Almost everyone wields a camera these days because they already have one by default on their smartphones. But not just any phone will capture the best results, and that’s why some stand out for particular reasons.
Apple will add the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptop models that are equipped with the M1 family of chips to its Self Service Repair program tomorrow. This includes the parts, tools, and manuals that are required to make repairs to these devices at home.
Apple has made good on its promise to make self-service repair of its products available and genuine parts and tools can now be purchased by customers in the United States through its Self Service Repair Store.
It is very common to hear the term "1-inch sensor" and based on the name, it would be natural to assume that at least part of it is 1-inch in size. Except that's not the case.
Apple has announced the Self Service Repair program which it says will allow customers who are comfortable with making their own repairs to access Apple genuine parts and tools.
The new iPhone 13 Pro Macro mode allows for perspectives that are new to the iPhone, but limited to those who purchase Apple's newest devices. Halide wants to change that and has announced an update to its app that brings macro to all iPhones.
Vimeo has announced that it is the first to bring the ability to host, share, and playback videos shot in Dolby Vision and uploaded through Apple devices.
Apple's introduction of Night mode made its smartphones far more usable in low-light situations. But as good as it is, not all shots are artistically improved with Night mode -- some can be made worse. In iOS 15, Apple is giving photographers the option to turn it off -- and keep it off.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted Apple a patent for a compact camera that uses a set of prisms to "fold" light and compress the amount of space needed for a telephoto lens. This type of lens is typically referred to as a "periscope" lens in smartphones.
A new report alleges that Apple is not only planning to shrink the size of its FaceID sensor chip but also scale down the size of the large front-facing "notch" at the top of the display thanks mostly to a redesigned front-facing camera.
Apple is continuing its "Experiments" videos series and has released the latest in the collection which was shot on iPhone 12 titled "Full Bloom," just in time to celebrate the spring season.
I use my phone like most people. I scroll through my social media feeds, order from overpriced delivery apps, and even make the occasional phone call. But in 2021, there’s one feature alone that decides how much I’ll spend on a phone: the camera.
Last year, Apple brought back the MagSafe by integrating a magnetic attachment to the back of its iPhone 12 phones. While to this point it has only been used to charge the device and hold accessories, what if it could be leveraged to attach a full-frame sensor to the iPhone?
As a professional photographer, you can imagine my surprise when I found that my favorite iPhone (possibly ever) was not the one with the best camera. In fact, the phone I am talking about the rarely-mentioned iPhone 12 Mini.
MacRumors published a report earlier this week that stated a "periscope" lens system like those found in competitor Android-powered devices is still years away. While disappointing, Apple has still been busy, as the 2021 devices should still see a notable improvement.

Photographer Toby Harriman has published a stunning set of photos of the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska that he captured with his iPhone 12 Pro Max and Apple ProRAW and has provided a few opinions on the performance. In short: he was blown away.
Reports emerged recently that the iPhone 12's camera can't be repaired well by third-party repair shops -- even swapping it for a genuine Apple camera module causes functionality issues. Now it seems Apple may soon officially warn iPhone owners when their device has a non-genuine camera.
If there was a theme in automotive advertising photography for 2020, it would be minimalism. This not only applies to aesthetics, but also (and more importantly) to production.
Thinking about interchangeable lenses for your iPhone might immediately bring to mind Moment. But they aren't alone in the smartphone optic game, and Sandmarc has released lenses and filters designed for the iPhone 12 series.

For those paying attention, the HDR video landscape is incredibly convoluted. But before we get into that, it's important to recognize that HDR video is not the same as HDR photography, and it certainly is not related to the over-sharpened, oversaturated images popular five to ten years ago.
Since the Pro Max marks the first time in a while that Apple changed the size of its camera sensor, PetaPixel spoke to two Apple executives who outlined the company's vision and design philosophy behind camera development.
Moment's latest line of products takes advantage of Apple's MagSafe technology, using the magnetic connection to attach the iPhone and new Moment cases together in what Moment promises is a stronger, better way.
Despite scoring the iPhone 12 a "6 out of 10 for repairability," iFixit has found that its standard camera module repair tests were "unreliable," giving a buggy and inconsistent experience. In short, it fails.
Hello photography fans. Today I am going to pit the Ricoh GR III—the reigning champ of street photography—against the new iPhone 12. I want to see if the new iPhone will be able to replace, at least to a certain extent, your camera and if it still makes sense to buy a compact camera if the street photography is your main genre.
Yesterday, iFixit finally tore into the brand new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro (the Pro Max isn't available yet) during a 1 hour and 30 minute-long live stream. And about 44 minutes in, they got to the part we're most interested in: the cameras.
The iPhone 12 Pro was just announced, but today we are getting to see a few of the very first portraits shot on the latest from Apple. In a PetaPixel exclusive, this series by photographer Aundre Larrow captures friends and family that have spent most of 2020 quarantined together.
Apple today announced the iPhone 12 and 12 mini, the company's latest iPhones that promise greater photo and video performance. With a new 7 element lens, Apple promises the new iPhone 12 and 12 mini to see a 27% improvement in low light performance.
Apple will allegedly unveil the iPhone 12 lineup sometime in October, and according to the most recent leaks there are a lot of interesting camera improvements coming our way, especially if you go with one of the "Pro" models.
