One of the great new features of the iPhone 13 Pro that Apple touted during the event was video recording using the ProRes video codec.
However, more details on the capacity listed on Apple’s website, as seen by iPhone in Canada, show that storage will limit ProRes recording capabilities on your iPhone 13 Pro.
“ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30fps (1080p at 30fps for 128GB storage),” reads Apple’s ‘Tech Specs’ page for the iPhone 13 Pro. Also, the small print at the bottom indicates that the feature will come “later this fall,” indicating that ProRes won’t even be available on the iPhone 13 Pro at launch.
That means any iPhone customer planning to take full advantage of the camera’s video capabilities will want to shell out an additional $ 250 + for the 256GB option ($ 1,539 for the 256GB iPhone 13 Pro, $ 1,689 for the Pro Max from 256 GB).
It’s also worth noting that the regular iPhone 13 and 13 mini don’t have ProRes recording support.
Apple describes ProRes as providing “an unmatched combination of real-time and multi-stream editing performance, impressive image quality, and low storage rates.” You can learn more about this. here.
Of course, this only matters if you really care about ProRes video. I guess most people won’t. However, those who do will want to make sure they get an iPhone 13 Pro with at least 256GB of storage.
