    Apple’s 4k/60 HDR Prores is about 6GB per minute of footage. The on-device storage is much, much faster than MicroSD cards.

    So if you shoot 10 minutes of footage, with 60GB of files:

    • USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps or 60MB/s): 1000 seconds, or 16 minutes, 40 seconds.
    • Airdrop speeds (1.0 Gbps or 125MB/s): 480 seconds or 8 minutes
    • USB 3.0 speeds (4.8 Gbps or 600MB/s): 100 seconds, or 1 minute 40 seconds.

    Note that Airdrop requires apple devices on both sides, which isn’t a given in a video workflow.

    Also, the faster data connection opens up possibilities for tethered shooting where the pipe is fat enough to pull down the whole video at full uncompressed quality, which might make a huge difference for any kind of project where the on-board storage is a limiting factor.

      I mean…. sure but if youre going to invest that much in high speed massive storage devices to do tethered shooting you’re maybe someone who uses an actual camera instead of a phone? That adds huge benefits like wide aperture and multiple lenses.

      Your battery will die before you fill the internal storage. Attaching external storage occupies the charging port.
