Thanks to the iPhone’s great camera, smartphone photography and videography have become immensely popular in the past years – not only with general consumers, but also with enthusiasts and professionals that value great quality and convenience in a small package. In order to make the most of the iPhone’s camera, however, you need an app that lets you acess its full capabilities.

While the iTunes App Store is overflowing with photo and video apps that all claim to be the best choice for you, it’s not an easy task picking the one that actually fulfills your needs. While some may not offer enough functionality, others may come with too many options to wrap your head around, and not all apps are equally designed to be user friendly.

Kinomatic is a new videography app for the iPhone that promises not only to deliver pro-level video capturing and editing in the same app, but also claims to be easy to use. With a sleek interface that has been refined over a year with the help of filmmakers, journalists, and general users, Kinomatic offers a host of manual settings such as exposure, white balance, crop ratio, and more.

Clips that are shot in sequence can automatically be edited into a film, but the app also offers editing tools that include trimming and re-ordering of clips, adding and editing audio tracks, the adjustment of sound levels, adding titles, and more. Watch the promotional video below to get an impression of Kinomatic’s interface and capabilities.

Kinomatic runs on iPhone 4S and newer models, and requires iOS 7 to be installed on the device. It is available on iTunes at a regular price of $4, which has been lowered to $2 for a limited time as an introductory offer. For more, check out the Kinomatic website.

I tested the Pixel 6 Pro’s camera against the iPhone 13 Pro to see which is best
Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro in hand.

The iPhone 13 Pro may be Apple’s latest smartphone, but its camera isn’t a big upgrade over the iPhone 12 Pro. So where does that leave Apple when it competes with the newly released Google Pixel 6 Pro? The iPhone and the Pixel have long fought for camera supremacy, and if the 13 Pro can’t always best its predecessor, can it at least beat Google’s latest model? To find out, I took both phones out for a couple of days to take a selection of photos, and the outcome may come as a surprise to some.
Camera specs and testing procedure
Before we look at the photos, let’s check the specs of each camera. The Google Pixel 6 Pro has a 50-megapixel main camera joined by a 48MP telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom, plus a 12MP wide-angle camera. The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has three 12MP cameras, with the telephoto providing a 3x zoom, and the wide-angle camera a 120-degree field of view.

The iPhone 13 Pro has iOS 15.1 installed, and the Google Pixel 6 Pro has Android 12. All photos were taken back-to-back, and all I did was press the shutter button. Once the shots had been taken, I compared them all on a color-calibrated monitor. You’re seeing the original photos below, just slightly resized to make them more suitable for online use.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s great camera doesn’t make life easy for the iPhone 13 Pro
The iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S21 Ultra held in hand.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra has the best camera Samsung has made yet, and it remains one of our favorite camera phones. Its biggest rival for the crown of “best camera on a smartphone,” the Apple iPhone 12 Pro, has now been replaced in the range by the iPhone 13 Pro, making it essential to put the two cameras up against each other.

Samsung’s hard work paid off on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but will it now have to play catch-up to Apple’s newer iPhone? The 13 Pro’s camera has generated plenty of hype, but as you'll see, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is not only still a winner, it has the new iPhone beaten in several important areas.
The cameras and the test
All photos taken for this comparison were shot over the course of a single day, with all using the standard Photo mode on both phones, and without any editing afterward. Do be aware the photos have been resized to make them suitable for viewing online. Before they were resized, the photos were compared on a color-calibrated monitor.
