Any way for us to confirm this is real footage from the 6s?

Whats going on with the 4k video recording? I was expecting to be blown away as I was by the sample videos I've seen on Samsung's devices of what a phone sensor can be capable of for video. The inconsistent exposure, amount of noise, and lack of detail in every sample video I've seen even when downconverted to 1080p (downconverting 4k video should equate a sharper 1080p video).
In these first two videos, the level of noise on the leaves and grass respectively is just awful frankly.
Handles motion poorly, colors don't pop at all and there's a lack of sharpness.
Looks awful The Verge's review as well.
Was really expecting a whole lot better than this. These sample videos look really bad.
That casey neistat(sp?) video looks crispy as hell. We live in marvelous times that our cellphones can take video like this.
I have always thought that there are 2 different algorithms for youtube uploads. If you look at joe shmo's 1080p-4k uploads, they look like ass. But look at a big time guy like casey, or MKBD and everything is crisp and high bitrate.
Try uploading them to a better video hosting service like Vimeo. I've seen Google compression do some terrifying things to uploaded video - both YouTube and Google Drive.
Checked out Casey Neistat's YouTube video on my 4K Samsung last night.
I really like how you produced the final video and loved all the up close shots then fly always in high speed to get infinity landscape shots. That is the newer expensive Dji quad I presume with the 4K cam with pretty good fov that the myth buster guys enjoyed playing with???
I would love to see the raw video clips of that. I have a server if you got time to upload it, or if you got a NAS, set up a guest account for access to share it; Or Dropbox, Google drive, etc.
Great video, now I'm jealous since I am such an amateur!!! I fly RC planes, helicopters, quads, cars. I can't afford the super expensive ones from DJI though...
4K Samsung? You mean 4K Samsung TV? I'm not aware of a 4K Samsung smartphone.
You're still going on about stuff that doesn't pertain to the topic.
FACT: The iPhone 6S camera has artifacting on the videos posted here
FACT: Every 'evidence' video posted here also has some form of artifacting
FACT: Everyone is making judgment off of youtube videos that add even more artifacting
FACT: It is not fair to judge any footage from these youtube videos because of this.
You keep writing these long posts that have NOTHING to do with the question.
The question is why does the brand new camera on the 6S have artifacting when older phones performed better?
The answer is that even on the old phones, based on the youtube evidence given, there is the same artifacting present. Even on some professional shot videos, the artifacting is there, if not worse than on the iphone videos.
Thus, we cannot answer the question, because with the evidence in front of us, we cannot deduce which videos look better.
I don't know why you want to bring up unrelated stuff, as if that makes your post seem more intelligent or something? Just a bunch of words. I'm trying to answer the question at hand with my eyes, and its pretty clear. And i don't need to be bragging about my GPU or CPU to do it either (even though they are very good).
I can agree i bet the raw footage from your phone looks great. But at the same time, i can make the argument the raw footage from the iphone 6S probably looks great too. But until there is a valid way to judge that, there is no room for argument.
No matter how bad YouTube changes the overall quality of video; artifacts, noise, colors, lighting, sharpness and the POP experience is not seen in the samples so far from the iPhone 6s models.
I believe all Apple used the new but not really new 12MP sensor for is to scale 1080p video up to 4K and set it to have a higher bitrate. (Technological tactic to sell a new iPhone with not much under the hood changes)
Why?.. Some God given right ?..Because iPhone should be superior to the S6 in features like this.
Why?.. Some God given right ?..
You are aware that Samsung actually make and sell dedicated cameras arnt you.. Not just buy a sensor off the shelf from Sony that's maybe a couple of years old.. Bump up the MP's and bang on about a whole New camera..Because Apple has a huge team designing these phones to compete with the Galaxies of the world?

Maybe the iPhone is using a more natural, flat looking picture profile? Here's an example of how a picture profile can vastly alter the feel and "pop" of an image. Shot in 4K (since we're talking about 4K) on a RED Scarlet M-X I use for work.
I'd be willing to bet those Android phones have oversharpened, punchy picture profiles when compared to the iPhone footage, leading you to think it's objectively better when picture profile is truly a subjective preference. (That really flat, washed-out looking image to me looks amazing from a videographer's standpoint because it means you have a ton of data to work with when shaping the final look of the shot)
In short, I think you're mistaking a punchier picture profile for an objectively better quality image. Now don't get me wrong; I viewed that same raw shot from Apple and didn't think the iPhone 6s's camera was anything special, but honestly all phone camera 4K video exists for is a pissing contest to write that stupid spec on their specsheets. A GoPro4 shooting Protune looks significantly better than any phone's 4K footage I've seen.
This would literally be the dumbest thing ever, and I highly doubt Apple is doing that because in high contrast, well-lit areas, the iPhone 6s footage looks clearly more detailed than traditional 1080p phone footage.
Plus, this doesn't make any sense, because if you're scaling 1080p footage UP to 4K res (which is pointless), there's no reason you couldn't do that with the old sensor too.
Most of the 6s videos that were linked so far had dark/dingy quality of light. There are a few that have better lighting, such as this one that is a little more similar to the Greek S6 video:
And another with footage that would be a better reflection of how I would use the 6s: Not the best light, handheld, occasionally tripod, etc.

awful? this is a cell phone not some expensive DSLR or cinema camera like the red cam. Think about it, 5-10 years go we didn't even have HD. Its pretty amazing IMO
Horrible analogy.
