Apple released its new iPhone 12 yesterday and it is said that it could help change filmmaking in a big positive way. The newly announced iPhone 12 includes tools that filmmakers used to buy at tens of thousands of dollars.
Since the pandemic started, film industries shifted to more remote methods of working. These methods might just be on their way to acceleration from production to post and VFX.
On Tuesday, Apple announced the iPhone 12, the first iPhone with 5G capabilities, and a list of new features. The iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max were unwrapped with capabilities from Dolby Vision support to an integrated Lidar scanner. It’s new still and video camera system was introduced with a wider view, longer focal lengths, and a new Apple ProRaw format.
‘’Traditional filmmaking workflows will change dramatically. This is because 5G access will begin to eliminate the need for shuttle drives for sound and picture media.’’ suggests Michael Cioni a senior VP innovation at Frame io.
Special effects for films;
The new iPhone has visual effects artists dream of. It possesses Lidar, HDR, and many other camera improvements. Previously, doing all these things would require going to movie sets and using different equipment that would be very expensive. The thought that one has them all combined in their pocket with such processing power and a rocket speed connection is a bit futuristic for 2020.
Some of these technologies like 5G in particular have been ‘overhyped’ but there is potential for that to change. Filmmakers will have a feast, now that there is a single device with all these technologies embedded. The realization that we can do more than ever before will start. One will be able to take them all together, in context, and experience real value.
iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max will be available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. The starting price will be $999 and $1099 respectively.
The production line also includes the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini which will start at $799 and $699 respectively.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
