While yes, the shot on iPhone claims are a little questionable, the choice to film with smartphones makes perfect sense to me. Boyle's original 2002 film, 28 Days Later, was filmed using a digital camera (the Canon XL-1 to be precise), giving the cinematography a more grainy and authentic feel. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max boasts far superior visual specs, it's exciting that the more organic, guerilla-style filmmaking feel still lives on.
It's not the first film to boast the 'Shot on iPhone' badge (check out Tangerine for a prime example) but with a handsome $75 million budget naturally, a few eyebrows were raised.
In an article by Wired, it was revealed that 28 Years Later was filmed using adapted versions of the iPhone 15. I'm using the term 'adapted' lightly here, as leaked paparazzi set photos show the extent of the modifications - I promise there's an iPhone lurking somewhere under all that camera kit.
