I can’t deny that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is hard to beat when it comes to still photography, which comes as no surprise as it takes the top spot in our best camera phones guide. But I’m more of a video shooter than anything else. That’s why I want to take a closer look at the iPhone's slow motion video capture capabilities.
For this year’s model, Apple gave both the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max the ability to capture video natively at 4K 120 fps. This is unreal because I know very well the amount of data and processing power a dedicated camera requires to do this smoothly, let alone a camera phone that fits in my pocket. But beyond the shoot-now-and-worry-later premise of this new shooting mode, the iPhone 16 Pro Max also continues to offer a dedicated slow motion mode that can go up to 240 fps.
