The reason to buy this years iPhone is its camera.

Or, cameras, plural.

For that, you’re able to look at Apples owniPhone 12 pages.

Now, lets dig in.

That is now available in all cameras on the iPhone, not just the wide camera.

Powered by A14 Bionic and a new ISP, Night mode is now included on more cameras, including the Ultra Wide.

It’s an amazing trick.

The 12 Pro Max also gets a bigger sensor on its main (wide) camera.

Bigger sensors means bigger pixels, which means more light can be gathered.

A14 Bionic enables powerful computational photography and faster photo and video editing on iPhone 12.

ProRAW offers the same level of modular tweaking, only with all this deep-level processing.

It also saves the “raw” data output from the sensor.

Youll be able to edit in Lightroom, for example.

All this adds up to an amazing professional tool.

“Especially when it comes to working with additional lighting and tethering workflows.”

But there are problems beside the technical, says Betties.

“Using a phone diminishes your standing as a photographer and degrades you as a hobbyist.

Clients like to see gear on set and not a phone.”

And thats before we see what app makers do with ProRAW.

Its going to be a great year for iPhone photography.
