4K HDR Night Video test of the Apple iPhone 16 pro - HDR will be available once YouTube finishes processing the video

My opinion - possibly better hardware and camera sensors compared to Pixel 9 Pro, but Google video boost is better for most cases. Yes video boost requires an upload to the cloud and takes long to process, but after shooting the video I literally did nothing, and the result was ready to post once video boost was done. Whereas the iPhone footage looks good, but I had to manually color grade it to make it presentable for posting. In everyday life (not YouTube posting), yes the iPhone videos are available right away, but for most people, on the Pixel you have a okay preview version if you want to share right away and after some time, a AI color graded video ready for you to enjoy. For me, most of the time I don't go back and look at my casual pictures or short videos until "some time" after I've taken them (most likely when I get home at the soonest, or more likely the next day or week). 😁

Settings - 4K HDR 60fps (normal, ProRes HDR, ProRes Log)
Editing - Light color grading. ProRes Log required the most, ProRes HDR required the least (it didn't feel right comparing raw footage against Pixel 9 Pro Video Boost)
Controls - All cameras with "smooth" zoom available

Wonderful relaxing video. Thank you for taking me along. Cheers!

I think it was James Cameron who said something like "video shot in 60fps or higher takes the lens out of reality", which is so accurate. This video is so clear and smooth it doesn't even feel like watching something real.

Omg this is insane, very good video quality ❤😊

[quarterburnt]

Interesting watching this before YouTube processes the HDR. Standard SDR looks way too dim now.

I Love JAPAN ❤ and Greetings from ARGENTINA 🇦🇷

[blueskynise]

this is a really relaxing ambience video to play in the background while cooking or organizing things. thank you!

[edzen]

wow very nice, but pixel 9 is also very good, in terms of stabilty alone i think the iphone is the clear winner

[berndp]

What I am observing is that the camera has some problems with bright stray light coming from the side into to the lens, causing some kind of white haze in the picture. This happens multiple times while you walk along bright illumination/display walls. Maybe some kind of polarization filter could help with this. (plus increase of contrast as a side-effect).

Im so glad you made an iPhone video again 😄

[aa-gzkw]

Wow actually really good quality amazing what the new phone is capable of

[vbAPiYk]

Interesting experiments, thanks for uploading.

[techsture]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I love the alleyways full of tiny bars and restaurants. 🤗

[kurisub]

28:19 impressive zoom! Also the sound in this video sounds great on my AirPod Pro 2s.

[loyaltrip]

Beautiful city and great watching HDR experience. Thank u. 👍🏻

[largon]

The video quality is sick on iphones. i'm so happy with my 16 pro max white titanium. Great video! I was just in Japan 3 weeks ago and stayed in a hotel in that same area where godzilla's head is. Loved Japan.

The colors are a bit flat, almost pastel in less bright conditions.
A tiny bit more Vibrance/saturation could be the solution.

[pedroheilel]

I’m stoned, watching this video and I couldn’t believe how real this experience felt. Thank you.

[greenmachatea]

No light flickering. Most videos at night would be unwatchable with the flickering all around! Quality is good too.

[AlexGower]

Were you using a gimbal? Also can explain were you shooting using external ssd? For log?
