    They showed this room during Antenna-Gate with the iPhone 4 so it’s not a very rare thing for you to see it.

      The iPhone 5 came out 12 years ago and there hasn’t been much coverage on this room, how is that not rare? Don’t be an idiot.

    As an Apple user since the first Mac (and a bit before), in the 80’s, I got a bit emotional when seeing this. I do digital media, so, my work does get a bit technical, sure. However, designers aren’t typically engineers and vice versa. How on Earth my MacBook Air M2 is so thin, and yet packs such a tremendous punch in every respect is a total miracle I have the privilege of sitting in front of on a daily basis.

    I have been with iPhone since inception, and don’t plan to stop any time soon.

    I love how they put so much effort into something that a large majority of people don’t even use. Most people don’t film 4K videos on their iPhones everyday. They just use them to post crappy posts that look like they were taken with a potato. Not to mention social media sites compress audio and video clips. So at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter. This is purely all for marketing

    • @superiortoall22

      December 31, 2024 at 6:02 pm

      Not really, app devs actually work Apple to allow for better quality videos and pictures. That’s why Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc look better with iPhones. Apps compress videos from Android phones because most Android phones use a generic app made by devs since they can’t make an app that fits the specific to every single Android phone. What isn’t used by most people is the stupid 8K video that people like to boast about on their Android phones that can’t be played back on nearly all sources (even the phone itself).

      And yes I’ve had both iPhone and Android for the last 4 years.

    this is basically just a commercial
    I’m sure every other company has a similar lab, they prob just don’t have as large of a budget considering their selling u a product at half the price

    Was waiting to see some of the engineers in their labs and hear from them, instead we got 3 executives reading a script. YOU got a look at the lab (maybe), but you didn’t give us a look. I would also like to remind everyone; Apple aren’t the only company that do R&D. I had a Nokia back in the day which had unbelievable audio recording quality without machine learning. And now every other company processes everything with ML/AI, so they’re just doing the bare minimum really. 👍🏻
