Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 17, iPhone Air, New Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3

I actually think I prefer 4x optical at 48MP and 8x at 12MP. Previously the 5x was a bit of a jump that could be too tight.

The new sensor size is pretty exciting. Sensor size has a direct impact on image quality, especially in low light, and can help create more bokeh (background blur) in photos.

Now let us show you photos that have been edited by professionals with state of the art software.

I can't wait for YouTube tech videos "WE WERE WRONG" and it will go over how all the great features they promised are not good at all.

 

[tonie walker]

wow 8x not optical? who approved this

 

[Berek]

Is anyone actually taking those hipsters photos in real life with an iPhone?

no

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

'We're filming this event with iPhone 17 Pro!*'

*and $2 million of lighting and equipment

stupid rave music.

They go out of their way to put the most irritating repetitive noisy music in all these videos, and the volumes are all messed up with the quiet dialogue.

 

[Slash787]

ProRes RAAAWWWWWWWWW

 

[applepie2100]

Do they really expect us to believe that this thing was filmed entirely on iPhones?

 

[klasma]

So why this the new iPhone not iPhone 26? iPhone 17 with iOS 26? Does that make any sense?

20th anniversary iPhone

 

[CloudChief]

While 200mm is nice, it's achieved thru digital crop, not really 200mm but the field of view of 200mm - that's a bummer

Ahhhh no! are you sure?

 

[turbineseaplane]

They should just make an Apple Camera at this point.

It's ridiculous to try to jam all this into a "phone"

They definitely didn't use Aperture for it.

God I miss Aperture.

 

[Jeremy3292]

Lol so literally no black iphone pro? Jokes

 

[Apleeseed84]

Is anyone actually taking those hipsters photos in real life with an iPhone?

No, half the time we are trying to get the phone to focus

 

[fathergll]

Can we record 28 Years Later on this?

 

[mathiasinthe314]

Would really love to see more detailed battery life numbers and prices. Until then, I am reserving judgement.

ProRes RAAAWWWWWWWWW

Ooh baby I like it RAAAWWWWWW

 

[upthetoffees]

I have been watching these shows since the beginning and same for macs. It’s the end of an era, nothing to amaze, nothing to galvanise any creativity, nothing to make that hand itch towards using your credit card.

I think Tim knows this. He will stop soon I reckon.

 

[Lioness~]

They discontinued iPhone mini for low battery.
Now they release the iPhone Air with low battery, and the extra battery add-on.
Give me the new mini with backsack, dam#-it

 

[Slash787]

They are doing Black Magic now?

 

[alexandr]

reminds me of the old classic Sony walkman, yellow and black (grey?) color way from the 90's..

Yea? Not getting that vibe at all from this...

 

[fel10]

Please dont raise the price, please dont raise the price.

 

[delsoul]

I speak for everybody when I say....

If it's taking them this long to reveal the price while they yammer on about this and that feature, you know it's going to be overpriced.

Can we record 28 Years Later on this?

28 Centuries Later.
