Last night, the iPhone 17 Pro was used to broadcast a Major League Baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, marking a first in iPhone history.
The game aired on Apple TV+ as part of the Friday Night Baseball series. The Tigers faced a critical moment in their season, having lost a significant lead over the Cleveland Guardians.
The iPhone 17 Pro served as a broadcast quality camera, capturing live gameplay and various moments around the ballpark. According to Apple, the device showcased its capabilities in a professional sports broadcast for the first time.
“The iPhone 17 Pro captured live gameplay along with ballpark moments such as batting practice, player introductions, dugout angles, and fan atmosphere.”
