - what an amazing video. Insightful, concise, informative with opinions - how good is this. What was the iPhone grip you used with the tether to your wrist?
Bro pulled a National Geographic for a phone review .
I can't believe he only have 1.7 k subs. He deserves at least a million or ten.
I much prefer this review to MKBHD or any of the big ones, props to you man, what a video!
mkbhd hasn't reviewed the phone yet and he also talks about more than just the camera
And still this guy has come out with this masterpiece already, specifically for those who care about the cameras, this is just great
Petapixel also published the great review for photographer.
@@ovojdabanks210right
but this just camera performance test
That slo-mo helicopter shots look like they are something out of Dune, but shot on an iPhone!
They look great, but nowhere near ALEXA LF quality lol. Definitely the best video quality out of any smartphone though!

It was such a delight to spend with your wonderful guides and beautiful camp. we hope to be back soon.
TH-cam algorithm did a good job recommending this video for me. Great one. Excited for more content from you.
The ONE iPhone camera review I look forward to every year!
Jesus! In the first 10 seconds, I was already fully convinced that this was gonna be amazing, and I’m so glad that I was right! Simply incredible!
Perfect style of review. Actually using the device rather than just touting specs and being upset it’s not 10x better than last year…
that's what we try to do!
Never knew about your TH-cam channel, absolutely fantastic video, thank you Austin!
Legitimately thought this channel had 1.52M subscribers and was shocked to realize it was only 1.52K.. sub'd off the demo reel alone!
haha! thanks :-)
As every year, the iPhone camera review I’ve been waiting for. Very well done. Thanks for sharing your perspective
thank you!
That demo reel is insane man, watched on repeat for a while. Great shots and creativity. It's insane what phone cameras have become. Got Inspired man, Thanks for the work.
This deserves more views.
This is hands down the best iPhone 16 Pro review for people that are all about video! Woah!!!
This is by far the best and most informative video about the iPhone 16 - thank you :- )
Glad you enjoyed!
The only review I have found that really well describes the camera control and disabling some settings. Subscribed.

Great review, Austin! Upgrading from iPhone 12 to 16 Pro. It's arriving today. Can't wait to dig into everything you touched on in this video.
Great review and stunning shots, both in video and stills 🙌🏻
The sparkles in the sand shots at the end are beautiful!
Excellent review and appreciate the objectivity as always, Austin. Thanks!
Woah! This started like a movie!!! Very impressive thank you for your effort!

The intro alone deserves an Oscar 🎬
Very nice footage and I’m impressed with the camera quality. Nice work
This video is underrated…🔥
Brilliant review, thank you for posting.
Bro this is what we mean by camera review! 🔥 You got a new fan today! Keep it up!!
Great review!

glad to be here!
the editing, the shots.. the MUSIC! OMG
Thank you this was so beautiful and informative
This images are amazing.
What’s TH-cam done to your voice?! Sounds like AI has messed it up?!

Dude now this a damned TH-cam channel and iPhone review! Holy shit!
Great review.
5:28 Finally a clear explanation of how that new button works
Subscribed from this video two minutes in and comments ..nice work!!
Much love you choose Kenya
Great review. Really showing the power of the iPhone. Question I have is what accessories did you use? Wrist strap looks super useful.
Check out his blog post in the link. He mentioned the accessories there. He used a Peak design strap.
Such a great review! I wished there are sample photos but with all the knowledge and insights from a real photographer/videographer, it's 💯!!
Only 1300 subscribers? deserve a lot more! this is a mix of a documentary and a review. And the review is even better then some dedicated tech review channels.

Amazing visuals, but the recorded audio is super mangled. Is it because of the new audio processing features?

Amazing review 👏👏
Just give his video a like guys!
What storage size would you recommend for a hobbyist photographer?
Amazing footage Austin! Was it all handheld in the helicopter? 👀
Wow - what an amazing video. Insightful, concise, informative with opinions - how good is this.
What was the iPhone grip you used with the tether to your wrist?
