It’s not that Apple is going to broadcast F1. He is building the “iTunes of sports”

by

Apple has closed the rights to Formula 1 in the United States for five years and 750 million dollars. But looking only at the price is missing the pattern: it is building a vertical sports platform where it controls broadcasting, statistics, context and extra content. An ecosystem. The inventory. In less than three years, Apple has accumulated: Exclusive MLS Rights worldwide ($2.5 billion until 2033). F1 rights in the United StatesApple is accumulating broadcasting rights, launching its own apps and structuring a closed ecosystem against the traditional broadcast model from 2026 (150 million annually). AppleSportsfree app launched in February 2024 with real-time statistics. Sports integration in Apple News, Apple Maps, Apple Music and Fitness+. The model. Unlike MLS, where matches require a separate subscription, F1 will be included on Apple TV ($12.99 per month in the United States). The playoffs of the MLS have also become free for subscribers. Apple is keeping it simple: one payment, sports content included. F1 TV Premium, the competition’s own service that costs $16.99 per month, will be included at no extra cost for those who already pay for Apple TV. Between the lines. Apple is not seeking immediate profitability with sports rights. Seeks to anchor users to the ecosystem. Each broadcast supports Apple’s association with sport and can be an opportunity to sell more subscriptions to Fitness+ (there is F1 content that will be integrated there) or Apple One, or more Apple Watches ultimately. The strategy is the same as with Apple Music, TV+ (now ‘AppleTV‘) or iCloud: the content is the hook, the ecosystem is the business. Telefónica, DAZN and traditional broadcast companies now have to compete against those who can afford to lose money on rights because they earn elsewhere. The same thing that happened to Netflix when Amazon or Apple itself entered its business. He timing. The F1 movie, starring Brad Pitt and produced by Apple, has raised $629 million and has become the highest-grossing sports film in history. Apple has been working with F1 for three years. The rights agreement is not coincidental: it is the next phase of an already consolidated relationship. F1 has grown exponentially in the United States thanks to ‘Drive to Survive‘ from Netflix. Apple has detected the exact moment to enter: when the public is built but before the market becomes saturated. With Brad Pitt’s movie, Apple launched a huge marketing campaign disguised as a movie and validated its own products as suitable for the film industry. Yes, but. This model only works with great financial muscle. ESPN paid 85 million annually for F1. Apple has doubled the figure without blinking. Netflix has not shown great interest in live sports. Amazon bought the rights to the NFL and Ligue 1 at the time, but has not gone further. Apple is creating something different: a layer that wraps sports in its technology. The Apple Sports app does not currently include any of streamingbut it is a hub that will be able to direct traffic to Apple TV. The threat. If it works, Apple can bid for European rights: Premier, Champions, LaLiga… They have money, technology, brand and 2 billion active devices. The problem for traditional TVs is not just that Apple enters their market. It’s that you can afford not to make money from it for years while you build your platform.

Apple admits under his breath that Liquid Glass transparencies do not allow notifications to be seen: iOS 26.1 will solve it

by

It has already been a month since Apple released the final version of iOS 26. The last major update promised “the biggest redesign in years” and debuted the Liquid Glass interface with that obsession with transparencies that we already saw that It didn’t do many favors for the readability of the icons and notifications. It wasn’t just our thing. The next iOS update will bring a new option to minimize the problem. The problem of transparencies We can argue if it looks good or not, but what cannot be denied is that the texts do not read well, or at least they read worse than before. It happens with the icons and, above all, with the notifications. For example, an image of the first beta of iOS 26: With dark backgrounds the problem is not so serious, but it is still less readable than if the background of the notifications were opaque. In its day we already told you a trick to return to having a more opaque designbut now the solution comes from Apple. The solution arrives with iOS 26.1 They tell it in 9to5Macwhere they have downloaded iOS 26.1 beta 4, which will be the next major system update. In it, there is a new option to adjust the interface design to make it more opaque. It is found in the Screen and Brightness menu and allows us Choose between a transparent or opaque look. Click on the image to go to the post in X. In the images you can see the difference between both options and how the entire appearance changes. According to Apple: “Choose your preferred look for Liquid Glass. Clear is more transparent and lets you see the content underneath. Tinting increases opacity and adds more contrast.” They don’t say there is a readability problem directly, but the simple fact that they release this option is a way to recognize the criticisms. Having more customization options is always good news. Yes indeed, Apple could have given us the option to choose the intensity between the two options. By applying one of the two, it will affect the entire system and also the apps that have implemented Liquid Glass. At the moment there is no confirmed release date for iOS 26.1, but taking into account that there are already four beta versions, it is expected to arrive very soon. According to 9to5Mac, that could be at the end of this week. In Xataka | iOS 26: 19 functions and some tricks to get the most out of the new operating system for your iPhone

