Apple’s creator-centric iPhone 17 Pro will make the vlogging camera obsolete

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-10-09 10:18:25

Apple unveiled its new line of iPhones on Tuesday, and the iPhone 17 Pro is making a direct appeal to content creators. The iPhone camera has long checked all the boxes for anything that a casual user might need, making a digital camera obsolete for most consumers. But for millions of content creators — an industry encompassing an estimated 200 million potential customers — it has remained necessary to buy handheld video cameras from companies like Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon, and Fujifilm.

Signourney Weaver Is a Fan of ‘Alien: Earth,’ Too

We’re on record saying just how good the new FX show Alien: Earth is but who are we? Just some weird website that writes about pop culture and technology. The real voices you want to weigh in on an Alien show are the people who are a part of it, and at the top of that list is Sigourney Weaver. Weaver played Ellen Ripley, or some version of her, in four Alien movies from 1979 to 1997 and is clearly the go-to when it comes to Alien.

iPhone 17 Air will be eSIM only worldwide

Apple announced its new thin iPhone 17 Air on Tuesday at its annual hardware event. The company said that this device will have only eSIM support all across the world. Apple managed to cram a lot of tech into a 5.5 mm-thick design, but at the expense of a physical SIM tray. The company opted to ditch physical SIMs for eSIMs for iPhones sold in the U.S. in 2022. “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

At a hearing Monday, US District Judge William Alsup blasted a proposed $1.5 billion settlement over Anthropic's rampant piracy of books to train AI. The proposed settlement comes in a case where Anthropic could have owed more than $1 trillion in damages after Alsup certified a class that included up to 7 million claimants whose works were illegally downloaded by the AI company.
