I have jumped in the fun world of the high end mobile filmmaking market. Mainly because mobile and apps are a way for business/routine such as private workshops. Since mobiles are becoming very niche with video, it's only a matter of time until we see a bloom for it at the business level.
I never bothered to upgrade from my iPhone 8 Plus until the iPhone 12 Pro Max came out, and unfortunately I was disappointed. I had researched across the net keywords regarding autogain exposure that was out of control. At first I thought it was Filmic Pro but even Steven Soderbergh addressed the problem. I even see the problem on Beast Cam and Mavis. I did not see this problem in the iPhone 8 Plus. The reason why I kept the 8 Plus for so long was because 12MP on each lens was fine for me and the noise reduction algorithm was great in low light, also 26mm and 58mm was fine for me nor did I care for Ultra Wide lenses since the distortion was just not my liking. And finally, everything before the 12 series was still 8-bit. I had no idea that Apple had this weird auto gain or ''dynamic tone mapping'' (from what was said) in that you'd get a boost or reduction of exposure when light was presented, particularly in low light situations. There was/is simply no way to disable this auto gain feature on iOS phones.
My question is, for those who know exactly what I'm referring to, does this happen on the Samsung S21 or Sony's new flagship 1 II+? To my knowledge Sony provides the sensors to Apple, but Apple writes their own infrastructure processing. I assume this problem doesn't exist on non Apple devices.
