Apple has released a charming new “Shot on iPhone” film just in time for Chinese New Year, highlighting the cinematic capabilities of the iPhone 17 Pro.
Titled “Chinese New Year – Glad I Met You”, the short film follows a heartwarming story centered on a girl, a talking dog, and an elaborate, thoughtfully planned scheme — all revolving around the theme of discovering family. Directed by Bai Xue, the piece creatively blends live-action cinematography with stop-motion animation to deliver an imaginative and touching narrative.
Filmed entirely on the iPhone 17 Pro, the video serves as a showcase for the device’s advanced camera system, continuing Apple’s long-running campaign that demonstrates how everyday users (and professionals) can capture professional-grade content with iPhone hardware.
MacDailyNews Note: The film arrives as Chinese New Year celebrations begin, offering a festive, feel-good message perfect for the occasion. Apple also linked to more details about the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max for those interested in the tech behind the production.
