Eén van de vele facetten van de iPhone waar bij Apple duidelijk veel aandacht aan besteed wordt zijn de camera’s, voor zowel fotografie als het maken van video’s. Dit betekent ook dat iPhones steeds vaker worden gebruikt voor professionele fotografie of bij het maken van serieuze films.

Daarom hieronder speciaal voor de fotografen onder ons de reviews van Austin Mann, Tyler Stalman en van Lux, de makers van fotografie-app Halide.



• iPhone 17 Pro camera review van Austin Mann

The last few years of iPhone cameras have all been powerful, yet somehow the camera team keeps finding ways to push things further.

The standout upgrade in this year’s iPhone Pro is clearly the 4x 48MP camera—along with the new 8x telephoto.

Photographic Styles continue to unlock the creative potential of the iPhone camera, and I think the new Bright style is going to be really popular.

Each year, Apple reduces the need for extra hardware—this time, cutting down on the need for external telephoto lenses.

At the end of the day, what matters most is using whatever tools we have to fully express our artistic vision and with the iPhone 17 Pro, you’re equipped to pursue just about any vision to the fullest.

De review van Tyler Stalman bestaat alleen uit een video, en hieronder te zien.



• iPhone 17 Pro camera review van Lux

For years, I was a bit annoyed at the shininess and jewel-like qualities of the Pro, and to be entirely honest, I do now miss it a little bit. This is a beast in both performance and appearance, and it feels almost a little unlike Apple. I think, however, that the direction is correct and significant.

Our phones are such a central part of our lives now that it feels significant be able to have a choice for a product that prioritizes the true 'pro' — much like MacBook Pro did in a fantastic way with the thicker, bulkier M1 series.

This, then, might be the first 'workhorse SLR' of the iPhone family, if the regular iPhone is a simple Kodak Brownie. In that, some of the simplicity that delighted in the first iPhone may have been lost — but the acknowledgement that complexity is not the enemy is a significant and good step. As a camera, it is first and foremost a tool of creative expression: gaining permission to become more fine-tuned for that purpose makes it truly powerful.

Serieus, met een iPhone in je hand fietsen. Heel veel slimmer gaat het niet worden.

Leuk voor diegene die de selfie camera veel gebruiken dat de selfie camera een beter resultaat geeft. Ik zelf gebruik het zelden, vind selfie met de wijde angel lens voorop leuker.
