So the threshold between a real cinematographer and a fake one is 128GB vs. 256GB?
If you only need to capture 15 minutes of ProRes 4K for an advertisement, you're fake?
How about a simple warning in the app: "You're out of free space."
Got a tip for us?

You know... I want to be mad at the >128GB limitation for 4k ProRes video... But I still have never shot a photo in RAW, either. I guess I'll just shrug this one away.
Still waiting for them to fix all of the wonky, choppy and stuttering animation issues with ProMotion on the 13 Pro. Makes an otherwise smooth phone look like amateur hour, especially considering the cost of these things and the fact that it’s Apple who should be getting the basics right on day one.

No benefits, people don't like it when macro mode kicks in automatically. 📸🐜
That’s true, but ProRes on the iPhone is more of a marketing gimmick than a practical feature anyone can benefit from, save for the directors sponsored by Apple that will use the feature once. Cinematographers use dedicated equipment that costs 10 to 20 times the price of the iPhone Pro with detachable battery/SSD ”mags” for continuous filming. If Apple implemented real time 4K HEVC/AV1/VVC encoding support, now, anyone regularly shooting videos on their iPhone could actually benefit from that without the gargantuan file sizes.
The convenience when you take a regular photo and by accident you get very close and the camera change
Apparently the automatic switching can be annoying when you try to frame a shot, are relatively close and all of a sudden the image jumps and your phone decides which lens and sensor it is shooting with. Your framing changes because of the parallax and the changed coverage angle and you have to try frame the and focus the shot again. Rinse and repeat .... So, for serious photographer who want to be in control as much as possible, the toggle is a boon.
So some users aren’t caught by surprise when the cameras on the iPhone 13 Pros do what they are designed to do.
That is true, they are not mentioning the bit rate. Are we recording 4K at 30Mb/s or at 50 Mb/s etc. That makes a huge difference. If I remember correctly AJA Video has a bitrate calculator app on iOS.
Downloaded. The Auto Macro toggle is nice but I wish it was imbedded in the Camera app and marked Macro. I know that’s redundant since it just uses the 0.5x. (ultra wide lens), but it’s odd the camera app settings are buried under the Settings->Camera.
Yes, is that 10Mb/s or 10 bit color ?
None really in my opinion. I’d rather them have a yellow font that shows up on the screen when automatically switching over to macro mode to let users know.
I will assume that when it is in "off" it won't attempt to go into macro focusing when you are just a little close to the subject with the wide angle lens.
True but then on a ‘Pro’ iPhone capable of ProRAW and now ProRES, Apple is remiss and has no excuse as to why they didn’t switch the Pro phones to USB-C. they could have easily differentiated the iPhone models with Lightning for 13 USB-C for 13 Pro. Just like they’ve been doing on iPad/iPad Pro for years now. In fact, I would have imagined they could have pulled even more people to upgrade based on that alone. I’m a huge fan of my 13 Pro and love everything about it, but USB-C seems like an obvious add to the Pro iPhones.
This guy shot some ProRes, though with Filmic Pro it is interesting to look at, particular for the naysayers. Though the comparison shots I saw showed quite a difference.
in either direction, 4k is 2x the size of 1080p, so multiply by 2?
when the “i hate jon prosser” types were crying their eyeballs out that apple prevented ProRes beyond 1080p on 128gb devices, i searched what apple lists the bitrate as for the lowest tier of prores they offer (not actually knowing which one is used by iOS 15 for recording), and then put it into some calculator provided by a white paper on the front page of google.
tl;dr if you google the same stuff you can determine the actual size per minute to some estimate that is likely not far off.

It says "A minute of 10-bit ProRes", so it's per minute.
So, about 29 MiB per second.
It's 6 GiB instead of 1.7.
You gotta roughly quadruple, but then slightly less due to compression efficiencies. If it were uncompressed, it'd be exactly quadruple (not double).
Genuinely curious: why can't you just long tap the notification to "open" the preview? Or just tap it to open?
Crazy idea, maybe focus on fixing this broken iOS before piling in more features.
Luckily, they're doing both.
Ehh I’d like to turn off “auto macro” but i feel like auto macro zooms in more than when I switch to the macro lens manually.
