Behind the scenes: An Apple Event shot on iPhone

I'd love to see what they did to work around the framerate issues. iPhones record in variable framerate (they just encode one frame, once that's fully encoded read the next frame and repeat). This leads to fps varying by up to ±10%, which causes a lot of issues with most editing software.

That's why they used third party app to control ISO and shutter speed I presume

MKBHD says it was a camera app from BlackMagic. Their software Resolve is used in professional movies, but for some reason it's also available for free with some minor limitations. I've used it when I needed quickly combine some simple video clips and it was really intuitive use. Though the color grading and other advanced tabs looked scary to a noob :)

Even the BMD camera app — at least the version that's publicly available — can't work around those limitations. It still records footage in VFR.