Apple hasn’t known what to do with them for two years

by

When I reviewed the Vision Pro more than a year agoI wrote that they were “incredible potential in an imperfect product.” Today Apple presented the Vision Pro with the new M5 chip and the feeling is the same, only more uncomfortable. The imperfection persists. The potential is still there. But something has changed: Apple seems to have lost faith in its own vision. This “second generation” is not a great evolution (it only changes the chip, minor details of the panels and a new optional tape), it is a tacit confession. When Apple updates a product by changing only the processor, it is sending a signal: This device is in maintenance mode. It’s not something eternal, sometimes it’s just a phase. It’s what they did with the Mac mini before redesigning it or with the AirPods before the Pro, but also with products that they keep alive without really investing in them. At some point new versions and real updates will arrive, but this stage is becoming entrenched. It’s been 28 months since the original advertisementin June 2023. Tim Cook spoke of the “beginning of a new era of spatial computing,” with grandiloquence reserved for historic moments. But this new era seems to have stayed stuck in its first act: Presence in nine countries, none new since summer 2024. Catalog of contents that advances at glacial speed. Immutable price: $3,500 plus taxes (4,000 euros including taxes in Germany). The big problem with the Vision Pro for Apple is twofold: He can’t kill them because it would be publicly admitting that he was wrong. He also can’t push them because he clearly doesn’t know how. Apple has plans for more mixed or augmented reality productsbut they will not arrive in the short term. and the result is this strange limbo. A product that receives enough updates to seem alive, but not enough to thrive. A pantomime of normality that poorly hides the internal perplexity. Apple’s own website prioritizes today’s two other launches on its cover (MacBook Pro, iPad Pro) and even iPhone 17 Pro Max announced five weeks ago. The space of the new Vision Pro is in a corner. Apple website in the United States after today’s triple announcement. The Vision Pro, relegated in priority. Image: Apple. The change from M2 to M5 chip provides half an hour more battery life and an additional 20 Hz to the refresh rate. They are marginal improvements that any iPhone receives every year. For a product that Apple presented as revolutionary, it is an implicit recognition that the revolution has stalled. The real problems—weight, social isolation, lack of clear use cases, price—remain intact. Apple is bandaiding a wound that requires surgery.

