all right we finally got our hands on
the iphone 13 pro max it's supposed to
have a bigger sensor better camera and
some new features like cinematic mode
it's my first time using this hello
i could already tell the bigger sensor
because in a medium close-up i'm getting
a blurry background we're definitely
getting a shallower depth of field here
when you compare the iphone 12 pro max
which already was impressive but we're
taking it a step further now and i've
got a terabyte of storage so i never
have to stop recording carrie so now for
the mode that we've all been waiting for
is cinematic mode so let me go ahead
enter that
continue the depth space is stored whoa
so this is the live preview that i get
so it's already showing me what it's
going to look like but it's definitely
imperfect but let's see how it looks if
i record and watch the video back so
we're going into a close up hello
and yeah you see a little bit of that
fuzzy outline and if you look at her hat
for example right now it looks like it's
kind of glowing but let's see maybe once
it's done processing it's gonna look
real good so we're gonna go ahead and
cut and let's look back on the footage
uh
i don't know carrie what do you think
can you tell it's like fake background
blur it's got those edges that bloom a
little bit yeah it almost feels like i
could be in front of like a green screen
huh yeah okay cool so people like me
still have a purpose having like
professional cameras i got worried there
for a second it's like is this the video
where i go
us professionals you don't need us just
take your phone
it's gonna look just as good oh but
check this out i could go back to the
playback and i could adjust where the
focus is so you know how it's focused on
you but let's see if i tap on the car oh
yeah look at that oh that's pretty
impressive so it's adjustable oh and i
can also just completely turn off the
cinematic mode all together so you're
not tied into it which is nice oh that's
crazy you could even change the lens so
let's see if we go to f 2.0
very blurry background and as we close
down the lens the f-16 you get that
focus back in that's very interesting
but anyways in case you're gonna hear
there's the grand peak
the race car thing it's going on this
way so let's let's just go there quickly
[Music]
man checking out the grand prix was
pretty epic i mean you know these cars
go fast you see it on tv all the time
but when you're actually there just
mushroom crazy i also thought it was
pretty insane how they converted
downtown long beach to become a race
track i mean this whole area here we
filmed the red komodo video here with
cole and for the weekend it was just
like a completely different place so
definitely cool to see how they convert
all that you also have to admit the
footage from the phone it's pretty good
even when i'm blowing it up to a larger
screen like this it's really impressive
they just keep leveling up the quality
we're able to get out of our phones and
we did a few more shots with cinematic
mode and it actually can look really
really good like this shot right here
sunset in the background look at that it
looks good doesn't it yeah it looks do i
say cinematic one thing i didn't realize
is that it doesn't record in 4k in
cinematic mode it does that in full hd
and then you have the cinematic version
and then you have the normal version so
you can download either or and you can
apply it and alter it here's another
clip of dylan eating a delicious chip
and if we take a look at it you can
definitely see that fuzziness around his
head and you could tell if i take a
photo in portrait mode it definitely
does a much cleaner cut and you don't
get that blooming which is the easiest
giveaway that it is artificial you can
just tell that it's not 100 there like
you can see the tip of your nose right
there is a little bit blurred when it
shouldn't you know with certain
movements you start to see clues that
it's cinematic mode and not an actual
full-frame sensor but even with all that
being said this is by far the best fake
depth of field in video i've ever seen
out of a phone this shot i thought was
really impressive because it's dusk but
it still looks very clean with the
wide-angle lens we now have an f 1.5
lens it used to be f 1.6 and before we
used to have a sensor that was 1.7
microns per pixel that's basically how
big each pixel is big pixels is what i'm
all about i've been saying that since
day one but now we have 1.9 so slightly
bigger sensor and a slightly faster lens
which is going to give us this overall
better performance in low-light the
difference is fairly minor but if you
look for it you'll see it now apple has
also mentioned that with the better and
faster processor it's able to utilize a
lot more machine learning to try to
figure out what are you filming are you
filming fireworks and it'll try to kind
of adjust for that things just look
cleaner the colors look better you get a
little bit more contrast where you want
it and less contrast where you don't
want it now one of the things i'm
personally really excited about is the
improvement in lens in the ultra wide
angle which we're just about to switch
to f 1.8 the sensor itself is at one
micron but the gap between an f1 8 to
2.4 that's almost a full stop of light
so almost double the amount of light is
coming through that lens and hitting
that sensor which is awesome of course
that means it's going to rely on
autofocus a little bit more because
again the more light it's sliding
through with the open aperture the less
things you're going to be able to have
in focus at the same time but with that
lidar that they have in here the focus
has been really reliable and it's pretty
intelligent on what you're trying to
focus on this is going to make the ultra
wide angle lens actually usable in low
light not as good as the wide angle lens
but still a very noticeable upgrade and
