It's like a studio in my pocket: Young content creators explain their shift from professional cameras to iPhone

Young social media influencers are loving the new iPhone 16 Pro. They say it's changing how they make videos and photos for their followers.

"I've been using iPhone 16 Pro for some time now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the camera. As a content creator, it is definitely an upgrade for me. The new 4K 120 fps feature is a game changer. It lets me shoot stunning, high-quality content effortlessly without the need for a separate camera. It's everything I need," says Rida Tharana, who has 1 million followers.

Travel creator Aakansha Monga, with 1.1 million followers, really likes one special feature: "Camera Control on the iPhone 16 Pro has been such a blessing for me as a travel creator. When I'm out exploring, I don't always have time to dive into settings, and this feature lets me quickly adjust focus, exposure, and other key settings. It's been a lot of fun playing around with it. I've got some crazy shots in Patagonia & Namibia using this feature. It has made filming a lot easier and more convenient."

Srishti Garg and Shanaya Sardesai also say they no longer need expensive cameras. The phone does everything they need for their videos. They especially like how they can shoot high-quality slow-motion videos and edit them right on their phones.

The iPhone 16 Pro is becoming popular because it's easy to carry and works like a professional camera. Young creators say it helps them make better content without carrying lots of equipment.
