They put pro features on here. And yes, if you want the fastest game performance, you have to get the pro phone, yada, yada. What else is new, right? By the way, we didn't talk about this before, but...

one dis continue one continuing disappointing status quo is that the non-pro phone still does not have promotion which is probably already criminal and will get increasingly so as time moves on i know regular people don't care about 60 hertz versus 120 hertz but eventually you just have to give it to them because it's this it's like the baseline it's table stakes it's an 800 phone with a 60 hertz screen

That's bad. ProRes video encoding? Nobody cares if that's missing. The faster USB speeds, people are not copying huge video files via wire to SSDs off of their plain old iPhone 16s. That's what a pro phone is for. And kudos to Apple. Like,

that they're pro and non-pro phones you look at them and like they're exactly the same except for this one has three cameras why would i ever get a pro one and they give you a bunch of reasons and if those reasons don't appeal to you it's because you're not in the market for a pro phone so i think they managed to differentiate it despite the fact that the camera control and the action button are not exclusive to the pro phone the hardware features with the exception of that third camera are not exclusive to the pro phone and yet the pro phone still looks very much like a pro thing

The 14 Pro also had the binning, pixel binning.

oh it did okay then then we're seeing even less difference so the 2x readout is significant though like the 2x readout is basically that's that's a new sensor you know and you may think well is why does the readout is part of the sensor how fast can you get the data off that it's all big one of course big sandwich thing and that makes a big difference because a lot of the features that are upgrades this year like to be able to do 4k 120 and everything is because of the faster readout or even just something as simple as when you take a raw how long is it before you can use your

phone to take another picture you have to wait for the readout to go by they don't have huge buffers like they do on big fancy cameras for you to be able to lean on the button and get you know 30 frames per second or you know 100 frames per second or whatever in raws uh on the phones when you take a raw it's like it thinks about it for half a second or whatever two times faster readout is a big improvement to the ability to take a raw and then quickly take another raw so additionally the ultra wide is now also 48 megapixel which is a new development is it not

I think this is an instance where there's just like a software thing that wasn't ready, like so much of iOS 18 software features. I think that what they're trying to say is like the... using the shutter button to press and then press like that. So it's not like, obviously the camera control can do that, but it's a question of is there software support for it?

And I do wonder if it's a situation where they didn't get the software ready enough unless they didn't want to release it in a state where there could potentially be accidental input or it wasn't clear where the half press was or whatever. Again, I'm not sure how that's going to work.

It's tricky for some people even with big camera buttons that have relatively huge amounts of travel and the amount of travel that the camera control seems to have is,
