Halide Developer Reviews the iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera: 'Mind-Blowing' Results

Sebastiaan de With, developer of the popular Halide camera app for iOS, has posted a review of the camera on the new 5G iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The new iPhone 12 Pro Max features a 47% larger sensor, a faster ƒ/1.6 lens, a brand-new ‘sensor shift’ stabilization system for low-light, ISO sensitivity is 87% higher, and a new telephoto lens, reaching a new length of 65mm (full-frame equivalent).

Despite initial reports that suggested the camera improvements might not be as great as Apple made them seem, de With found they were "mind-blowing".


As developers of a camera app, the results mind-blowing. It achieves images previously only seen in dedicated cameras, with sensors four times its size. It allows photographers to get steady and well exposed shots in conditions that weren’t imaginable a year ago. It captures low-light shots beyond anything we’ve seen on an iPhone. By a lot. If you are an advanced user, the type that uses more than just the stock apps, this phone offers a lot.
