All pro iPhone models are made for film making, portable and has good detailed cameras

iPhone Pro (including Max) is engineered for pro-grade video production.
Whereas the regular iPhone (including Plus), is more of an after thought.

These comparisons are soooo stupid. And yet I watch and enjoy them for no reason…

I don’t think so, camera and lenses cost only a fraction of the whole budget when it comes to professional filmmaking. And even if you use an iphone to shoot a film, you still have to use tripod , cage and other gears for your iphone, still the quality would be far cry from professional cameras and lenses.
The difference between using an iphone and Alexa camera in most main stream projects wouldn’t be considerable in overall cost of the project

probably one of the best CNET produced videos… all the other CNET contributors should take note.

For those of us who use the iPhone professionally, a basic question arises: why not use add-on lenses, often costing around $300, to approximate the prime focal lengths used on the Blackmagic camera? There are several well-established lens options for the iPhone, including probe lenses, and using them would have addressed some of the limitations being discussed.

Thanks for the review. I wounder if there may be a video comparison with iPhone uses 3rd party add-on lenses that may produce better results?

My choice of cameras would be pixel 9 pro xl and the Xiaomi 15 series.

Thank you for the great comparison. I am sold. 😊 Iphone, and other smartphones ,can be used for production work, especially for a reporter at a well lit sence.

Yikes! 😬 The iPhone shots look downright bad in comparison to the Cinema Camera. Crunchy details, overdone denoising and poor dynamic range mad the iPhone look out of focus and badly exposed.
Sorry but the Pyxis is the clear winner here by miles

I’m more of an Android person, but I wouldn’t mind using both an iPhone Pro & a Sony Experia to record videos

So you used the iPhone with no lenses but multiple attachments on the big camera. Seems fair… not

Excellent video comparison! At lease Apple is excelling in the camera department, especially since it cannot seem to figure out the mythical “Apple Intelligence” thing…

They just need to figure out how to get more depth of field on iphones then we’ll have something special. Maybe they could get the aperture to something like 1 or even lower. Or allow depth mapping data in Apple Log to mimic it.
