The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max both feature USB-C connectivity, which means it is possible to capture ProRes video directly to an external storage device. This is an enormous benefit in the case of anyone wanting to capture professional quality video using their smartphone.
The app also allows log-encoding for greater dynamic range when editing video, which is essential for amateur filmmakers or those who want to use the iPhone as a B-camera for bigger productions.
ProRAW and ProRes video editing
The iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max both feature Apple’s premium ProRes video codec. As opposed to raw, uncompressed video which can take up a lot of space, ProRes reduces footage to smaller sizes without compromising quality.
It is also possible to record ProRes videos directly onto the device’s external storage instead of using internal space. Apple states that this can allow longer recording times as well as more freedom to film when on the move.
New models are able to record ProRes files in both 4K as well as HD at 60fps. This lets you capture additional action from the field and will provide better quality for editing afterwards. They also have support for Log as well as Dolby Vision HDR.
A16 Bionic chip performance
The A16 Bionic chip in the dien thoai iphone 15 Pro is a super-powerful device. It’s able to go toe-to-toe with- and often outperforms -one of the top Android smartphones available with Samsung’s Galaxy S23 and OnePlus 11.
In a single Geekbench test which tests general performance, the A16 Bionic offers some of the top numbers found on an iPhone. The A16 Bionic even outperforms the brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on the multicore part of the test.
This is thanks to the A16’s 6-core CPU setup and is 10 percent faster than before. It also has a 6-core GPU with a 20% speed increase and also supports hardware-accelerated ray tracer. The whole thing is running about a third less power than its competitors like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 9000. The technology isn’t groundbreaking and it demonstrates that Apple remains the lead in smartphone chip sets.
Super Retina XDR display
The iPhone 15 Pro and the Pro Max feature a Super Retina XDR display that runs at 120Hz ProMotion. Apple declares it to be the fastest mobile-grade refresh speed on any smartphone.
This allows video editors to work with high-definition videos and photos with more clarity. It also helps with fast movement and more smooth gameplay.
A different major change is to the main camera. It is now equipped with a 48-megapixel image sensor that has lossless optical zoom at 3x or 5x. It is able to capture depth information also, and the front cameras are capable of producing portraits without having to switch into portrait mode.
Apple also included a newly developed Spatial Video capture feature that integrates the ultra-wide as well as main cameras to produce a 3-D video. They can later be replayed on Apple’s new Vision Pro headset.
Editing apps
Apple’s new iPhone 15 Pro models boast many features which could be appealing to video content creators. This includes a Pro Camera system and support for 4K60 ProRes video recording. Also it is the iPhone 15 Pro has an enhanced LTPO display and an adaptive refresh rate that can reach 120Hz.
Apple removed the slider to mute from its Pro devices, and has substituted it with a multifunctional Action button which can be customized to launch apps to record voices or use shortcuts. It also has more flexible widgets that can be accessed from its on-all-the-time display.
The phone also comes with considerably more storage capacity to its predecessors, starting at 256GB and topping out at 1TB. The phone is also compatible with Apple’s forthcoming Apple Vision Pro headset, which will allow users to create immersive spatial videos.
5G connection
The iPhone 15 Pro supports 5G connection for seamless collaboration content creation. It provides high-quality streaming, video conference, as well as faster downloads for files with large sizes.
It also comes with additional features to increase its appeal for videographers. It can, for instance, create 4K 60fps ProRes videos using external storage. Additionally, it has a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip for improved location services.
A great benefit for creators of content is the transition to USB-C. This means that there are fewer Lightning devices you have to keep track of. Additionally, it allows data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. This is a significant leap over the 480Mbps Lightning can deliver.
