Is it just me or has GPS reception gotten worse at least on my 15 Pro. I've been noticing this for months, when I'm in my car and I put my phone in between my legs or under my leg the reception drops and GPS becomes inaccurate, in Apple maps it thinks I'm on the next block or it stops updating as I'm driving. When I catch on and put the phone in the center console then it starts working.
Like yeah I get it don't put the phone under your leg you're blocking the signal, duh. But it's never been an issue before, I'm not fat now and my car hasn't changed, same tint I've had for years now.
Maybe it's the new dual frequency GPS? The 15 Pro is my first phone to support it. Maybe it's only picking up one of the two GPS frequencies when it's under my leg
You can use the Camera to take a pic upload it to ChatGPT and it will tell your what you're looking at and more about it. It hasn't worked for me but my settings may be messed up, I got all sorts of blockers enabled so maybe that's why or Siri sucks. I haven't really had any of this AI search shit work for me
btw did anyone notice the Samsung S24 looks EXACTLY like an iphone lollllllllllll
Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
I'm waiting for the iPhone version of the Z-flip.
I've got an SE 2020 (iPhone 8 sized) and really want a smaller phone, like the iPhone 5 size for carrying.
Version 2.0 takes a huge leap forward with support for ProRes RAW and genlock on iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, and Center Stage front camera on the new iPhone family
Final Cut Camera, available for free on the App Store, leverages the powerful camera system of iPhone to bring professional filmmaking tools into the hands of even more people. For professional or aspiring filmmakers, content creators, or journalists, Final Cut Camera allows further customization of video recordings with access to settings like white balance and manual focus. Final Cut Camera 2.0 builds on these features by introducing game-changing support for ProRes RAW and genlock on the all-new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The update also adds intuitive new manual adjustments for the Center Stage front camera available on the new iPhone family for complete creative control, as well as seamless integration with Live Multicam in Final Cut Pro for iPad.
Final Cut Camera 2.0 unlocks unprecedented recording capabilities on iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, the first smartphones capable of capturing ProRes RAW. This allows users to record pristine RAW data directly from the camera sensor for maximum creative freedom in post-production. The update also introduces open gate recording, which uses the full camera sensor to capture a wider field of view at resolutions greater than DCI 4K. This gives editors ultimate flexibility to reframe shots, stabilize footage, and set final aspect ratios, all without compromising image quality or performance.
ProRes RAW addresses the substantial technical demands of high-resolution video by unifying professional workflows with a single, industry-standard format that delivers RAW flexibility with the renowned performance of ProRes. By leveraging the dedicated Media Engine in Apple silicon, ProRes RAW achieves both faster exports and smaller, more flexible files than other RAW formats, delivering an unparalleled post-production experience. In the upcoming releases of Final Cut Pro 11.2 and Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.3, editors gain precise control over iPhone ProRes RAW footage, with direct adjustments for exposure, color temperature, tint, and demosaicing.
Final Cut Camera 2.0 also supports genlock, allowing creators to precisely synchronize iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max with other recording devices to the same reference signal, ensuring each frame is perfectly in sync. This technique lets creatives achieve professional, frame-accurate edits without hours of manual frame-by-frame alignment. Genlock API support is available to third parties and is already being used with the new Blackmagic Design Camera ProDock.
Leveraging the all-new Center Stage front camera available on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Final Cut Camera 2.0 also allows users to capture horizontal or vertical orientation without rotating their iPhone. The Center Stage front camera is the largest and first square front camera sensor on iPhone with a wider field of view and higher resolution.
Additional new features for Final Cut Camera 2.0 include:
Support for Apple Log 2, giving users the ability to record in an even wider color gamut in ProRes or HEVC with iPhone 17 Pro. Users can apply the Log 2 LUT in Final Cut Pro for iPad and Mac to view and edit their footage with the vibrancy of the original scene.
The ability to enable Timecode with options like Time of Day, Record Run, or external timecode for precise identification of footage during post-production.
Support for video capture using the new 200 mm Telephoto camera using ProRes up to 4K60 fps on iPhone 17 Pro for even more framing options.
Final Cut Camera 2.0 will be available later this month as a free download or update on the App Store. Final Cut Camera 2.0 requires iPhone Xs or later running iOS 18.6 or later, with some features requiring iOS 26 or iPhone 17 Pro.
not sure if I’ll upgrade or not. I want the camera stuff. But I also like the idea of having a phone paid off. Plus it’s probably about that time where I’ll have to get my kids phones and get extra raped on my plan.
I was going to stick with my 15 Pro but, these new Pros look really nice. Then I realized that since phone bill is paid by my company I can just trade my 15 Pro and get a 17 Pro 1TB for an extra $11/mo, which my company pays for.
Just picked up my watch and airpods from the Apple store. There's a long line out the door of the mall of people waiting to get something. Apparently people still don't pre-order and they just wait in line hoping to get something.
Anyways the Air is really light. If it didn't have so many compromises I'd get one. I guess it's the phone for rich moms.
Just got off the phone with T-Mobile, 830 off + 90 trade from my old 11 PRO MAX, 17 Pro Max 512gb on the way for 12 bucks a month!
I don't remember the last time I had a current phone, usually get last years (got the current 15 Pro MAX last year only to give my 13 PM to my Daughter, Wife will get the 15 PM & her 13 PM will be the backup.
Does anyone have experience with a case that will charge & connect magnetically to a car mount?

I love my peak design case and associated wireless qi2 charging car mount. The mounts come in a vent attached or adhesive option so choose what best fits your needs