New Apple iPad Pro (2025), features, price and technical sheet

by

The new iPad Pro comes with the M5 chipthe most powerful processor that Apple has presented so far and the same one that powers the new MacBook Pro. The company has been bringing its most ambitious tablet closer to the realm of laptops for some time, but this time the distance is reduced more than ever. It’s not just a question of raw powerbut to what extent this device begins to behave like a complete computer, with a fluidity and possibilities that a few years ago seemed out of reach. The M5 leap doesn’t change what the iPad is, but it redefines what it can be. For years, the iPad occupied a middle ground between the mobile phone and the computer, closer to the former than the latter. Its operating system inherited a good part of the logic of the iPhone, and that inheritance marked its identity for a long time. However, with each generation, Apple has pushed the iPad to a different place: more powerful, more versatile and with more professional tools. The 2024 redesign and the arrival of iPadOS 26 consolidate that change. Now, the tablet not only runs apps, but manages windows, files and simultaneous tasks with a naturalness that was previously exclusive to a Mac. Technical sheet of the new iPad Pro (2025) iPad Pro (2025) M5 screen 11 and 13 inches Ultra Retina XDR OLED 2,420 x 1,668 pixels ProMotion (between 10 and 120 Hz) True Tone Anti-fingerprint oleophobic cover anti-reflective film Optional nano-textured display glass on 1 and 2 TB models 1,000 nits maximum SDR brightness Maximum XDR brightness of 1,000 nits full screen and 1,600 nits peak (HDR only) 1 nit minimum brightness Contrast of 2,000,000:1 Compatible with Apple Pencil Pro Compatible with Apple Pencil (USB‑C) Apple Pencil floating pointer processor Apple Silicon M5 Models with 256 or 512 GB capacity: 9-core CPU (3 performance and 6 efficiency) 10 core GPU Neural Accelerators Hardware Accelerated Ray Tracing 16-core Neural Engine 153 GB/s memory bandwidth 12GB RAM Models with 1 or 2 TB capacity: 10-core CPU (4 performance and 6 efficiency) 10 core GPU Neural Accelerators Hardware Accelerated Ray Tracing 16-core Neural Engine 153 GB/s memory bandwidth 16GB RAM RAM 12 GB for models with 256 or 512 GB capacity 16 GB for models with 1 or 2 TB capacity storage 256GB 512GB 1TB 2TB rear camera 12MP f/1.8 aperture 5x digital zoom LiDAR front camera 12MP, f/2.0 TrueDepth Centered frame battery Up to 10 hours of internet browsing via Wi-Fi or video playback operating system iPadOS 26 connectivity Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 6 Optional 5G connectivity others USB-C 4/Thunderbolt Four studio-quality speakers Face ID 5G model only with eSIM DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 11-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi Models 444g Wi-Fi + Cellular Models 446g 13-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi Models 579g Wi-Fi + Cellular Models 582g Colors Silver space black price From 1,099 euros A tablet that behaves like a laptop, but is still a tablet Apple promises that the new M5 chip multiplies the performance of the iPad Pro on virtually every front, from artificial intelligence to graphics. The figures are ambitious: 3.5 times more power in AI tasks than the previous model and up to 5.6 times compared to the M1. Beyond the numbers, the truth is that the M5 introduces a GPU with ray tracing third generation and a faster CPU, capable of moving video or 3D modeling projects with ease. Actual testing will tell how much that power translates into a tangible difference on a day-to-day basis. Apple has reinforced the connectivity of the iPad Pro with components already tested in other products. The C1X modem, the same one that debuted in the iPhone Air, offers a speed increase of up to 50% on mobile networks and more efficient consumption. Compatibility with 5G and eSIM is also maintained. Added to this is the new N1 chip, which adds WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread. There is no revolution, but there is a tangible improvement in stability and performance, something especially useful for those who use the iPad as a mobile work or creation tool. The new iPad Pro maintains the same design language that debuted the previous generation, but takes thinness to the limit: the 11-inch model measures only 0.53 cm thick and the 13-inch model drops to 0.51 cm. The Ultra Retina XDR display repeats OLED technology in tandem, with up to 1,600 nits of maximum brightness in HDR and a very precise contrast. Apple also offers an option with nanotextured glass to reduce reflections without altering the color. Compatibility with external monitors at 120 Hz and fast charging – 50% in about 30 minutes – complete a package that prioritizes the visual experience and portability. You may remember that iPadOS 26 was released in September 2025 and is available in a wide range of models, from the iPad A16 from entry to the most powerful Pro. Apple thus expanded the scope of its most ambitious system to date, with an update that completely redefined the way of working on a tablet. The new window manager allows you to move, overlay and resize apps with a freedom that until recently was unthinkable on iPadOS, while the Files app adds more detailed views and the option to set default apps for different types of documents. On the iPad Pro, everything makes more sense. Its hardware allows you to take better advantage of tools such as the Preview app, background tasks or the functions of Apple Intelligencewhich add real-time translation and automatic actions in several system apps. These are steps that bring it even closer to the experience of a computer, although the real usefulness of these developments will depend on the adoption by developers and the regional expansion of AI functions. The combination of iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard and external screen well summarizes the direction that Apple has been looking for for years: a tablet that works like a laptop, without losing its tactile essence. With the new window system and … Read more

Thousands of people have been drinking apple vinegar for years before eating to lose weight. The fault has an erroneous study

