We all use iPhones and Androids, and they can do a lot—no doubt about it. But when you’re watching the latest blockbuster on Netflix or Disney+, remember: those stunning visuals weren’t created on a phone or tablet.
Behind every breathtaking 3D effect is a powerhouse workstation, often equipped with a GPU as expensive as a flagship smartphone. In fact, the machines behind Hollywood’s magic range from $4,000 to well over $20,000.
So next time you’re enjoying a movie with jaw-dropping effects, just know—it wasn’t made on a phone!
