Like many photographers, musicians and gadget nerds before me, I suffer from a terrible case of GAS.
No, not that gas — Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Part meme, part psychological impulse, GAS is a compulsion to buy shiny new things, rooted partially in a desire to improve creatively without doing much work. And since I’ve been testing Apple’s new iPhone 15 Pro Max — which the company has described as an unusually capable tool for filmmakers — I couldn’t help but wonder how far this shiny new smartphone could help me stretch my (amateurish) video skills.
