The secret F1 camera built with iPhone parts that made the iPhone even better
Screen capture from Apple's F1: The Movie trailer (Image credit — Apple) Apple revealed that its upcoming film "F1: The Movie" utilized an exclusive camera system made from iPhone components to record racing footage. A custom camera device was developed to fulfill the specific recording needs of Formula 1 vehicles through its driver-view camera functionality. F1 driver-view camera systems are designed with live stream latency in mind, not optimal quality or post-production workflows. That's where Apple's engineers had to flex their creative muscles. The team developed a replacement broadcast unit with an aerodynamic design that matched standard broadcast unit dimensions and shapes to protect the vehicle's structural and aerodynamic properties. The module housed a camera sensor from an iPhone, a custom version of iOS, and an Apple A-series processor — likely the A17 Pro, given the production timeline. The camera captured footage in ProRES using LOG encoding, which is better suited for color grading in professional editing environments. According to a report by Wired, the module included: A 48 MP iPhone camera sensor sensor An A-series chip for image processing for image processing An iPhone battery for power for power An ND (neutral density) filter to manage exposure The absence of wireless controls meant that videographers relied on a USB-C connection and a custom iPad application to manage recording settings such as frame rate, white balance, and capture triggers. The iPhone 15 Pro Max camera system. | Image credit — PhoneArena The development work conducted for F1 racing has possibly affected the video functions within the iPhone 15 Pro. The new iPhone 15 Pro added LOG recording capabilities along with Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) support, which professionals use in mobile hardware integration into a customized module makes this instance unique because it was developed to function within a high-speed, high-vibration environment. Apple has not provided information about future plans for this camera system, though. And to think that all of this is happening while Apple TV+, where the movie has aired exclusively, is reportedly losing over $1 billion a year despite having 45 million subscribers, with limited viewership and costly content investments. In fact, Apple TV+ might be Apple's only unprofitable subscription service right now. While Apple's story with the F1 movie is a unique case of using a phone (or more like a phone's parts) to shoot a movie, other companies have done similar projects. For example, Samsung promoted the Galaxy S23 Ultra's camera prowess by getting none other than Sir Ridley Scott to film the movie "Behold." Here it is: Sony also did something of this sort for its movie "Kilian's Game," which was partially shot with the Xperia 1 III and Xperia PRO 5G: All of these examples tell me one thing — phone cameras have come much closer to professional-grade ones, especially when you throw in a few modifications and a person that knows what they are doing. While these stories are undoubtedly done with PR in mind, I can't help but feel inspired by them.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority While here at Android Authority, we live and breathe Google's mobile OS, we try to stay objective and recognize when competing platforms do something better.

These discounts apply to nearly all color versions of both tablets. The only exception is the Apple iPad Mini in Starlight. Apple iPad A16 This is Apple's most affordable tablet, and we would recommend it even at its $349 price point. These base models tend to be very popular because modern iterations offer excellent performance, a nice design, and an overall outstanding experience. Most people will be more than happy with the Apple iPad A16. That said, the experience doesn't change much compared to the previous model. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. Why fix something that isn't broken? The Apple iPad A16 has a metallic construction and a sleek design that is iconic of Apple tablets. The 11-inch display is large and looks great, thanks to the 2,360 x 1,640p resolution. And if you want, you can take advantage of the Apple Pencil USB-C or Apple Pencil First-Generation. The performance won't be an issue. It gets an Apple A16 processor that works very well, and can honestly handle any app or task. It gets 4GB of RAM, which doesn't seem impressive, but casual users will have no issue doing basic multitasking. This new model starts at 128GB, which is also nice considering the previous model started at 64GB. Battery life is pretty good, too, at about 10 hours per charge.

It also supports both the Apple Pencil USB-C and Apple Pencil Pro. The rest of the general experience is definitely better. It gets an Apple A17 Pro and 8GB of RAM. The adoption of the newer chip makes it a better option for those who care about AI, as this processor supports Apple Intelligence. Of course, it also performs better, and having twice the RAM is definitely a nice addition for multitasking. Rita El Khoury / Android Authority While it has a smaller body, battery life isn't affected. It still gets 10 hours per charge. And of course, the general design and build quality stay the same, but in a smaller form factor. You really can't go wrong with either of these iPads.
