Shanti Dope, 25 Jan 2019Never knew Apple is great at advertising Sony digital cameras!Lol

    It reminds me of an Indonesian film that was shot entirely in 4K using Samsung Note 4. I had a look on that film, and the quality is brilliant enough.

Credit where credit is due though, the latest Iphones do have excellent image quality and DOF compared to all other phones on the market.

        Props for Apple on bragging about "shot on" scam some company have been doing before. Being desperate on Chinese market huh?

          Busul , 26 Jan 2019True. Unless they use a clip on lens. Not even a clip-on lens can make a small aperture bigger.

            Can such a tiny sensor shoot movies? Very doubtful, hard to believe. Must be thousands of editing use software and hardware cost 10 times than iphone XS. Average people with their iphones xs will never have that movies. Better buy 100 dollar used android phones.

                Even the best cameras used in movies are edited, don't be fo ol ish little girls

                  They should do "The Making of the Bucket" Film

                    Well guys it is shot on the XS but subject to heavy use of gimbles, stabilizers of all kinds which a normal consumer will never get their hands on. A setup like that will cost multiple times than the cost of the XS itself so looking at this video and assuming that you can shoot videos like that on your XS with no other equipment is misleading. Anyways it's the same for other manufacturers as well not just Apple.

                      ofcourse. I own an iPhone XS (because my work forces me too ( ̄^ ̄);' oof...) but I got an ARMY of Android devices.

You're defending Apple in any way they can. Yes. Maybe it is shot on iPhone XS. But definitely edited on a high end computer. Not a shitty phone

                                    So curious to know how did apple do video recording with that blurred background.. seems like a souped up version of the Apple XS or a heavily edited footage that is far from reality of what Apple XS can actually do.

                                      Apple, please come up with some tech breakthroughs otherwise it’s a “kick the bucket” for your organisation.

                                      Be a leader of tech and not a follower. iPhone users are not upgrading as fast as before because the improvements for every latest flagship model is now considered marginal or insignificant.
                                      Dual and E-SIM capabilities aren’t as great as what other Android phones are capable of.
