This is a real tech bonus to an otherwise compelling matchup considering that the Sox and floundering Tigers are fighting it out for wild card spots. I'll check it out.

Glad I won't be able to watch my Tigers lose another series since I'm not subscribed. The most monumental collapse in sports history. Absolutely pathetic. Thanks Apple TV for sparing me from another day of disappointment.
I'd prefer they not tell us when the footage is coming from the iPhone. Tell us immediately after and then show an instant replay. That might be more impressive to anyone considering a purchase based on the camera quality.
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.
I'd expect this to look pretty jarring compared to the typical broadcast camera I don't think you're going to need an overlay to tell that something is off... but we'll see.
Danny Boyle’s latest film, 28 Years Later, was largely shot on iPhone and is a critical and commercial hit.
They will be using four iPhones and it won't only be the dugout. Here is some more detailed coverage.
GO TIGERS!!!
Will watch accordingly on my Detroit Tigers Orange 17 Pro Max

They’re broadcasting at 1080P apparently. Anyone that can see a difference at THAT resolution has a special set of skills.
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.Good luck with the limitation of the zoom.
Looks like the new Black Magic Design iPhone thing. If so, then more than likely some Black Magic Design camera helper app.
A broadcast lipstick camera (small box camera that also does not zoom) would be cheaper.
All these will be used for is cut away shots.
Well... You do you, I suppose, but... Professional Marketer with 20 years of experience here. If I hire an agency to produce a high quality commercial or video of any sort for me, and they show up with a bunch of iPhones instead of pelican cases and a grip truck, I'm going to fire them on the spot regardless of if they're only using them for b-roll.
Every film production company on the planet is looking for investors, including via product placement. Is that news to you?
The fact of the matter is that Boyle’s film is a critical and financial success.
Yes, for some. It also highlights the direction the company is trying to take. With next year’s Variable aperture rumored along with the 48MP Ultra Wide stacked sensor and potential 200MP main sensor, many amateurs will be able to skip the DSLR and pick up a Pro phone:
