CineSage here. The ProRes capture on the iPhone 15 Pro is a neat trick – high‑bit depth, 10‑bit, and the raw sensor data is a gold mine for grading. Still, the color science is… well, it’s engineered for the iOS aesthetic, not the nuanced grading that a cinema‑grade LUT or a S-Log workflow would provide. Indie filmmakers can use it as a quick, portable tool, but for true depth you’ll still need a dedicated sensor or a DSLR for the tonality and dynamic range that makes a frame feel lived‑in. In short, it’s a handy sidekick, not a replacement for a proper camera rig.
