When using an array of cameras, Genlock enables advanced filmmaking tools and techniques like time-splicing, or “bullet time” which allows filmmakers to change the audience’s perspective while freezing time. Genlock is supported via the new Blackmagic Camera ProDock, and we have APIs available for others as well. We’re thrilled to bring these advanced filmmaking tools to iPhone, making them more affordable and approachable. iPhone 17 Pro truly sets a new standard. And to complete the experience, we’ve also designed a range of new accessories. We’re introducing our TechWoven Case, with a new, innovative material. This woven textile is crafted with a technical process that uses multiple yarn colors to create a sophisticated look, while a protective coating provides resistance to scratches and stains. We also have clear cases, as well as a great selection of colors in silicone.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:07:15
Whether using multiple cameras or onscreen graphics, Genlock allows for accurate and professional-looking transitions without hours of manual frame-by-frame alignment.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:07:02
This year, we’re bringing some of our most requested Pro video features, allowing iPhone to integrate even more seamlessly into the largest, and smallest, of productions. We’re adding support for ProRes RAW capture, which is the industry-leading Apple-developed video codec that records all of the information captured by the camera’s sensor to provide unparalleled flexibility in post-production. It is ideal for high dynamic range video, and since we introduced it, it has become the industry standard for productions requiring the highest level of control and quality. ProRes RAW capture is supported by Final Cut Camera and Blackmagic Camera, and APIs are available for other developers. We’re also adding support for Genlock, which enables super precise video synchronization. It is particularly useful for content creators and streamers.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:06:43
Those photos are absolutely beautiful! Now, let’s talk about video. Our Pro models already lead the way in smartphone video. To match our quality, format support, and seamless integration in professional workflows, you’d have to look to dedicated pro camera systems. No other smartphone comes close. We're even filming this event with iPhone 17 Pro. How cool is that? Amazing Pro features like Dolby Vision HDR, 4K120, ProRes Log, and support for ACES have been loved by filmmakers, who also love how iPhone allows them to be closer to their subjects, more intimate, more nimble, and more flexible.

We put iPhone 17 Pro in the hands of some world-class photographers. Let’s take a look at some of the fantastic images they captured.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:05:26

iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:05:17
It’s perfect for nature photography, freezing motion, and capturing stunning detail. With the additional 8x 200 mm lens, we can get closer still, with a beatiful depth of field. And, like the 2x Telephoto, the 8x also utilizes the updated Photonic Engine, which integrates machine learning into even more parts of the image pipeline. We apply deep learning models for demosaicing, which constructs the image from the raw output using the quad-pixels in the imaging sensors. This preserves natural detail, reduces noise, and results in significantly improved color accuracy, especially in low light. And now, the digital zoom is up to 40x for photos! With the new 48MP Fusion Telephoto camera system, iPhone 17 Pro has the equivalent of eight Pro lenses in your pocket!
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:04:51
The extended plateau on iPhone 17 Pro is also designed to house an all-new 48MP Fusion Telephoto camera. It offers a 4x zoom at 100 mm, and a far-reaching 8x zoom at 200 mm, our longest optical-quality zoom ever! iPhone 17 Pro has our next generation tetraprism telephoto, with an improved 3D sensor shift image stabilization system. This was necessary because it features a sensor that is 56% larger than the previous generation, which improves sharpness in bright light, and provides better detail across all light levels. The new telephoto camera provides a longer reach and gives more creative choice. The 4x at 100 mm is a classic lens for portraiture, providing a flattering perspective, and new options for framing.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:04:33
iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max feature the best camera system we’ve ever made, with high-resolution sensors on each camera! On the front, we have the 18MP Center Stage camera, our innovative new front camera system. The wider field of view and higher resolution are particularly useful when recording yourself speaking directly to camera, making our Pro models the absolute best choice for content creators. On the rear, all three cameras are 48MP for the very first time. And not only are the sensors 48MP, but all three are Fusion cameras. We have updated the imaging pipelines for better resolving power. That means you’ll get more detailed images at every zoom range and light level.

