Not if youre a normal person who doesnt have a hobby of doing video stuff. Yeah, its got ups and downs, but the iphone really is the best, or near to it, for anybody who wants to record someyhing without knowing what iso or exposure is.

128gb is average. That’s my point. iphone ads are getting shit on because they called 128gb ‘lots of storage’. It’s not ‘lots’. It’s average.
well, that, and it’s apple, and everyone loves to hate those guys.
Who in God’s name sits down to watch a replay of their kid’s soccer game that they already saw live
lmao, soccer moms showing it off to their grandparents or adding one or two cuts into a graduation video, etc. Basic family shit. If I buy a phone with the best video camera possible, I want to be able to record jimmy’s birthday parties, jane’s soccer games, and whatever else theyre doing without having to stress about which kid is more important to show to grandma at the end of the month because i’m low on space.
You’ve missed the point though. The specific example is generic and not meant to be taken literally.
Nobody contests it’s top three, and a large chunk of people say it’s best in class for video.

Idunno if technically correct is the best route to go here. But sure, if you wanna defend more bs marketting from a huge ass company, you go.
Lemme explainw hy the rest of us find this a little dumb to see. Iphone is famous for being the best phone in the world at recording video, which is not nearly as small, especially at high resolutions.
For context, a 4k60fps video is 400MB per minute, which would fill up the phone in less than 5 and a half hours. You can record less than four of your kids soccer games with that. If you go with 4k24fps (135MBpm), you can get 948 minutes of video which is 11 soccer games. You’ll probably get most of your kids soccer games, but you’ll have to dump the video if they get to the playoffs.
If you got noticably shitty quality at 720p30fps, (why would you do that on the phone camera with the arguable best video recordings in the world?!) you get 53 hours of video recording time.
Look, its a lot compared to vhs, which could do up to 240 minutes, or vhs-c, (the mobile vhs) which could do up to 60 minutes of video.
It’s a lot compared to phones from ten years ago, even. But it sure as fuck is not a lot when you compare it to literally any other phone from the same price bracket and age range. Thats the point. The storage is fucking average compared to competitors. If you use the phrase ‘a lot of storage’ you damn well better be doing at least twice what your competition is doing for me to agree with you.
“Stop using the device you paud more a thousand dollara for. Then you can admire it from a distance and not run into manufactured problems”.
I can’t agree with you. If someone promises to give me ‘a lot’ of anything, and then gives me an average amount, i’m going to call them out on it.
If someone handed you a regular glass of water and told you it was ‘a lot’ of water, you’d think they were an idiot.