by

A couple of months ago, the last viral trend of social networks was taken on an empty stomach in the morning recently raised: the “morning sucks.” There were all kinds: apple vinegar, of grass Or even A tablespoon coconut oil. Everyone promises the same: flat bellies, express detox and accelerated metabolism. Under the appearance of natural remedy, the illusion of a quick solution was really sold. In particular, apple vinegar stands out as the biggest protagonist, since a study endorsed it, but it was a misinterpretation. The origin of the myth. We have always heard that phrase of “speaking people understand”, although quite simplistic it is that misunderstandings are the order of the day and in science they are usually given. To get to the origin of that study, the tracking takes you to a study published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health. This research became popular to ensure that apple vinegar helped lose weight. However, According to Sciencedailythat study has been retracted after detecting inconsistencies in data and serious errors in statistical analysis. In science, a retraction is an exceptional mechanism: it means recognizing that the results are not reliable and, therefore, that the study should no longer be cited as evidence. It is a guarantee of self -correction, but it is late when the finding has already traveled media and viral videos. The viralization of myth. The networks did the rest. Under hashtags like #guthealth or #morningritual, vinegar It settled In morning routines with other “shots” that promise express benefits: ginger, turmeric, teas detox. As we detail in Xatakathis phenomenon is understood in the framework of the culture of immediacy: we live at a time when rapid and visible results are sought. A morning drink fits perfectly with that promise of instant change. The problem is that neither vinegar nor any of these mixtures fulfill what they promise. And in some cases They can have adverse effects: Excessive consumption of fasting vinegar can irritate the stomach and esophagus, damage tooth enamel and cause digestive discomfort. More studies. Beyond the retracting study, there are research that has analyzed the effect of vinegar on metabolic health, although scientific evidence remains low. A systematic review, Posted in Pubmed Central in 2021evaluated clinical trials on this product. According to this work, vinegar can have modest effects on the reduction of blood glucose and total cholesterol. But the same review warns: there is no solid evidence that it causes clinically relevant weight losses. In other words: vinegar is not a burning, much less a magical solution to lose weight. The mirage of detox. The rise of these “morning shots” also relies on the language of the detox. However, experts Remember that Detoxification does not work like this: the body already has organs such as the liver and the kidneys that fulfill that function continuously. Chupitos do not “clean” the organism, but they do perpetuate the idea that there are miraculous shortcuts to compensate for excesses. An even greater paradigm. The history of apple vinegar is, in the background, a lesson on how health myths are built in the digital age. A study with methodological errors, amplified on social networks, became a global ritual. And although today we know that there was no evidence behind, the practice was already installed in millions of morning routines. The lesson is clear: easy solutions are rarely, and health is not built with shortcuts. Image | Freepik and Pexels Xataka | There are people taking a “sucking” apple vinegar in the morning.

Apple has become a boring company. We ask ourselves who will inherit your throne: Crossover 1×24

by

Apple It’s a lot of Apple. Or it was, because in recent times it seems to be staying behind. The company’s products no longer generate the expectation of the past, and their apparent problems with AI They open an unknown: Is Apple in danger of losing your reference position? In fact, that question takes us to another direct: if it is, what companies can this witness take? It is precisely what we debate In 1×24 crossoverthe last episode of the program in which Xataka and Gama Topes collaborate. In the debate, moderated by Jaume Lahoz, Miguel – of the range of range – and a server to start talking about the present and challenges that Apple faces in the short term participate: the maturity of the iPhone and the commitment to the services are key to that immediate future. But of course the fundamental part of the current situation is due to What is happening with AIa field in which Apple is adopting a curious attitude of Wait & see. It seems to be waiting to see what happens to, depending on how the market goes, react. It is a risky bet. That somewhat passive attitude makes other actors, can end up taking that leading role that Apple has always had in the field of technology. There are many candidates and we analyze them one by one: Google, Openai, Huawei, Tesla … the battle is served: will anyone be able to Inherit Apple’s throne? On YouTube | Crossover

Pre-cragpt voice attendees are dead. And Apple is the only one that has not yet gone to burial

