Most excellent and impressive! And tight. Shows what you can do with a phone when driven to create.
Geez. Bit of unfounded hate going on here...I was pretty sure I had seen this photo from before.
Kuo: Largan to Ship 'High-End' Camera Lenses for 'iPhone 12' From Mid-July
I can't wait. Photography is my life. And for the last five or so years my camera of choice is the one that's always with me, my iPhone. Ocean Beach, San Francisco:forums.macrumors.com
Maybe you have taken only one good photo who knows
Exactly what I was thinking. Looking at the resulting image, it wasn’t shot on an iPhone 12 Pro.
If you are a pro photographer I am really interested to know, if you say this tiny digital camera attached to a phone is just as good as the full fledged Nikon ones, why would any one buy those dedicated ones?
awesome photo by the way, and I am someone who does not appreciate photography.
The best camera is the one that's with you is pretty much at the heart of what Apple is claiming here. Followed closely by our cameras are pretty BA.
I like gear as much as the next. But the best gear in the world can't tell a story on it's own. I often think of what it would have been like growing up with access to these types of tools as a creative little kid. And while the majority of iPhone users are staying up-to-date on Instagram, some are busy telling the next great story. I mean, think of the stories these devices have helped tell this past year. Without them, who knows what horrors would have continued unchecked. No mater how you slice it, the potential these devices offer is nothing short of staggering.

Nope. Not a pro photographer. If forced to characterize, I'd say fine art.
"if you say this tiny digital camera attached to a phone is just as good as the full fledged Nikon ones, why would any one buy those dedicated ones?"
And that's something I have NEVER SAID. What I do say, quite regularly, there's more to photography than acquiring gear. It's about creating. Using your life experiences, imagination, technical skills, being able to read light, having the ability of including/hiding information, recognizing gesture, mystery, seeing potential narratives, all (and more) going into creating a photograph that hopefully stirs a viewers imagination, releasing some kind (any kind will do) narrative, and evoking a response.
Notice that in the above nothing is said about equipment, brands, etc. Creativity comes from within.
Mission neighborhood, San Francisco.
And, as you allude to up above, thank god almost everyone has a phone in their pocket. And when an injustice is spotted, it will quickly come to light for all to see, with the perpetrator exposed and hopefully brought to justice.
It's so refreshing to see someone here who gets what photography is really about!
My iPhone is always with me. If I see an urban scene that evokes something special in my mind I'll make a candid photo. If I come across a stranger who I believe is interesting in some way, I'll have a conversation and make a portrait.
haha.. well, i guess there is a trade off... But Apple's all about selling a great product, so their gonna put that first..
Most completely shot on iPhone and then edited afterwards as usual.
It’s amazing what’s possible with such a small camera!
Now they need put two notches on both ends with good mics for good stereo separation 
Let's make an ad about shooting 4K HDR and not show it in neither 4K nor HDR.
Courage.
Courage.
I don't know why they are advertising this in 2020. People gathering is hardly allowed anywhere.
1. The portrait lens should be facing forwards. Everyone is affected by Covid and using their phones to communicate.
2. Lots of videos are made with the front-facing camera nowadays, alone. There should also be a wide-angle facing forwards.
3. Everyone is wearing masks outside, there should be a fingerprint sensor for id.

Why? Convenience, Price, Portability. None of dedicated cameras is all times either in my hand or in my pocket. None of them.
I am and will be editing on "my camera".
Thats what makes it powerful.
🧀 "The best video editor is the one I always have in my pocket".
I have recorded a video on my ipad and edited it directly using LumaFusion. Does that count?
Hah, this sounds like a comment I would make. Been trying to think positive lately, but you're probably right.
I see... The name, fits.
That a great shot above. Is there a place I can see more of your work?
Keep snapping!
