Unless your playing resident evil and capturing in their upgraded 4k, you can literally buy an iPhone 13 and get the exact same thing, if you want to do film buy a camera you can get more settings for less if you want to play high end games get an xbox or pc. As a phone every day product their is no need for there newer phones so all the complaints are meaningless to the average person. Oh i can customise my app icons, who cares.

At a guess, the stereo sound option might be doing a similar thing to Samsung's "zoom sound", where it tries to focus in on subjects that are farther away as you zoom the video. Not sure why they'd call it "stereo sound" but your demo reminded me of zoom sound.

To be fair, I think lens lock being off for default is more useful for most people. Having the option to get the better quality zooms and wide angle at all mid filming is worth the small conk or lack of stabilisation on ultra wide, as most people aren't changing their zoom between as often as a cinematographer. This is especially true since the colours and light performance between the cameras has narrowed to the point where the transition is otherwise visually seamless.

Same with media players, its either knock of nuggets, or some high end stuff you really invest in. Like, i dont mind spending some money on something i love, but i have many hobbies, and nowadays everything just seems to call out "you gotta pick one and stick to it, if youre not willing to drop 300 dollars on this, you dont like the hobby enough, and you should buy landfill that will break in less than a year like the rest of the plebs" Like no my guy, i jus want _decent_ stuff.

9:12 The auto-stabilization is accomplished by digitally cropping in on the shot so you don’t see the edges moving. That obviously doesn’t work when you’re zoomed all the way out to 0.5. The actual camera sensor moves enough to compensate for a bit of wobbling, but if it starts shaking a lot the software starts cropping, hence the need to zoom back in. Hope that makes sense.

IIRC in video mode the footage is always cropped a slight bit to account for Electronic Image Stabilization, on my SE switching to the video mode crops into the footage quite a bit. They're using EIS in combination with OIS for extra stabilization, the difference is that the 0.5x lens on the iPhone has no OIS, so you see all the motion blur from your shaky hands being smoothened out by EIS when zoomed out far. When you zoom into the 1x lens that does have OIS, the sensor physically moves, cancelling out the motion blur from hand movement and you get clean footage (unless you move the camera quicker than the OIS can compensate, like for panning or very violent shaking).

Like a wise man's mother said: "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" literally we've come to the point where even a old flagship phone from 1 to 2 years is good enough. Edit: i understand that people doesn't think the same about a 100$ phone

"You already have a toxic rectangle spewing trash into your brain. Why do you need another?" That made me laugh so hard. There are whole movies about phones being terrible for you, and he summed up every one of them in one sentence 😂😭

I appreciate your approach, man. Honest but not overly negative about the shortcomings. I basically have to upgrade this year from my X and I’m feeling down about it, as well as not knowing which to get, Pro or Pro Max. Those other reviewers claim honesty but it’s just manufactured negativity. You’re out here making fun of these stupid quirks and features and it makes me feel better about what I’m gonna get. It’s gonna be an upgrade no matter what! Subbing!

It's because a lot of those reviewers who claim they've received no compensation for the reviews are also quite happy to take free all expenses paid trips, home and abroad, and eat at fancy restaurants on companies money. They've been bought and paid for by freebies and access to review units (release day review videos do far better after all).

I love that you run many extremely successful channels with phones as cameras. It really shows how good they truely are. I see a lot of people invrst a ton of money into cameras just to try content creation. Its not necessary. The barrier to entry is small and its all about the content and the creator.

Wade I knew you did cars and drums as well as phones, but finding out you where the one that made those Simpsons' remixes I used to watch as a kid blew my mind. Bravo Sir, and thank you for being a true KZread polymath.

The want vs need argument is very applicable to modern day phones. I have a phone from 2016 and it still can do pretty much everything I need to. Yeah I have to keep a charger in my car to keep it topped off on battery but by the time I’m done doing what I’m doing and go back to my car I can just plug it back in in-between destinations.

LOL! You are so right about any professional cameras! Beautiful pics but only if you can really use it - I mean take it out of program mode. For most pics, which aren’t gonna be in high end magazines, movies - or art galleries, your cell phone is more than enough.

after finding your videos and seeing how you describe audio and the sound stage that can be created with tech i've become interested in the audiophile side of things. will you ever do a video going over your headphone room and how the tech works to build a clean sound with headphones or speakers? also any beginner recs on the technical side of learning these things? working on my first bluetooth ipod thanks to this channel love the content

Have you considered trying out a gimbal, Dank? Idunno if it's for you, but it's basically a stabilizer handle for your phone, with a zoom button. One of them is the DJI Osmo. Since you do so much action filming, it might make it easier to film?

the stereo recording sample sounded like how you hear a mosquito when you can see it vs when you can't see it

4:03 you should probably know this, and you probably do but the 5S and older wont properly work after the 3G shutdown in Aus. While the 5C is "4G" it doesnt have VoLTE (voice over LTE/4G) meaning when it makes a call it switches to 3G, meaning it wont be able to receive calls.

These “features” remind me of windows spatial sound. I turned it on to see what it does. Turns out it makes everything echo, and in one game one game only it makes gun shots 200% louder then everything else. Which is fun when theres always atleast 5 guns going off.

windows spatial sound has applications for specifically spatial audio processing but none of that tech is really utilized by games so it just applies a reverby wide stereo to everything and sounds awful. windows spatial sound isn’t bad for some premade audio playback though

Just caught up on this video, and thank you for pointing out all of those “features”. Have a 12 pro max as well and this is a life saver!

Best review of the 15 that I’ve seen online. The zooming example had me dying

From what I recall the record steep sound feature is supposed to (attempt) to isolate the sounds of what your zooming into which is why your voice gets quieter.

@@YTC1234 I think the bigger issue was the fact that it was named "Record stereo sound" which an average person would probably interpret as recording two-channel audio rather than as a "microphone zooming" feature.

i upgraded my 12 Pro Max to a 13 mini (ok maybe more of a sidegrade) this year and haven't looked back. The form factor is perfect and i hope it's what the classic turns into at some point, as i have no reason to lug around such a massive phone anymore and would hate to have to compromise on power/camera capability just to not have to shell out a grand on a monster phone. I only use my phone for music and messaging and everything else i use a laptop for. Heck i would have gone back and used my 6s Plus for the sake of saving money had it not been getting oddly warm every time i try to use it nowadays.

No, it's because your phone has 3 cameras on the back.

For me the stereo sound record works best in concert settings where it perfectly captures the artist.

If I had to guess .5x isnt stabilised because otherwise you’d start getting occasional vignette from seeing the edge of the lens, I know when I use a fisheye on my camcorder I have to turn off OSS for that reason. Not that a wide needs much stabilisation tbh

I got a 13 Pro, not Max, specifically for the camera. The wide-angle lens nearly blew my mind and has fully replaced my old standalone camera with a proper wide-angle. I'm going to be using that sucker for as long as possible, because the changes between phones are too incremental to go year-to-year.
