Apple ProRaw can transform your iPhone 12 photography. Here's how

Apple ProRaw can transform your iPhone 12 photography. Here’s how

Andrew Hoyle/CNET Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max has already proven itself to pack one of the best cameras it’s possible to get on a phone. The addition of ProRaw takes it further, though, and makes this phone camera an even bigger rival to professional DSLRs. I’m a professional photographer, and I spent some time with ProRaw in beta form on the 12 Pro Max before it officially launched in iOS 14.3. I…

"With yesterday’s release of iOS 14.3, Siri got a new trick: the ability to play real-world sound samples on command. Ask “Hey Siri, what does _____ sound like?” and it will start playing the sound for you. If you ask on an iPhone or iPad, it will show you a picture as well. Google Assistant has been able to do this for a few years now, but now it’s available for the iPhone, iPad, and HomePod.

"Apple hasn’t announced how many sounds it’s added, but it’s been able to handle most of the animals I asked about (except for some obscure ones that I’m not sure have a real distinctive noise, like an anteater)."

With the addition of Apple ProRAW in the latest iOS 14.3 update and a nice snowfall beginning, I wanted to experiment a bit! I’m by no means a photographer (or great at editing photos), but I still like to take pictures and try anyway. Enjoy me standing in the middle of my road as a car slowly began to come my way. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shotoniphone #iphone12promax #appleproraw #photography #snow #snowfall #outdoors #beautiful #winter #winterphotography #apple #ios14 (at Warren, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3jcnYhpyN/?igshid=1d5ezidsd5soc

Understanding ProRAW

With iOS 14.3 and the new iPhone, Apple has introduced an updated RAW image file format spec that extends on the already robust editing capabilities of RAW. They call it ProRAW.

Ben Sandofsky, of Halide, goes long on explaining how digital image sensors work, what RAW is, and how Apple has extended that spec and why with ProRAW in Understanding ProRAW.

I appreciated this bit:

Remember old film cameras? Their photos also had to be developed from a negative.

Remember? I used one today Ben!

It is a worthy read if you’re into this sort of thing. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and plan on using ProRAW when the situation warrants it. In fact, with what will likely be one of the biggest snowstorms of this winter headed our way I have some ideas. I’m glad Ben took the time to explain exactly what the main benefits are.

Warning Issued For Millions Of iPhone 12 Users

Warning Issued For Millions Of iPhone 12 Users

Warnings about Apple’s new iPhone 12 range are beginning to snowball. Following concerns about display irregularities and widespread signal drops, owners are now reporting serious battery problems. 

Significant problems with battery drain are being reported with Apple’s iPhone 12 range

Picked up by AppleInsider, thousands of users are speaking out about dramatic battery drain when their new iPhones are in standby. While the actual discharge rate varies (from 4-15% per hour), based on comments across Apple Support Communities, Reddit and Twitter, the issue can affect all iPhone 12 models and there is currently no fix. 

“I’m an engineer working in the mobile telecom industry and the discharge rate currently seen on my iPhone 12 is a faulty curve,” states one affected user who notes he has a track record in working with Apple on bug reports. 

Illustrating his point in two graphs (see below), the engineer explains: “Please check both curves, on the top you can see a drain, regardless of any handset usage during day OR night AND despite low-power mode. Any engineer can tell you this is abnormal behaviour. On the bottom you will see a ‘normal’ discharge curve, where you can clearly see it’s not a straight line down the hill but is depending on usage etc.”

Users are reporting that battery drain can be so high that an iPhone 12 Pro can lose 50% charge overnight while an iPhone 12 Mini can discharge completely. More commonly, affected users see a 20-30% drop overnight. 

So far attempts to isolate the problem have come up short, with users disabling mobile data, GPS, WiFi, push email and even factory resetting their phones without success. Interestingly, one user reports that simply having a SIM installed causes his iPhone 12 Pro battery to drop dramatically and removing it stopped the drain. 

This suggests a potential problem with the modem, but the sample size is too small to know for sure. It is also unknown at this stage whether this is a problem which can be fixed via a software update or whether faulty iPhones need to be returned. While thousands of users have confirmed they are suffering from the issue, it also remains to be seen how widespread this is when iPhone 12 models have already sold in the millions. Either way, however, it’s clearly a significant problem. 

At the time of publishing, Apple has not responded to my request for comment. I will update this post if/when that changes. 

As it stands, there’s no denying that the iPhone 12 range is hugely impressive and performance in particular is ballistic. That said, there are clearly teething problems out the gate, so if you are rushing to upgrade to an iPhone 12, it might be a smart move to hold off for now and give Apple time to smooth things out.
