I plan to get into "macro video" using an iPhone cause I can shoot well below 1x, fill the frame with the subject. and take advantage of the depth at low mag.

Magic. Higher density of the pixels mean advantage in highly effective recording of diffraction.

I'm not sure, gotta get some experience with it. I won't be shooting actual macro, cause the sensor is so small it's gonna be easy to fill the frame with the subject at very low magnification. Probably won't be shooting greater that 1/3 life size, so diffraction won't be that big of a deal. The bigger problem is going to be  light quality.

FWIW: I see a lot of people arguing technical details, like the circle of confusion. But they don't understand how those details apply to actually taking photos, or video, because they have little or no experience. If they did then they'd realize that a lot of the things they make a big deal out of don't really make much of a difference...
