How good are smartphone cameras, really? Companies like Apple are always making a big show about the capabilities of the best camera phones compared to more expensive and specialized equipment. But for the most part, phone cameras haven't quite made it into high-brow filmmaking.
If you listened to some of the pre-release hype, "28 Years Later" could have been the movie to change that. A big deal was made about the fact the film was (partly) filmed using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, rather than more traditional filmmaking equipment. And now, having seen the film, I'm not sure it's the advertisement for smartphone filmmaking that some might have made it out to be.
