    • I also really like the Mini size and form factor, and TBH it frustrates me quite significantly that they don't put the good cameras in the smaller models.  It's like forcing you to buy a truck just to get power-steering. I also agree that the square selfie-camera is a cool addition.  I'll be curious to see how wide it is, my recollection of previous versions was that they were a bit long of a focal length for what I wanted to shoot (me in a cool location) so I'd normally just use the wide-angle camera and turn it around and shoot blind.. hardly ideal. The holy grail for these cameras is to look the same as a nice camera with a stopped down aperture.  I'd suggest that those iPhone 15 Apple Log vs Alexa videos showed that it was getting pretty close, although now with RAW it will be interesting to see how close it really is.  When the first Android RAW samples came out there was something about the footage that still looked like a phone but at the time I couldn't work out what it was. There will be other things that might give the game away, but these will probably be how the camera is used rather than some innate property of the image itself. I'll be putting mine through its paces once I get back from my trip and upgrade to Resolve 20.2 to get the RAW support.  I might have to do some side-by-side comparisons too.
    • My daily driver is an iPhone 13 mini and that won’t change (lowkey wish they’d reintroduce the mini line, everyone I know that has one loves them). But my secondary iPhone will be getting a substantial upgrade to the 17 Pro. It’s the first pro model that resonates with me. Love the rugged unibody design, previous pro models still had that fragile precious feel I despise.  And of course the specs. One that few seem to mention is that open gate will be supported through Final Cut Camera 2.0. And the front camera sensor is square which allows multi aspect ratios, a cool direction. I do more and more vertical work for social and a lot of times they want the “iPhone” look not a heavy graded shallow DoF look so main benefit for that will be the cameras but I have seen impressive videos shot on iPhone Pros. 28 years later included. So who knows to what capacity all these codecs, log, open gate etc will be used.  
    • Just be sure that the apps you will use will all still fit on the internal drive.  Apps are getting more and more "featured" and are more and more bloated with things, or they do things like cache data and store it locally for enhanced performance. You might also benefit from some wiggle room, depending on how you're going to use it and how long you'll keep it.  My iPhone 12 Mini from 2020 is still going strong and if I didn't use the cameras so much I wouldn't feel the need to upgrade, so you might end up keeping it for quite some time. Yeah, I've seen tests of this configuration and they looked pretty good.  I suspect I'll end up just using the default camera app for speed of use, and I don't think it allows this combination (Log and h265) so I'll have to see what it allows me to do. Ideally I'd go for 4K and Prores 422, which is around 500Mbps, so large but still manageable.   I think there are a few very specific situation where you'd want to get the dock and use a phone rather than just use a proper camera with a (much) larger sensor, but not that many. I am in chats with a lot of professional cinematographers who shoot a variety of client projects and the consensus seems to be that when the client wants something to look like it's been shot on a phone it's far far easier to just shoot it on a phone rather than try and get that specific look in post, but of course while shooting this "look" on a professional set you'd still want all the functionality like remote directors monitors and timecode sync for audio etc etc, so it's a very niche product but if you're doing that then it can save an incredible amount of hassle.  Besides, now you can get your phone, add the external box, get a proper battery setup, and add a HUGE monitor..  no more being forced to shoot video on your iPad!!
    • Right : ) Apples to oranges anyway. I wouldn't mind to ignore a premium to pay for any of those 512GB, 1TB and 2TB, though.
    • https://www.redsharknews.com/adobe-premiere-pro-25.5?hs_amp=true   Finally, I was surprised with the massive man power at Adobe they couldn't make the transition themselves? With so many editing program offering transition build-in Premiere is really lacking until now.   Also Canon Cinema RAW light is finally hardware accelerated.. was it on software all these time? Might makes me want try raw for some shoots, it was kinda meh experience back then.
