Lucky Customer Receives Rose Gold iPhone 6s Nearly Five Days Early [Updates]

[soupcan]

I guess that the increase in resolution (8mp -> 12 mp) while keeping the same sensor size did not increase the low light performance...well, that was to be expected...but to me it seems it did not even keep up with that of the iPhone 6...which could also be expected, but is still sad...as a general rule of thumb: smaller pixels=lower quality pictures in low light (if the sensor is from the same generation, but it seems that the technical improvements did not compensate the shrink form 1.5 to 1.22 µm)
Anyway, as no reasonable person would expect a mobile phone camera to replace even a premium compact (at least currently) unless one operates only in optimla conditions (optimal for the phone camera that is) and that it will never reach the versatility of a full frame, aps or mft camera...it still has that one magic sentence going for it: The best camera is always the one that you are carrying with you!

Not only that, we still have an aperture of F2.2. That should've been upped to F2.0 or F1.9.

I hope she is better at designing than she is at photography! Always shoot video in landscape!

Her website is a disaster on the iPad.

She even has a cute Chihuahua.

I agree, that would be absolutely awesome...but even without doing the math, physical restriction would make it unlikely to put in a stronger (in a sense of gathering more light) optic without greatly increasing in size (and thus sticking out even more)...not something likely to be designed by mr ive

 

[haruhiko]

I don't buy it. She more than likely knew someone on the inside that helped her out, knowingly or unknowingly. It helps to have those advantages. The rest of us will continue to play the waiting game.

Controlled leak?

I remember the camera I had on a phone, it was add on as the Nokia model didn't have one built in and was a whopping 0.3MP

In 2005 I had the Sony Ericsson W800i candybar phone which had a 2 megapixel sensor with autofocus. The camera quality was actually quite decent comparing with other phones in the market at that time.

 

[einmusiker]

this is another controlled apple leak people. APPL is a marketing genius. They know what they're doing

this should be removed by Apple..but here it is still...so this is intended leak by 

 

[MH01]

Classic ! Hope she enjoys her fame!

Sucks to be the review sites that have embargos!

 

[msi92]

Here a sample of some 1 that does know how to shoot

Ummm she is a member of public , with no NDA.... How exactly can apple enforce this? They cannot.

Visual designer Adrienne Alpern

​

Additionally, she shared a short 4K video shot with the iPhone 6s.

...A visual designer and she can't hold the iPhone the proper way to shoot a video. She doesn't deserve to own one. EVER.

Especially if that camera is in a GS6.

It's not a good thing. I'm getting my wife the pink, ahem, rose gold one and it doesn't look like she's going to be happy with the photo quality. This is what came out of my GS6 from vacation a few weeks back.

 

[KompleX]

i'm not impressed with the picture quality. they look very blurry and pixelated.

 

[soupcan]

Guess what, the A9 is faster than Intel's Core M in the MacBook (the 1.1GHz version that is).

Nice nice

 

[MH01]

Also it's that time of the year that we care about benchmarks time to gloat and give it to android .... While we can! Fun times!

Umm. It may still be a leak… but AAPL needs to make sure enough people have seen it to get maximum effect. So it stays around for another 24 hours before the tweet "disappears".

 

[Substance90]

THIS should've been the cpu in the Mini4!

That.

people need to learn to rotate their phone when shooting videos.

And her first video is filmed in portrait orientation

Gets new iPhone with 4K. Takes vertical video.

Yeah, nothing beats vertical 4K.

I'm going to lose sleep over the fact that the person who got an iPhone early shot a 4K test video vertically.

Wish people would get over the vertical video crap.

Its a test video - its easier to just load up camera and shoot rather than rotate or even turn off rotation lock to turn it. No one died. This isn't a professional video.

Get over it sheesh.

Your moaning is worse than the vertical videos.

Pictures look fine to me. Am I going to get rid of my DSLR anytime soon? No, of course my 5 year old 12MP Canon takes better pictures. For pretty much everyone who takes photos for Facebook the camera is more then adequate.

It would be cool if Apple allowed you to take take "raw" type photos. If anything I'd like to see the true comparison between the raw photos of a camera phone and DSLR.

Vertical video is an important issue. Please watch this public service announcement on the issue:

 

[srminton]

people need to learn to rotate their phone when shooting videos.

Only if you plan to show it on a TV, or fullscreen on a computer. In a web browser or iPhone app, vertical video looks just fine. I don't think she was filming this for TV. Also, I don't get why this annoys people so much, unless you demand the right to see everyone's videos in fullscreen on your laptop or something.

 

[lancastor]

Video in portrait. I'm dying.

 

[Substance90]

Welcome to the world!

As long as you give a ****, you'll always lose sleep over something. Meanwhile I'll be enjoying my iPhone 5 running iOS 9 for at least one year more.

 

[Jsameds]

Those Geekbench Scores, tho...

 

[cheeseburgertaco]

i'm not impressed with the picture quality. they look very blurry and pixelated.

It probably looks better on the iPhone 6s itself

Now we just need a controlled iPad Air leak...