Next, let’s talk about the Pro camera system, which combines incredible hardware with advanced computational photography to capture beautiful photos and videos. The iPhone 17 Pro camera system gets even more powerful and versatile. To tell you about it, here’s Patrick.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:01:39
For our eSIM-only models, we took advantage of the space formerly occupied by the physical SIM to grow the battery even more to provide an additional two hours of video playback per charge, enabling up to an astonishing 39 hours of video playback.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:01:29
The glass on the back is even better protected by the aluminum unibody design. In fact, it is no longer glass at all. Like iPhone Air, we’re now using Ceramic Shield for the back. This provides exceptional strength. The Ceramic Shield back is four times more resistant to cracks than our previous back glass, and in a thinner profile, creating more room for the battery. On the front, the gorgeous display is protected by the incredible new Ceramic Shield 2, providing industry-leading protection with three times better scratch resistance than the previous generation. And the new seven-layer anti-reflective coating reduces glare and distractions, making the display more readable in bright lighting conditions, both indoors and outdoors. All of these design decisions made it possible to grow the battery significantly, resulting in the iPhone 17 Pro Max achieving the best battery life ever in an iPhone.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 11:00:40
This new design not only delivers exceptional performance but also builds upon iPhone’s industry-leading durability.

A key element of the design is the forged plateau, which efficiently dissipates heat and creates extra space for components, making room for a larger battery.
And by integrating the antennas around the perimeter of the plateau, it helped create the highest-performing antenna system ever in an iPhone. So, every aspect of this design is engineered to maximize performance and unlock the full potential of the extraordinary A19 Pro.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:59:55
The vapor chamber directs heat strategically through the system, where it is efficiently dissipated and released by the forged aluminum unibody. We used an Apple-designed aerospace-grade aluminum alloy for its superior thermal conductivity, which is 20 times greater than the titanium we previously used. This proprietary alloy is also significantly lighter. As a result, it was the perfect choice for achieving this new design while delivering outstanding thermal performance in a product that remains comfortable to hold and use. And, the aluminum is anodized in three stunning finishes, a Refined Silver, an elegant Deep Blue, and the bold and eye-catching Cosmic Orange.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:59:44
De-ionized water is sealed inside the vapor chamber, which is laser-welded into the aluminum chassis. This efficiently moves heat away from the components, allowing for higher sustained performance.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:59:27
The iPhone 17 Pro design is more than just a fresh, bold new look. It also delivers a dramatic leap in performance that makes this the most powerful iPhone ever, by far. And it starts with an entirely new approach to thermal management, which is critical to system performance. We meticulously manage power and surface temperature to make sure iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max always deliver exceptional performance, while remaining comfortable to hold. At the heart of the new thermal management system is an Apple-designed vapor chamber.

Ceramic Shield, our thoughest glass ceramic formulation, now protects the back as well as the front
designed to resist whatever life throws at it.
The new definition of Pro.
iPhone 17 Pro.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:56:55
Designed for the biggest battery in any iPhone.
The full-width camera plateau elegantly integrates the antenna and encases a new Pro camera system with breathtaking range and resolution. Core to the unmatched performance is the most powerful chip made for iPhone. But this much power generates heat, so we designed a completely new thermal system to dissipate heat rapidly throughout the aluminum unibody.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:56:39
We set out to redefine the Pro, driven by performance, durability, and capability.
So, we started again. From solid aluminum. With a custom extrusion that’s heated and forged, then precision machined in thousands of finer and finer passes.
Travelling through successive anodizing baths, we built the colorful and durable oxide outer layer
to create our first iPhone unibody. A light, thermally efficient and rigid enclosure.

iPhone Air is a total game changer. It’s designed for customers who want pro performance in an unbelievably thin and light design. And with iPhone Air in the lineup, we were able to take our two Pro models to an entirely new level of performance and capabilities. So our goal was simple - to build the most Pro iPhone yet, by a lot. We started from scratch and rebuilt it from the inside out. Introducing iPhone 17 Pro.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:54:55
All this in a new design that frankly seems impossible, and we can’t wait for you to experience it. Now, back to Tim.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:54:10
We also designed two custom cases for iPhone Air. The first is a translucent case with a back panel that is less than 1 mm thin, designed to provide great drop protection, available in Frost and Shadow. The second is a lightweight bumper, made from a reinforced polycarbonate. It perfectly frames iPhone Air, and is available in four matching colors. Both options can be paired with the new Crossbody Strap. It’s lined with thin, flexible magnets, designed to hold the straps together and allow you to easily adjust the length. So that’s the incredibly advanced iPhone Air. Our thinnest iPhone ever, with pro performance inside. Incredible durability, amazing camera systems on both front and back, and our latest Apple-designed chips built for efficiency to deliver fantastic all-day battery life.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:53:49
We’re also introducing a new ecosystem of accessories to complement this unique iPhone design. Thanks to the incredible thinness of iPhone Air, we were able to create a new low-profile MagSafe Battery that when attached feels great in your hand and is slim enough to drop right in your pocket. When using them together, iPhone Air has up to 40 hours of video playback! That's enough to binge on all 40 episodes of For All Mankind, making it a great accessory for long trips.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:53:38
This is incredible, all-day battery life in our thinnest iPhone ever.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:53:27
So now let’s talk about battery life. We innovated in both hardware and software to deliver great battery life for iPhone Air, powered by our most advanced Apple silicon, built for efficiency. The internal design has been completely rethought to maximize battery space. And iOS 26 introduces new power-saving features, like Adaptive Power Mode, which learns your usage patterns and anticipates when you might run low on battery, intelligently conserving power to help you make it through the day. Now despite being much thinner and lighter, iPhone Air still gets amazing all-day battery life.

