Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro will capture live gameplay, along with batting practice, player introductions, dugout angles, and the crowd. Apple says this is the first time an iPhone will be used in a live professional sports broadcast workflow.

Viewers will see an overlay on the screen when the broadcast is showing iPhone footage.

Apple TV+ subscribers can watch the Red Sox vs. Tigers game at no extra cost, as part of the streaming service's final "Friday Night Baseball" doubleheader of MLB's 2025 regular season. The game begins at 7:10 p.m. Eastern Time tonight. The other game in this week's doubleheader is the Tampa Bay Rays vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name.

These things are annoying and clearly Apple-paid promotions. Sure you could use an iPhone for filming sports games, commercials, shows, etc., but no DP or camera operator worth his/her salt would opt for that when professional equipment is available.
Professional videographer here. I use an iPhone for b-roll footage. Not everything has to be shot with a high-end professional camera. No camera operator wants to lug 25lbs of gear around when they need something small & nimble.

Right tool for the right job.

At least the forecast isn't calling for rain, as broadcast cameras have these huge spinning filters on the front that sling rain and snow off of the front of the lens. Doubt such a thing exists for the iPhone yet
There are these things called umbrellas that are used to keep rain of things and people. They're light-weight, and can easily be carried in your hand. I think they could use one of these things to prevent rain from getting on the iPhone lens. :p

Good luck with the limitation of the zoom. :rolleyes: 🔍 📱⚾🧢
The article basically said they are using the iPhone only for some "easy" shots, or the crown, batting practice, and so on. Not real game shots.

I've been telling people for years that the Spinning Filter Rain Snow Slinger industry is a total racket and we should just use umbrellas.
