Apple Scary Fast Event Was Shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max: Details

Theend screenof the event sent the Apple community into a spiral of excitement making them wonder which iPhone it was shot on and how exactly. Well, we have the answers for that since merely hours after the event aired, an unlisted BTS video for the event was spotted on YouTube and has been shared all across X showing how it was shot. It confirms that aniPhone 15 Pro Max was usedto shoot the event and it was further edited on a Mac.

This news is quite believable as the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a digitized7 lens camera system, that is achieved through three native cameras (48MP + 12MP + 12MP Triple Rear Camera with OIS). This makes the entire rig quite capable. However, the most exciting takeaway from the event was that it seems like no external lenses were used in the shoot.

Apple’s team used all these capabilities along with thehelp of drones, cranes, dollies, and even professional lightingto achieve very stabilized & well-lit footage from the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s camera system. Even the low-light footage looks quite good in the event, captured over Apple Park. Today’s smartphone cameras obviously do not compare to high-end cameras used in actual film production. Despite this, thephysical structure of the camerahas evolved quite well over the years.Source: Apple via X/Apple NewsSource: Apple via X/Apple News

While we don’t know just how much extra artificial post-production was added to the footage, it is quite clear that iPhones have come a long way when it comes to cinematography.
