Apple Builds Custom Camera for F1 Movie with iPhone Parts
Apple created a special camera for an F1 movie to capture amazing footage from inside the race cars.
The engineers used parts from an iPhone to build this camera.
Regular cameras used in F1 are not as good quality, so the movie makers wanted something better.
This new camera looks like the regular ones but takes much clearer videos, which gives viewers a better view.
This lets people see what it's like to be in a race car from the driver's point of view without slowing them down.

The goal was to capture high-quality, authentic footage from inside F1 cars.
Traditional onboard cameras provide lower-resolution footage for broadcast.
