Those using an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max as a camera phone now finally have the option of saving photos directly to an SD memory card or external SSD instead of the iPhone's internal storage, enabling entirely new workflows.

What is more important is not idiotic photos from a small sensor (what fool would film his wedding on a smartphone? For this they hire professionals with full frame cameras), but video recording with a high bitrate in 4:4:4 mode, which requires a recording speed in a stable mode of at least than 200Mb/s with a resolution of at least 4k (and preferably 8k) - because It will almost certainly require post-processing with compression of the final result. And this is where all smartphones, including Apple models, shamefully fall apart in terms of intentionally too low bitrates, despite the fact that top models have capacious storage with write speeds at the SSD level.

In fact, 4k video recording in 36-bit 60fps 4:4:4 mode requires approximately 150-160MB/s with 15x compression on the fly, which requires for high-quality post-processing, a disk with a capacity of only 1TB for 2 hours of such recording that even today, technically, it does not pose any problems in mass models.

Even 6k video recording (to get high-quality 4k after post-processing, and not 2.5k-fhd) does not pose any particular technical problem, except for the very process of shooting such a resolution in smartphones with a small sensor (with a very poor dynamic range and color depth) and extremely weak sharpness and the aperture of the optics, which already leads to a monstrous level of noise at the slightest problem with stage lighting.

The main problem for high-quality video shooting in 4k is the shameful batteries, despite a bunch of startups claiming super-progress over the last 20 years.
