iPhone 17 series to support 8K video recording | Infinium-tech
Unlike Android phones, iPhones have to present 8K video recording yet. While the iPhone 16 series can offer high-resolution video recording the company never implemented it. Now, a tipster with a solid track record when it comes to Apple Leaks says that the iPhone 17 will finally bring 8K capture.
So far, iPhone 16 and 16 plus can record 4K videos up to 60fps, while Pro and Pro Max can go up to 120fps. According to some internal rumors, the Apple was ready to offer 8K video recording with the current iPhone 16 lineup, but the telephoto sensor used for Pro and Pro Max was bottleneck.
Recording at 8K resolution requires a camera sensor with a resolution of about 35MP, and the iPhone sensor is 12MP. According to Apple, it would be confusion if you cannot shoot 8K video with telephoto unit and thus you are unable to switch between all cameras during 8K recording.
In contrast, Android OEM prefer to offer the highest possible recording resolution for each camera sensor.
If the iPhone 17 series is to support 8K video recording, it means that Apple is planning to upgrade telephoto sensors to high resolution.
