A historic first: a football match filmed entirely with the iPhone 17 Pro

On May 23rd, the Major League Soccer match between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo FC was entirely captured with an armada of iPhone 17 Pro cameras and broadcast live on Apple TV. A complete recording done exclusively with iPhone 17 Pro cameras. A historic first, following a trial conducted at the end of last year on a baseball game, which also included some traditional cameras. Here, Apple's smartphone was the exclusive capture device for this professional sporting event, a first of its kind. Unprecedented angles thanks to the smartphone's compact size. "The iPhone 17 Pro will record live footage throughout the match, including the teams' warm-ups on the field, player introductions, goal angles from inside the net, and the atmosphere inside the stadium," Apple stated prior to the match. Thanks to smartphones positioned throughout the event venue, the broadcast will offer the impeccable video quality that fans expect, as well as new dynamic perspectives that bring viewers closer to the action, made possible by the iPhone's small size.
