Last week review 21-2025
This week it was very warm in parts, but now towards the weekend it’s gotten much cooler again 😉
This week’s article was about the switch from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 Pro, which I made a few weeks ago. This switch was primarily prompted by the hope of achieving better results in photo and video with the newer iPhone.
A major advantage is certainly the smartphone’s USB-C port, which allows for connecting SSDs, for example, making transferring larger amounts of data much easier. At the same time, an option allows the connected SSD to be used to directly record photos or video clips..
New in the photography section are now five focal lengths, from ultra-wide angle to a small telephoto. The latter, however, only operates at twelve megapixels, while the other cameras, especially the standard wide angle and ultra-wide angle, operate at 48 megapixels.
However, I have to say that the 48-megapixel images don’t increase the detail of the images, so it’s more likely that these are just upscaled images.
While there have been improvements in the video area (Apple Log, PRORes, SSD recording), I’m unfortunately a bit disappointed with the new smartphone when it comes to photos.
Adobe has always supported mobile devices from the Apple Eco system with its applications like Lightroom and Photoshop Shop. A few days ago, stupidly, Photoshop also released for Android devices. However, this version of Photoshop is a public beta, so not all of the features you might be familiar with from iOS are available. It should work immediately; this public beta is currently free. However, this is likely to change with the release of the first final version.
Sigma introduced twelve new film lenses last week with a constant maximum aperture of T1. Three of these lenses, designed for professional video, all have roughly the same diameter rims and weigh 1.8 kg each. Sigma is expected to sell them at a price of approximately $8,500 each. Certainly interesting news, but for the amateur, more of a minor issue.
All in all, another very eventful week. I hope you enjoy the articles and look forward to your questions and comments.
