ProRes =/= raw. ProRes is apple’s proprietary lossless video codec. They shoot raw photos. AFAIK Apple has not made a raw codec, that’s mostly the purview of canon, black magic, red, etc
Alright, fair. Noted. Just because their marketing calls it ProRes RAW doesn’t mean it is true RAW. I didn’t look into it that much.
What I do know though and what my point was about is that it makes big files fast. Files of a type and scale you can’t effectively do anything useful with on an iPhone itself. So if you want to edit them (and why else would you shoot in that format?) then step 1 is that you want them off the phone and on a platform that can deal with them. And for that transfer speed matters.
Yes actually and that’s the upper limit of the iPhone’s data rate. You can do 1080 or even swap to ProRes proxy and it’s substantially less.
As for raw, let’s use red (4K @24fps) for example: you’d have to be shooting at 5:1 compression to get down to apple’s highest ProRes data rate. If you go with black magic’s raw codec, you’d have to go 4:1 on a bmpcc4k.

It’s all good I just point it out because raw codecs exist and eat a lot more space/have a lot more capability.
More than 6GB per minute in 4K? Because that already seemed like a lot.
