iPhone 12 Lineup Features HDR Video Recording With Dolby Vision for Vivid Colors

[ErikGrim]

Did a YouTube side by side of Chrome 1080 HDR with Safari 1080 HD on my Retina 5K iMac.

Chrome HDR looks really badly blown out in all the highlights, and crushed in the blacks. Not sure if this is a Chrome issue, but looks really nasty, and has that classic iPhone over-sharpened look to it.

Something to consider for sure when putting footage out there.

Yeah. Something is broken with HDR rendering in Chrome for sure. Just another reason not to use that bloated POS.

10bit 4k 60fps 1min = 3GB ?
It's to time to add sd slot...

Wait...is the file size for Dolby Vision really going to be 3GB for 1 min of recording?

i just imagine it. If the iphone can edit it "on the Fly" then i don't know what about the compression..

No. It's about 350mb a minute, if so.

You think the Dolby Vision videos will be a smaller file size than what the current iPhones video file sizes are currently? Currently on my iPhone X, a 1 minute 4K 60 FPS video is around 400MB.

It's going to be about the same. Bitrate is going to play the role, we can expect around 55 for main sensor at 60fps. On the other hand I was just told that recording format will remain H265 and not ProRes 422 like I thought it would. Basically iPhone 11 could have done the same but they've chosen not to offer that feature. That also explains 700 million colors cause HEVC at 10bit is also using chroma subsampling.

In the end this is really nothing exciting and definitely not something that has not been done before in mobile world.

So he filmed this on iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max?

I'm on the fence if the 12 pro Max is worth it compared to the 12 pro.

I love to use ultra wide and would love to use telephoto, but the 2.2 versus 2.0 aperture is playing with me

It looked like the 12 Pro to me, in some of the shots of it in the gimble it had 3 microphone holes on the left of the lightning port - the pro max has 4
