If you're showing a 4K recorded video, why would you not upload a 4K version of it to YouTube?
 
I clearly remember all the hype and hoopla that followed the iPhone 6 Plus release. How great the camera was supposed to be, the wonderful optical image stabilization, the sheer beauty of the photos. That was when the "Shot With iPhone" media blitz started.

Well I can tell you (since I have an iPhone 6 Plus) that it's a pretty crappy camera. Not horrible, but far far from being "good".

So what did I learn?
Whatever Apple and reviewers say about iPhone cameras (any of them) is BS hype.
Don't believe what they're trying to sell/tell you. iPhone cameras aren't that good and the Pro will be no exception to their long lineage of mediocrity.

Sure, they're a technological marvel, but the end result, the picture, ain't so hot. They're all point & shoot cameras & always will be. Nothing wrong with that, just don't expect spectacular results.
Hardware doesn’t mean much when it comes to producing great images. I have, in fact, seen spectacular results produced with an iPhone. It has surprisingly good dynamic range and equally surprising DoF when a shot is composed the right way. Give someone with a lifetime of experience in woodworking Ryobi tools and they’ll blow you away. Comparing the iPhone camera to high-end DSLRs is missing the point entirely.

I think it was pretty cruel to the dog in the video -- in that wind chamber. I protest the use of animals in this way.

Knowing dogs, he probably had a lot of fun!

It can survive broccoli being thrown at it, but drop it onto concrete from your pocket and it shatters.....
 
Yep. iPhone 10S Max scratched in the first week for me so I hope this time round the fact that they are banging on about it so much actually means the glass is tough!

Toughness is a measure of how much stress the glass can be subjected to before it breaks. Tough glass usually scratches easily.
 
So, if I drop it in my salad, I’ll be cool. Three feet of the ground onto a driveway? Shattered. Sorry but I find these ‘tough’ commercials to be non-sense. I have a cracked lens and my wife shattered the front. Both iPhone X and both in cases...

If Apple thinks their phones are so tough, why not offer free replacement of a shattered phone? You know, put your money where your mouth is sort of thing.

I agree about the iPhone 6, because the camera on my 6S wasn't all that impressive. But the camera on my iPhone XR is simply amazing. I bought a Wide-Angle Moment Lens to transform the Wide Angle into an Ultra-Wide Angle and it takes pictures even more gorgeous.

The exposition, definition and vivid colors make you feel like you are there; it enables me to rent my apartments faster than anyone in the city. Of course more people than we can think of don't bother cleaning their stuff before taking pictures though, so I have another advantage here :D

Back to the lens topic, I didn't even try the lens on the XS, let alone the 11 and 11 Pro. Times have changed way beyond the iPhone 6.

funny - but show it dropping on a subway platform. because Apple is advertising the toughness of the glass i'm not going to put a case on it. if it cracks I will promptly march it down to the apple store with this video playing on its cracked screen and ask them to fix it.

and you will be reminded that entitlement doesn't cover physical damage.

If actually shot on the iPhone Pro, the video is stupidly good and the best I’ve seen from a phone by far.
 
I wonder if anyone has noticed those are only soft objects? It just occurred to me. So I can only assume this review documentation clip by Apple is deliberately trying to hide all the hardcore obstacles.. because the iPhone 11 pro would immediately turn into flames. And that they didn’t want us to see in this video.
 
"Way better"

OK, please list the "way better" phones.

Let me guess...the Note 10+ because it has more RAM?
If Android phones are so much better than Apple phones, then why do Android users spend so much time on Apple comment boards? If my phone was so much better, I'd be spending so much time playing with it I'd never want to go on an Apple message board.
 
According to Apple they lose that much value.

I'm not interested in eBay since half their sales end up being scams by the seller/buyer anyway.
Gauging market value by what Apple gives you for a trade in, is no different than gauging market value of your car when you trade it in to a dealer. It’s a wholesale price, whether one wants to acknowledge or believe it. It saves one the hassle of selling the phone/car on their own.

Apple is fooling it’s customers again. It simply doesn’t matter how durable the iPhone is as long as it is not repairable.

Sooner or later the glass will break so if you buy an iPhone an additional AppleCare is mandatory.
 
Or drop it on a hard floor, concrete, asphalt?
my iPhone dropped onto wooden floor from a 1-foot high bed stand, and I swear the screen cracked into 100 pieces! The touch is still working but I was shocked to find out that the glass on the screen is so frikkin fragile.