by

This week has happened unusual in the war of voice attendees: Amazon and Google have presented their new domestic devices the same day. Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 on the one hand. Google Nest Cam, Nest Doorbell, Google Speaker and the renewed Google Home app on the other. Why is it important. Calendar coincidence, yes, but above all shared emergency symptom. Because it is not just speakers with better serious or screens with more pixels. These are two technological giants, simultaneously burying their classic assistants – Alexa and Google Assistant – to replace them with conversational versions driven by large language models. The context. The rules changed in November 2022. Since Chatgpt demonstrated what a real conversation means with iausers have learned that there is something better than asking a speaker to put music or activate a timer. These basic functions have become invisible. The microwave of technology: it is there, it works, nobody thinks of it. What has happened. Alexa+ and Gemini for Home promise natural conversations, complex automation created in voice, cameras that understand context and not only detect movement. “Amazon has left a package at the entrance” instead of “activity has been detected.” Context, no events. Intention, not rigid commands. But that future is priced: ten dollars a month in the basic plan, twenty in the complete. The hardware is only the entrance door to a recurring income model. Between the lines. The inference costs of language models are huge and someone has to pay them. The AI ​​becomes the new market segmentator: with it your product is Premium, without it it is a relic of the past. These presentations arrive after years of stagnation. Alexa and Google Assistant had been doing the same thing: Music, alarms, time questions. The narrative has exhausted. Users have stopped imagining what else could these cylinders do and we have silently assumed that they are for what they are, in the same way we do not ask the oven that tells us jokes, because it is for something else. The big question. Who will pay twenty dollars a month to use a speaker that mainly serves to ask time and reproduce Playlists? The problem is no longer technical. It is perception. Amazon and Google need us to see them otherwise, to set a new habit. Meanwhile, Apple continues with the classic Siri. Limited, frustrating, stuck. Has integrated chatgpt as a crutch for certain consultations, but His real advance has stuck and delayed. And above all, it is created for iPhone, iPad and Mac … but not for Homepod. At least for now. In summary. Expectations have already changed. Anyone who has used Chatgpt knows what a real conversation with AI means. Back to Siri after that feels like going back fifteen years. Pre-cragpt voice attendees are dead. Amazon and Google have certified their death this week. They have gone to the burial and have begun to build another tool. The question is no longer whether Apple will present your answer. It is yes, when you finally do it, someone will continue to wait for it. Or if we will be to other things.

Apple closed Intel years ago. Intel now wants to sneak into Apple with a clear argument: they are from the US

by

Intel is one of the most important companies in the technological sector and one of the heavyweights of integrated circuits. However, these last ten years, The company lost a third of its value. Intel’s decline is due, in part, to its inconsequential position in the mobile erawith ARM being the Winning bet of giants such as Microsoft or Apple. At that time, he lost one of his biggest clients: Apple. But history may have hit a turn with an unexpected reconciliation. And also very important for both parties. Intel wants Apple. The information comes from Bloombergmedium with journalists very close to Apple’s world and to which several anonymous sources have contacted these last hours to comment that Intel would have approached Apple with an objective: that those of Cupertino invest in them. They need it, and although it is nothing more than a rumor, the volatile market of shares has already given its opinion with a 6.4% rise after the medium report. Intel looking for money in Apple’s pockets is logical. His shares are around $ 30, while Apple’s move around $ 250, and getting such a large client would be a lifeguard. As were the 5,000 million dollars that Nvidia invested in Intel a few days agoturning the GPU giant and artificial intelligence into a holder of 4% of the actions of the semiconductor company. Apple needs Intel. Own Nvidia snatched Intel the crown If being the most valuable chips manufacturer in the world, but in that scenario in which Intel needs money and customers of Apple’s caliber, Apple needs Intel for a very concrete reason: local manufacturing. In August, and in an agreement as controversial as it is unconventional, United States acquired 10% Intel. Because? Because it is an American company, one of the most important functions and the current United States government is promoting that its technology to manufacture within its borders, leaving China or India. The previous executive, With the Chips law, he already gave huge incentives for this. With the current one, the incentive for companies is not to cold tariffs. And that is where Intel can be tremendously valuable for Apple. It does not go from processors. For a long time, the two companies seemed inseparable. Intel provided some of his best processors to Apple, as well as some internal components of the iPhone. However, things began to twist when Apple, looking for greater control over the manufacturing process of its devices, sought components on other sides, began to Design your own processors Based on ARM (Humbing Intel along the way) and even bought Intel’s modems business for 1,000 million dollars. First time the government intervened in a company from the rescue of the automobile industry In the 2008 crisis. But this agreement would not be for the manufacturer to supply pieces to those of the apple, at least, Bloomberg points out: the real interest is the commented: that An Apple that depends on TSMC To manufacture numerous components of SIS different families of devices go to manufacture them on American soil in Intel factories. Intel as touchstone. Neither Apple nor Intel have made statements, but a few days ago, Tim Cook commented that they would love to see Intel return to the business and there are many cross investments in this story. Apart from 10% purchased by the US and the 5,000 million NVIDIA, another company that has recently invested in Intel is Softbank, a Japanese giant who wants to expand in the US and It has arrived with 2,000 million for Intel. For its part, Apple advertisement which has 600,000 million to invest in national initiatives over the next four years. And that is where Intel could fit perfectly into that piece of the puzzle that is currently the semiconductor business, the companies that manufacture in China, India or Taiwan and the US demands to manufacture in local territory. It only remains to be waiting to see if all these lifeguards get Intel to recover his ancient glory. It will not be easybut we will be here to tell if the story changes … or if the great disaster of 2011 is repeatedsince its archirrival, TSMC also has great plans for the United States.