remember that slow motion also requires
more light hitting that sensor so these
improvements are definitely going to
help you out i do tend to find myself
filming in low light for whatever reason
i mean for example last night carrie and
i went out for dinner and when we got
back to our car there was a dude just
looking into the car like trying to get
in i think and then we get into our car
and then he goes into the car in front
of us and look at this guy it's like in
the middle of the street like that
doesn't look suspicious at all and i got
him in 4k it's like the new red-handed
you know caught you 4k
with 1.9 microns per pixel so i get very
high accuracy of color even in low light
yeah look you can even see that this
dude has a black eye so he's getting
himself into all kinds of trouble all
right now looking at the selfie camera
or the true depth camera as they call it
it still looks good it's 12 megapixels f
2.2 so no major improvements in terms of
specs or anything like that that is
something i would love to see in the
next version like a really solid
front-facing camera because i want to be
able to vlog with it dylan i'm sure you
want to tick-tock with it all the time
dude i'm just waiting to figure this out
you'll be able to tick-tock in the dark
if you want underwater underwater sure
on the moon cool yeah now the telephoto
lens is a 3x zoomed out instead of the
2.5 we used to get with the 12 pro max
or the 2x zoom we got out of the 11 pro
max i'm personally a big fan of that
i'll take as much reach as i can get out
of that telephoto camera because when
it's just a 2x zoom i feel like it's
pretty pointless probably seems to be
that every time we go tighter with an
iphone lens we lose a little bit of
speed from that lens so we used to have
an f 2.0 then it went to a 2.2 and now
we have an f 2.8 which might sacrifice
some low light capability but two
generations back to the 11 pro max way
way less noise so i don't know if the
sensor is just better at picking up the
light that comes through the lens or if
they've just gotten way better at
denoising the image but regardless i'm
loving what i'm seeing now getting into
the reach the 3x is obviously tighter
than the 2.5 but nothing too substantial
but the real difference kicks in when
you start activating that digital zoom
and punching into the image further so
let's go ahead and go into a 5x zoom
here and notice the difference in
sharpness especially in the text and the
lines much cleaner in the new 13 pro max
the 13 pro max gives us a little extra
reach and can go up to 9x so not only
are we getting a cleaner image but we
also get more reach so that is awesome i
also noticed that we're now able to view
a stabilized image while we're filming
it opposed to the 12 which seems to show
you a unstabilized version of the video
while you're filming but then it
stabilizes the image afterwards so not a
big deal but it does definitely make the
shooting experience that much better
because you know what you're getting
opposed to hoping that it's going to
stabilize enough after you shoot now i
actually think the big story here is the
macro that is just built into this
camera no adapters nothing fancy you
just bring the camera really close up to
whatever you're trying to focus on and
it just keeps pulling that focus it's
kind of insane so here's an example with
the 12 pro max this is as tight as we
can get but if we move in closer we lose
focus i also tried it with the other
lenses and you know it's not bad right
it's kind of what you would expect out
of a phone the telephoto lens seems to
give us the best results you could
actually read that writing on that
button but now look at what we can do
with the 13. look we just keep going and
it's a microscope now that is just
insane i'll admit it i had a lot of fun
playing around with the macro i mean
look you can see all the stitching the
details on the fabric i mean it's pretty
wild how good the macro is here's some
texture of a leaf you're seeing all
kinds of stuff that you're not usually
able to see with your naked eye oh look
at my eyeball that's kind of disgusting
i'm a little bit disturbed dude would it
look weird if you got up close to like
an ant or a fly should we do that yeah
forget the flies check this out no come
here oh i see it
oh my gosh
dude that is so cool that is not cool
that is the scariest thing in the world
but yeah overall what do you guys think
i mean me personally anytime i can get
an upgrade to the camera that i always
have on me i'm pretty happy about that
and my personal favorite is probably the
better lens in the ultra wide angle lens
so let me go ahead and switch to that
and here we are in the ultra wide angle
it probably still doesn't look that good
because it's pretty dimly lit in this
hotel room i'm doing a little bit of
traveling for a project i'm filming
something it's not a youtube thing it's
like but look how much crap i have to
bring with me just to get professional
looking footage i can't wait till the
day where it's like hey we're going out
on a shoot let's go on this job all you
got to do is bring the phone charger and
maybe a tripod i've actually been seeing
a lot of people just traveling with
nothing but like a tripod and a little
foam mount so you know things are
shifting the quality out of these phones
you gotta admit they're getting pretty
good but yeah what's it like when you're
looking at this ultra wide angle lens
let me switch it to the best ones the
wide angle lens and there how's that
look i have a little bit less room for
air here because i can't actually see
what i'm filming here if we go look at
the mirror you know like i can't really
tell what i'm filming so i'm gonna flip
it around to the selfie camera at least
i can see when i'm filming so that does
make things easier anyways i get an
early call time tomorrow so i should
probably get to sleep so uh
good night
