Since when is AVI a pro container? I see MXF and Prores mov in professional video every day… can’t even remember when I saw an AVI file in the wild.
Got a tip for us?

No offense...I just never considered them as big player in the phone space, nor much of a high end competitor until the latest in the Sony XPERIA 1 series, which most reviewers I read considered to be a camera that also makes phone calls.
I believe that their market share is less than 2%, so I can't imagine they are making any money doing this...unless they are playing the long game, like they did with mirrorless. Then it might be brilliant. I just don't think it is all about phones.
Time will tell.
I’ve wondered what an iPad (Pro)-sized large format camera would be like. Sure, large format cameras have been pretty much replaced by full frame and medium format cameras, but I gotta wonder what kind of quality a camera that size would bring nowadays. An image sensor that size + Apple’s processing would be crazy.
I’d love to see Apple add a microSD card, but I’m sure they never will do that. I’d love to swap out cards so I can take more pictures/videos, or swap out different songs. Sure, many songs can be streamed now, but I have a number of albums on CD not found on streaming services
It would be so nice if they allow iPhone 14 Pro to shoot LOG too. I feel like it's totally doable.
Of course, but they are running out of hardware innovation, so they have to do it with artificial software restrictions.
Where are you reading that information? Neither the FCP System Requirement page or the FCP Release Notes page mention any such information. Apple says, "Minimum System Requirements macOS 12.6 or later"...

I'm not saying they are big player in this space, just that they have been consistently in the space. Longer in fact than Apple is, I think they even made mobile phones before Sony Ericsson.
They certainly don't have a big market share, but then you also have to consider that especially the Android market also consists of tons of low-price devices, which is not what Sony is after (in any space
)
I'm right here with you. Would love some kind of a power-bank case that has a nice side grip, the most important buttons (not just shutter), a big sensor and lens mount, ideally an SD card slot as well. Use the phone's sensors for focusing and metering and let the phone do all the processing. I mean night mode, auto-HDR and Live Photos are all fantastic, imagine what you could do with an actual lens and sensor.I continue to find myself thinking: why doesn't Apple create a brand new product that flips the script here? Instead of dealing with the very hard limitations of physics of trying to jam ever-better cameras into a skinny phone form factor, how about develop the best camera form factor they can and glom the phone functionality onto that?
No, that's not hold a camera up to an ear to make a call (buds with mic for phone calls).
No, this isn't an idea about killing the phone and replacing it with a camera. This would be a new product where the entire focus could be on maximizing the camera innovations. The whole phone + iPod + Internet device parts just needs a good-sized screen on the back.
Like photographers have for generations, this camera + phone hybrid (instead of phone + camera hybrid) hangs around the neck or shoulder on a strap instead of being a skinny brick in a pocket...
In exchange for that inconvenience, all of the skinny brick limitations would come off of maximizing the camera picture, video & sound quality... resulting in much better pictures, videos and sound.
Would I be the only person interested in such a product?
Maybe now with USB-C someone can make such a thing.
Ah, yes, I see that now...
...thanks for the shoulder tap! LOL

...clearly Apple needs to update a few other links!
Samsung tried it with their NX range of Mirrorless APS-C cameras a few years ago - full size camera with an Android backend - where is the NX range now?....... exactly.I continue to find myself thinking: why doesn't Apple create a brand new product that flips the script here?

Why stop with the 14, surely because I can type it, they can also bring it to the 12 series phones!? I feel like it’s totally doable, though I’ve never tried doing anything like it before.

iPhone 16 Studio
12 totally doable. Log is actually a much less processed video mode, just something Apple has to enable for developers.
If you look at the Blackmagic video app, you can see the phone can do far more with codecs and modes than what Apple allows. The ProRes would probably be too high of a bitrate but h.264 would work. Possible would also be limited to 8 bit, but still useful.
It’s all software and cameras have been doing log for years with 10% of the iPhone processing power.
What did you think a 15% more powerful chip is really what enables every new software feature?
And yes I have developed several iOS apps..
