Should you upgrade from the iPhone 16 Pro Max to the new iPhone 17 Pro Max just for Spatial Video? And how does this $2,000 phone compare to a $30,000 Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera – or even a dedicated Canon R7 with the Spatial Lens – when viewed inside Apple Vision Pro?

You’ll see side-by-side comparisons of iPhone 16 Pro Max vs iPhone 17 Pro Max, plus real-world tests against Canon EOS R7 Spatial Lens system and the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive – the professional camera Apple officially approved for Apple Immersive Video.
