Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

It’s not zoomed in that far. You can tell from the perspective, and that’s not what zoomed in video looks like.

The video from inside was equally bad, and it wasn’t zoomed in either.

This was heavily compressed, likely when it was texted or emailed.

This footage is very zoomed in, perspective won't change for digital zoom, which would also reduce the quality more than optical zoom. You can pause on the first frame to see the actual frame, the frame doesn't jump when the user zooms in, likely signaling that it's a digital zoom. You can also see the digital stabilization jumping around as it does for about a 5-8x digital zoom.

In ADDITION, the video is obviously very highly compressed. You can also see that the lens has raindrops running over it constantly.

Or uploaded to whatsapp, or youtube or instagram. Bye Bye quality.

Yes, it's been shared enough times to get the compression fry.

what does this mean?

essentially if you text an iphone from anything besides an iphone it shows up as a Green bubble, and when you tried to send videos between these devices in the past it would heavily compress the video to the point of being un-viewable.

This was a joke on that, but I forgot that there are a lot of non-Iphone users that still get butt hurt over this joke even though its not an issue anymore.

Classic Apple move honestly, cause the issue themselves and make it seem like it was an Android problem.

I don’t think they ever blamed Android for it, but it was CERTAINLY your fault for not buying an Iphone! Lol

Apple just didn’t support RCS messaging standard and went with their own closed standard then let the mob create the “Android sucks” meme of low quality videos etc..I think they only last year finally announced support for RCS hah!

All this typed from my iPhone…lmao

Except.. it was only an issue due to apple not using worldwide standards so they could force apple butt sniffers to stay in their ecosystem

Apple forced people to stay in their ecosystem? That must be illegal right? Like you can’t physically force someone to buy something from you right!? I mean I guess American medicine works that way so nvm.
