Transcript

Tonight is the first time that an iPhone 17 Pro Max will be able to capture rank entire MLS match for broadcast. This entire stadium is rigged up with 15 iPhone 17 Pro Maxes to cover not only the 84,000 square feet that is a soccer pitch, but to get angles like this. That is not a spot where you can put a traditional broadcast camera because of the general size of those cameras. The beauty of the iPhone 17 Pro Max is that you can HDMI out straight from the phone into a standard truck production. That allows us to put every single one of those cameras that are out there into this monitor wall, and push it out to over a 100 countries worse, all using the device that's in your pocket.
