Video Description

I tested the iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone Air Cameras side by side. So here is my complete long-term camera review! Thank you Torras for Sponsoring this video. Check out their iPhone accessories below: Official website: https://bit.ly/48Chw7k US Amazon for Q3 Air: https://amzn.to/48Db3ZO US Amazon for OriArmor: https://bit.ly/3KsgtwM UK Amazon for Q3 Air: https://amzn.to/4pk6zxn I edit and create these videos myself so it takes a lot of time and effort to make each video perfect for you guys, so please like and subscribe to support me! Thanks! In this video I compare and review everything you should know about these phone's cameras but also cover the differences in the design, size, and everyday usability of both phones, but once again the main focus is on their cameras. The iPhone Air comes with just a single 1x lens, while the iPhone 17 Pro brings the full Pro camera system with multiple focal lengths, ProRes and LOG video, and advanced photo modes!
