In this video I compare the tele lenses on the new iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. the iPhone 16 Pro Max - and throw in the Shiftcam 240mm equivalent lens (that's a 10X and goes on the iPhone tele lenses and works on both models). The lens also works on various Android phones too. See link below for more details.
I also used the Blackmagic Camera app shooting Apple log 2 in H.265. And for color grading I used my Apple log LUTs.
