| [* black] No time for frivolities today, we've got places to go and other teardowns to get to. We head straight for the headlining Pro Max feature: the new cameras. | |
| [* black] The standard wide camera (bottom left) is the source of all the 12 Pro Max chatter. It's reportedly housing a 47% larger sensor, allowing it to gather more light and thus, better photos. | |
| [* icon_note] 47% larger than what? Probably the iPhone 12 standard wide sensor. Hard to say for sure though, the stat from the keynote is vague. Ask [https://youtu.be/KR0g-1hnQPA?t=3087|this guy|new_window=true]. We'll do some measurement in just a sec. | |
| - | [* black] With X-ray vision we can see that the standard wide sensor is definitely large. We can also see the magnets surrounding it, comprising the new sensor-shift image stabilization system. |
| - | [* black] Sensor-shift image stabilization is a technology a lot of modern DSLR and mirrorless cameras use. TL;DR there are two main ways to stabilize a camera: you can move the ''lens,'' or you can move the ''sensor.'' We'll let you guess which one sensor-shift stabilization moves. ;) |
| - | [* black] Most smartphones that tout image stabilization are using lens-based stabe. There have been many internet battles fought over which stabilization technique is more effective in professional cameras. |
| - | [* black] Probably safe to say if Apple went this far out of their way to bring sensor-shift to the iPhone, they think sensor-shift is the way to go. |
