Yes forgot about classical too. Your reply was so nice that I actually went back and listened to a few minutes of the clip you linked. Good lyrics, just doesn't qualify as music. Really sorry!
I've heard some modern classical that sounds more like a blindfolded goat running around in the percussion section of the orchestra. Not my cup of tea. Still, I wouldn't say, "it doesn't qualify as music", just because it doesn't appeal to me.
 
Not bashing on her (I know who she is). But is an artist appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine suppose to mean they're going to be great/successful and we should keep an eye out for them?

Where are these people now?

Strange how older music is more preferred and memorable than modern day music.


Not sure why you're going so hard on Rolling Stone, nowhere did I say it was the top accomplishment in entertainment. I could have written out a laundry list of what else is going with her -

Covers Interview magazine this month
Performing at the VMA's tonight
Album debuting at #1 on the next Billboard chart with 300k
Performed 4 songs on the Today Show on Friday, Sept 8

- but I didn't feel like it was necessary. ;)

Far from me to impugn your taste good Sir! My favourite modern classical would be A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Nils Frahm and the likes. In respect to what qualifies as music, this is purely personal, I was merely reflecting on my perception.

All I know about her is the plagiarism claims on multiple songs, and subsequent added credits to those songs.

Don't know if it's true or not.

But that has nothing to do with the iPhone 15, so I don't care. 😉
 
As exciting and impressive as the new video features are it still cannot control aperture to adjust exposure. Changing the shutter speed just to expose the video properly is just weird for a video camera. Such a basic concept of cameras and video and smartphones still cannot solve that one. At least if they added some kind of built in ND filtering that would get around that problem.

You really need to have very specific controlled lighting or find a way to attach a ND filter to a phone to use an iPhone in this kind of production or get these kind of results. This is not just a hit the red button and boom you have a music video kind of situation. You need to light every shot so the lighting itself is for the perfect exposure of the camera.
 
What happened at this point in the video? Whole sequence near the end seemed grainy/blurry.

Yeah this looks like it was Shot on iPhone, and not in a complimentary way.
Upside: at least this song is a different genre than Apple's usual promo stuff.
For the other oldheads in here, I only know who she is because my preteen daughter is obsessed with her. To me she's the modern day flavor of Avril but she's inoffensive so no complaints from this parent though I'm still waiting for her to mature enough that I can start introducing her to Shirley Manson, L7, Poe and Ani DiFranco.
I suppose you are only happy when it rains too...

I was going to comment on this, but I just discovered that Filmic Pro, a program I paid for, has switched over to subscription model. And all sorts of features that I paid for are gone. So basically robbery by end-user-agreement. What was wrong with communism again?
 
...still, this sort of thing frustrates me.

If they keep shooting pro-video work with their latest phones, why doesn't Apple go in fully and make a proper camcorder? Heaven knows Sony and the other have abandoned the field!
Apple probably feels it would be a bad business decision to start making equipment in a field that everyone else is abandoning, since Apple probably feels Sony and the others aren’t abandoning it simply because they are sick of making too much easy money manufacturing said equipment.

That said, I hear you, as I would be curious to see what Apple would do with a camcorder. I was hoping they might make a useable VR camcorder to create material for the Vision Pro, but I guess they are just doing a hack to the 15 Pro. :(
