First encounter with the new iPhone 16 Pro Max, and quick comparison with my previous iPhone, the 12 Pro Max.
Details of the recording and editing data in video.
Internal video recording on both iPhones.
Video file transfer using the new Apple Thunderbolt 5 cable failed for 2 files from 26 total (using a 2021 Macbook Pro M1Max). Starting all over, again FCP refused importing those 2 files.
Airdrop transfer was no problem.
Also no problem importing those 2 files in FCP with a Caldigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable (0.5 m).
Conclusion : great quality with standard 1x lens on new iPhone. Low light recording with 5x tele lens not so great…
