Apple Executives Discuss iPhone 12 and Apple's Approach to Camera Design

Apple can do what they did with exercise equipment manufacturers: form an alliance and create a new standard (GymKit) that would allow those devices to seamlessly communicate with theirs. Furthermore they could keep the licensing fees to a minimum instead of using it as yet one more way to juice their margins, as such a feature would primarily benefit the disabled and elderly.
People says a lot about computational photography, but seems like Apple's method of computational photography is linked to the Ax chip's ISP. So whatever computational photography feature on a new iPhone won't be available on previous iPhones. Eg. the portrait lighting not available on the iPhone 7 Plus.
Probably my favourite video reviewer. As expected, DSLRs can rest easy for another year. Surprise bonus: phablet-averse people don’t need to feel like they’re missing out on game-changing camera features by choosing the smaller Pro model. (This comes as a bit of a surprise given what many saw as Brownlee subtly hinting that photography people should skip the 12 Pro and wait for the Max in his review of the former. Almost canceled my Pro order based on that insinuation! 🥴)
He usually does great content but not this time, he never tested the camera in very low light. Just look at the picture of this dog, difference between the two pros is massive.

If they didn’t need the bigger sensor, and could achieve what they wanted via software instead, then they didn’t need to give the Pro Max a bigger sensor. 🤷🏻♂️
His answer was so condescending.

Physics dictate that better cameras have to be physically bigger. There's no way around that. And it's why DLSRs will always be better than iPhone cameras.
The key to all this is the software. Anyone who's had a decent play with Lightroom/Photoshop or similar knows how much time it takes to turn a well framed snap into a thing of beauty (pros will spend somewhere in the order of an hour on each shot in post processing). The camera software in these phones is the absolute key to doing 90% of that work for you automatically so that you don't have to bother, and produce wonderful shots instantly just with a point and shoot. It's quite extraordinary.
The regular iPhone isn’t a one handed device for a lot of people as it is. I don’t know anyone that can pull the Control Center down one handed. The only phone that is one-handed now is the mini and it has terrible battery life because of its size.
It doesn't need to be one-handed for ALL operations. Being able to use it one-handed for 95%+ for operations I most often use is huge for me.
I hope they can get the flaring under control in future models. Whether through better coatings or software or some combination of both.
Dear Jon, Welcome to 2020. I will not give an iPhone 12 to my 15yo daughter this year.
Dear daughter, That iPhone 8 you got handed down from Mom last year still works perfectly fine. You do remember last year do you? Last year as in the year the world wasn't bleeding.
Dear Mrs. Santa, If you have any plans to override this decision, I will quarantine your credit cards. Heck I'd be surprised if those cards were actually still working.
Love,
Dad
I’ma physicist so definitely know that, but that is no reason to not put the same camera in the 12Pro. Pure choice by Apple.
Better Battery, thicker , yes thicker NOT thinner design - easier to hold imo
Then they can improve the cameras too , if they need to , seem pretty impressive tbh
Get rid of the notch too please , look at the ipad pro as a design example

One of these days they might actually figure out how to get rid of the camera bump by making the case just a little bit thicker. But meanwhile, even though the camera is better, I still don't plan to buy a phone that needs its own seat in the car. Much too big.
All of the hearing aid companies that support the MFI are have the same issues. so not it isn't completely on the hearing aid companies.
I will wait for the Better sensor of the 12 Pro Max to be inside a smaller 13Pro. If its not made i will wait for the 14Pro.
The problem with the Max is that it is too Big for my pocket and it is easy to loose, I really don't want to buy a Phone Holster for my belt! The 11Pro is Super Excellent until they get the Pro Max Sensor in a smaller body.
