This could have been accomplished with an iPhone 8 years ago. For a keynote that 99.9% of the population will watch on YouTube, what is this trying to prove?
It's an interesting demonstration, that's about it.
An iPhone 8 years ago (iPhone 6S released Sep 2015):
- Is limited to a 12MP sensor (15 Pro has 48MP on the main sensor)
- Can only shoot 4K SDR at 30fps
- Cannot shoot ProRes LOG mode
You could absolutely get a great video with an iPhone 6S. Soderbergh shot all of Unsane with an iPhone 7 and FiLMiC Pro. But comparing the video quality from Unsane to this clearly shows how far the iPhone has come.
It's an interesting demonstration. That's all it ever needed to be.
So much of what people have been doing matter of factly on iphones daily for years was just pure science fiction when I was a kid.
