**Here’s what you should know about Apple’s recent initiative with the iPhone 17 Pro**
Apple generated excitement this year with the camera lenses on the iPhone 17 Pro. While the company consistently highlights enhancements with every significant release through music video snippets and more, it is now elevating the iPhone’s role by enabling it as a dependable tool during an official TV broadcast, aided by an iPad using Blackmagic Camera for real-time exposure and white balance adjustments.
This Friday, these iPhones will gather live footage from four spots within Fenway Park, such as the Red Sox bullpen, the home dugout, and on top of the Green Monster. During last week’s game, the company reported that the iPhone 17 Pro Max accounted for approximately 12 cuts in the broadcast.
As the fourth season of Major League Baseball on Apple TV+ nears its conclusion, Apple reiterates that Friday Night Baseball offers a weekly doubleheader to TV+ subscribers in 60 countries and regions, featuring enhanced production, expert analysis, and no local broadcast limitations. The Friday night game between the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox kicks off at 7:10 p.m. ET.