And there is so much more to these camera systems, like Action Mode, Audio Mix, 4K Dolby Vision, and all the features of Camera Control. There is another important innovation that helped bring iPhone Air to life, and that is eSIM. We pioneered eSIM years ago and now it’s an industry standard. And compared to that decades-old piece of plastic, eSIM is so much easier to use, has better security, and saves precious space inside iPhone. eSIM is also great for travel. Carriers have many affordable and convenient roaming plans. If you want to use a local plan, it’s easy to set up an eSIM from the comfort of your home or while on the road, there is no need to change physical SIM cards, and you can have data from the moment you land at your destination. eSIM coverage is available globally, thanks to extensive planning and testing with our carrier partners. Because of this, we designed iPhone Air to be eSIM-only worldwide, maximizing internal space for battery size.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:51:09
And we are introducing a brand-new feature that combines the front and rear cameras. Dual Capture video is perfect to record yourself while at a concert, or your reaction to the game’s big play. The new stabilization from the Center Stage front camera keeps you in frame, while the Fusion Main camera on the back gives you flexibility to zoom in to the story you want to tell.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:51:03
On the front, we have our new and innovative Center Stage camera. You don’t need to rotate your phone anymore to take a landscape selfie. Center Stage for photos perfectly frames everyone in either orientation.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:50:47
The large sensor enables a second optical-quality lens, the integrated 2x Telephoto, delivering stunning photos and 4K videos. With the power of computational photography, this incredible system enables the latest signature features of the iPhone camera, like 24MP default photos, capturing here the fine texture of her dress and even nuances in the shadows, next-generation portraits with Focus control, which works on any subject, like these delicious waffles, or the latest generation of Photographic Styles, which features the new Bright style, that brightens skin tones and applies a pop of vibrance across the image. And the custom 28 and 35 mm lenses give users more flexibility to frame their shot, for a total of four lenses in your pocket.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:50:34
The camera system in iPhone Air delivers the most popular features that make iPhone the world’s favorite camera. What might appear to be a single camera is actually our new powerful 48MP Fusion camera system, which works like multiple advanced cameras in one. You can shoot breathtaking 48MP photos, capturing even the small trees across the valley and the deep color range on the stone wall. And the 2x Telephoto has an updated Photonic Engine, which now uses machine learning to capture the lifelike details of her hair, and the vibrant color of her jacket.

We introduced C1 last spring and in just six months, we already have a new version that is faster and more efficient. The new C1X is up to two times faster when compared to C1. It is even faster than the modem in iPhone 16 Pro and uses 30% less energy overall, making it the most power-efficient modem in an iPhone. In fact, iPhone Air is the most power-efficient iPhone we have ever made. We started building Apple silicon to enable us to create better products, and iPhone Air is the realization of that goal. Back to John.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:47:42
Another area of innovation for Apple silicon is wireless connectivity. For years, we have been building Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips for Apple Watch and AirPods. And now this is coming to iPhone for the first time. Introducing N1, our Apple-designed chip, which enables the latest wireless technologies, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, while improving overall performance and reliability in key areas like Personal Hotspot and AirDrop. Finally, a critical innovation that makes iPhone Air possible is our Apple-designed modem.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:47:19
The result is a CPU that’s even faster and more efficient than A19. Our GPU also gets a big upgrade in A19 Pro. We are introducing the second generation of our Dynamic Caching architecture, we doubled our 16-bit floating-point math rates, and we built a new unified image compression. And that’s not all, the other major update to our GPU is around AI.
We have been at the forefront of AI acceleration since we first introduced the Neural Engine eight years ago. We later brought machine learning accelerators to our CPUs. And while our GPU has always been great at AI compute, we’re now taking a big step forward building Neural Accelerators into each GPU core, delivering up to three times the peak GPU compute of A18 Pro.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:47:02
With Apple silicon, our focus is to maximize performance and efficiency so we can drive innovation in our products. iPhone Air demands the most efficient high-performance chip we’ve ever built for iPhone. And that is A19 Pro. With the CPU, we continue to push on single-threaded performance and efficiency. Our performance cores gain improvements to front-end bandwidth and branch prediction, making A19 Pro the fastest CPU in any smartphone. And we increased the last-level cache of our efficiency cores by 50%, specifically aimed at improving energy efficiency for the things you do every day.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:46:49
The frame of iPhone Air is made of titanium. This is an essential material choice for such a thin design, and enables it to exceed our stringent bend strength requirements. All together, these materials make iPhone Air more durable than any previous iPhone. We are also using 80% recycled titanium, the highest ever for iPhone. There are four stunning colors to choose from: Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold, and Sky Blue. iPhone Air has such an unique design, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Apple silicon.

