The funny part is I would not want to shoot a professional film with a phone. How would I recharge it? Dedicated cameras offer pop-out batteries and storage. iPhone won't let you do that.

Magsafe batteries make it pretty easy actually

Wasn't that part of the selling point of USB-C. Hook it right up to whatever other equipment to offload video as you shoot, hook up external batteries that can be swapped out whenever mid-shot. How is swapping a USB-C battery back any different than a pop-out battery, other than having a cable?

It’s not “professional high-end cameras are going to die”. It’s “you can have a wonderful camera in your pocket”. > How would I recharge it?

  I read the article, they used a lot of adapters. Does that fit in your pocket? I think you miss my point. There's fancy tech but really nothing new, therefore it's all marketing. GoPro can be used for movie magic, as well, and it fits on a helmet. I've edited on reel-to-reel film once, so I've seen the digital evolution. It's been great! Also, my other point is Apple will keep designing it as a multi-use touch device, so it won't EVER be a dedicated device for movie making. When will the device be antiquated? When will the apps and OS need updating? When you use it, is there telemetry?
