I’m loving the new AirPods Pros, was pretty surprised how was well the noise-cancelling worked, especially against airplane noise — my one wish is that I could fire the iPhone camera shutter with the new physical button.

Had such a blast driving and charging all my tech with the Rivian R1T on my shoot in the Great Smoky Mountains! More in the video.
For travel photographer @austinmann, the R1T was the perfect vehicle to haul, store & charge his gear for a three-day, off-grid photo shoot of fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains. See how the R1T easily handled this "power-hungry production.” piped.video/rnmqajyiBEY

Here’s our early look at iPhone 14 Pro’s camera hardware changes. Some cool discoveries: - the Main camera doesn’t focus as close as the previous ones (expect more “macro switching”); - huge leaps in ISO sensitivity; - 48MP camera essentially acts as 12MP lux.camera/iphone-14-pro-cam…

For people asking, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini share the exact same features… the only difference is the size. If I weren’t constantly shooting, I’d probably carry the iPhone 12 mini. #AppleEvent