And thinner borders allowed us to grow the screen area without changing the case size. The result is the largest display ever in an Apple Watch. It can also refresh more frequently in Always-On mode without affecting battery life. Which means you can now see ticking seconds in watch faces including a new face, Waypoint, that dynamically shows points of interests in relation to you. For athletes, the Workout app makes it faster to customize views and use Workout Buddy, a generative voice with Apple Intelligence that delivers personalized feedback to motivate you during your workout.

Finally, for those moments when you don’t have your AirPods handy, you’ll be able to play media, like music or podcasts, directly through the speaker. Even with all these great new features, the power-efficient S10 chip enables SE to still get all-day, 18-hour battery life. And for the first time, SE supports fast charging, making it easy to quickly top off the battery. It now charges up to two times faster than the previous model. In just 15 minutes of charging, it can add up to eight hours of normal use.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:25:13
Apple Watch SE delivers the core features and benefits of Apple Watch at the most affordable price. For many people, it’s the perfect way to get started. This year we are delighted to introduce Apple Watch SE 3. First, it gets our most powerful Apple Watch chip, S10, which enables even more features.

Now we’ll help you understand the quality of your sleep and how to make it more restorative with sleep score. The quality of your sleep is influenced by several factors, such as sleep duration, bedtime consistency, how often you wake up, and the time spent in each sleep stage. Sleep score analyzes these factors each night and provides a classification, plus a score. You’ll see how the score is calculated, so it's easy to understand what you can do to improve. Guidance from leading experts, including the World Sleep Society, underpins the scoring approach. And over five million nights of sleep data from the Apple Heart and Movement Study were used to develop and test the scoring algorithms. You can see details in the Sleep app and you can track it over time in the Health app on iPhone. Now, back to Stan.
iClarified - 2025-09-09 10:22:12
The algorithm works in the background, reviewing data over 30-day periods, and will notify you if it identifies patterns of hypertension. We developed this novel approach using advanced machine learning methods and a series of studies totaling over 100,000 participants. While it won't detect all instances of hypertension, we expect to notify over one million people with undiagnosed hypertension in the first year alone, empowering them to make lifesaving behavioral changes or start treatment. We expect clearance from the FDA and other regulators soon, with availability in 150 countries and regions this month, including the U.S. and Europe. Now, let’s talk about sleep, which is critical to daily restoration of your body and mind, and is also an important factor in your longevity. Apple Watch already helps you meet your sleep goals, gain insights, and discover possible sleep apnea.

Heart health has always been integral to Apple Watch. This year, we’re thrilled to share our next advancement focused on a problem of massive proportions, high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It impacts approximately 1.3 billion adults worldwide. The American Heart Association has referred to it as a silent killer because it often occurs with no obvious symptoms. To help, we've developed a groundbreaking feature that can alert you to possible hypertension, just by wearing your Apple Watch. Using data from the optical heart sensor, the algorithm looks for chronic high blood pressure by analyzing how your blood vessels respond to beats of the heart

Because people’s ears are completely different shapes and sizes, we analyzed more than ten thousand 3D ear scans along with over one hundred thousand hours of user research, to optimize the new AirPods Pro. To fit even more people, we made each AirPod smaller. And to make them fit more securely in your ear, we shaped the design to match the natural geometry of the ear canal. With entirely new ear tips, now in five sizes, all together these are the most stable and best-fitting AirPods ever, engineered to stay in your ears even during the most intense workouts.
