Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max introduce several new features that may interest filmmakers looking to expand their mobile video toolkit – most notably, much improved slow-motion capabilities with 4K at 120fps in Dolby Vision, and an innovative new feature called “Audio Mix”. While smartphones are certainly not typically the primary choice for professional productions, Apple made a point of it by using it again to shoot the entire Apple event, as well a new music video for The Weeknd on iPhone 16 Pro.

At yesterday’s “It’s Glowtime” event, as expected, Apple announced a range of product upgrades, and most notably a new generation of iPhones. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max enhance their video capabilities further – as a reminder, last year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were the first iPhones to shoot Apple Log, and record even ProRes 422 HQ externally via USB-C. This year’s release builds on that and enhances what the phones can do in terms of video recording.
