Other Will iPhone 17 finally shoot 8k?

Who out there is just dying for “8K” anything? There’s no standard yet for television resolution. The sensors on an iPhone barely shoot true 4K, and on these small screens you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between 4k and 1080

I can put a well done 1080p bluray on my calibrated tv and it looks better than UHD. What is the purpose of 8K?

Right but 8K provides more room to crop video when editing because of its larger format. Just like cropping a 48mp image to get a 24mp etc. 8K will be best for that instead of viewing on a huge screen. My S25 Ultra shoots 8k, I can't tell the visual difference between 8k & 4k on the S25 display screen, but looks great though. Maybe next year for iphone...

To this day, most cine cameras in Hollywood do not capture in 8K.

That’s with hundred-million-dollar budgets, unlimited storage, the immediate target display being a 30 ft cinema screen, and some concern about how the movie will look in 20 years on whatever display tech we have then.
