LOL, the independent reviews are in (not useless shill stuff like that of iJustine) and without exception(!!!) they all mention Cinematic Mode is far from perfect. The latest one is from filmmaker Ryan Connolly of Film Riot. Let me cite forum member macscreenwriter:
"I respect the opinion of filmmaker Ryan Connolly of Film Riot. The Cinematic Mode isn't quite ready for prime time. In several instances, the software isn't able to make out details with the subject's complete body, with strands of hair and other things being blurred out. Nice first try, but no cigar just yet."
Again, Tim Cook stated in his iJustine "interview" (at 3:54) the following: "it [Cinematic Mode]is like having a Hollywood rig in your pocket".
And no, I didn't misinterpret this statement as even MacRumors interpreted this statement as "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 iPhonethat places it on par with professional high-end video equipment."
Did Cook lie or, at least, didn't tell the whole truth?! It surely can't be possible?!???!?!?!
