These things are annoying and clearly Apple-paid promotions. Sure you could use an iPhone for filming sports games, commercials, shows, etc., but no DP or camera operator worth his/her salt would opt for that when professional equipment is available.
Professional videographer here. I use an iPhone for b-roll footage. Not everything has to be shot with a high-end professional camera. No camera operator wants to lug 25lbs of gear around when they need something small & nimble.

Right tool for the right job.

At least the forecast isn't calling for rain, as broadcast cameras have these huge spinning filters on the front that sling rain and snow off of the front of the lens. Doubt such a thing exists for the iPhone yet
There are these things called umbrellas that are used to keep rain of things and people. They're light-weight, and can easily be carried in your hand. I think they could use one of these things to prevent rain from getting on the iPhone lens. :p

With Disney on Star Wars, they should film a Star Wars movie using an iPhone next. I am sure the video quality will not be the factor if the movie flops.
