Following the announcement of the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and the new sixth-generation iPad mini, Apple gave YouTuber iJustine a chance to talk to Apple CEO Tim Cook about the new announcements, including some tidbits about Fitness+.


In the nearly 15 minutes' long interview, Cook describes the new camera features of the iPhone 13, specifically Cinematic Mode, as a "mindblowing" addition to the iPhone that places it on par with professional high-end video equipment. The interview doesn't heavily touch on the new Apple Watch Series 7, but Cook notes how the device has become an integral part of his workout routine thanks to its integration with Fitness+.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro are incremental upgrades compared to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, featuring a smaller notch, improved performance thanks to the A15 Bionic, new camera features, and more. Catch up on everything Apple announced yesterday using our event recap.

Is it just me noticing or Tim's hands are shaking? Not exactly the camera shy or nervous type...
It's not just his hands. Look at his arms, face, the whole body, his shirt (no that is not wind). Someone else recently made a post saying he looks sick. I didn't watch the keynote yesterday, but when this video started the first thing I noticed is the voice. He doesn't sound good, there's some minor fluctuation in his voice, it sounds off.

I hope he's ok, but I have seen exactly this before (Parkinson).
 
Tim looks really healthy, and I do not want to speculate on anyone's health - but oh boy that shake has not been present in anything until now. I hope he's okay.
I said after the last keynote and I still have the same opinion that Cook does not look well. Much older, mouth or teeth look blackish and a grayish pallour to his skin. But I am not a physician so just my amateur viewpoint.

LOL! Pathetic. "on par with professional high-end video equipment" - yes, with exactly the same messed-up focused/defocused areas like with any other software-only fake bokeh like that of the Portrait mode. Not any sane pro videographer would use an iPhone instead of some decent, large-sensor dedicated camera with proper workflow because they do NOT exhibit anything like this as they're hardware-only (real shooting-time focusing) and not software-only fake bokeh / blurring.

I've posted some examples of this from Apple's own demo video to https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-13-pro-cinematic-mode-being-pro-grade-bad-joke.2310995/

EDIT: it's at 3:54 that Cook says the above: "it [Cinematic Mode] is like having a Hollywood rig in your pocket". That's definitely false advertising and a blatant lie.

Honestly not even saying this as a dig but iJustine should just be getting paid by Apple for these "interviews" as she literally just gushes over what they announced and hit all their important marketing points. This is exactly what you would expect from a paid Instagram post with an influencer etc

I am sad to agree.