The first, a resounding ‘yes’ to orange. The second, Apple has been treading strong

by

A curious fact: each and every one of the mobiles that I have bought throughout my life have been black. All, if exception. More matte, more Glossymore curved or more flat, all blacks. And it is curious, because at no time have I thought about changing it. Today I write this from London, just a few hours after having tried the iPhone 17 Pro First hand in Apple’s central offices, with an idea that does not stop around my head: how beautiful the orange is, how good the new flagship of Apple has and, above all, how much you have to demonstrate. While the analysis arrives, here is a contact. It is much more beautiful in person than in the photos | Image: Xataka Orange: Yes. Although having a matte black available, I would surely think about it, we must recognize that Apple has done a sensational job with the “cosmic” orange. The firm has realized that the iPhone focused on the most professional public does not have to be boring and this touch of color stands out, much, on dark blue and silver. It also highlights that huge camera module, closer to what we see in some high -end Android mobiles than the previous iPhone Pro, and the double finished of the rear. Apple returns to aluminum For the unibody chassis, according to the company, thermal issues, but the rear, what we touch with the hand, is Ceramic Shield. The touch, as in the iPhone Airit is very, very pleasant and, in theory, this material should endure the scratches better. However, all this cares little if we are going to put a case. It is something more big than the previous model, enough to be noticed | Image: Xataka In hand. It feels very similar to iPhone 16 Pro I was wearing in his pocket. The dimensions are not very different and the weight is similar, although slightly greater and all cases: 0.4 millimeters higher and width, five more grams and, yes, half a thicker millimeter. It may seem little, but those 0.5 millimeters are noticed. The touch is also different because, well, we go from titanium to aluminum and Ceramic Shield, although it does not feel less premium. That Apple has well dominated. Speaking of design. One of the keys of the iPhone 17 pro is The steam chamber. This is something that we have already seen in some high -end Android terminals and that now reaches Apple’s models. The idea of ​​this system is to dissipate heat better and maintain sustained performance, but it has two challenges ahead. The first, to be up to summer. The second, be able to refrigerate the device when the user puts an case. Now imagine matte black | Image: Xataka This will not only have an impact when we play or execute heavy tasks, but the cooling system will have to answer when we put the camera to work. If you usually record video with the mobile in 4K you will perfectly know how it heats up when you use it for a long time. This camera sees better and further … Although we have not had the opportunity to try the camera as we do in an analysis, we have been able to struggle with it to see what we can expect. On the one hand, Apple has mounted a 48 megapixel sensor under all the lenses, something that will sit in fear of telephoto. We can make four increases optical zoom and up to eight increases with “optical quality”, as well as digital zoom of up to 40 increases, 25 if we talk about zoom in video. Photo taken with the wide angle (x0.5) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with the angular (x1, automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X2 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X4 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X8 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X40 (automatic) | Image: Xataka The result is good, within that the light was the one that was, although when carrying the zoom we will see the seams. Anyway, this is something that we will investigate more during the analysis. … but it’s not the most powerful zoom. Be that as it may, and although the camera points ways, it is no secret that other brands such as Alive, Oppo, Samsung, Google either Xiaomi Zoom systems with more scope are already set up, up to 200 increases in some cases. Here not only the camera comes into play, but the processing that applies the ISP of the processor. Each brand adopts a different approach and Apple has preferred to be more conservative. Personally, I doubt that no one misses having more digital increases, especially if the final result falls into an AI system that artificially recovers the details causing, in some cases, unwanted artifacts. Anyway, and as we pointed before, we will see it more detail when we can try this camera thoroughly. Image | Xataka The square sensor. This does seem absolutely disruptive and that is available throughout the iPhone 17 series seems to me a success. The cameras sensors are 4: 3, that is, slightly rectangular. That is why to get a horizontal selfie you have to rotate the phone. The inner chamber sensor of the new iPhone is squarewhich allows you to take photos or record video horizontally holding the phone vertical. It works at a thousand wonders and surely let’s not see it becoming a standard of the high Android range. The same as always. The iPhone 17 Pro is a expensive phone and, as such, it is normal to ask if it really is worth it. The answer will depend on the profile and why we use the terminal.
