Apple’s native recording solely helps 1080p / 30fps with out HDR, so your immersive clips will probably be noticeably sharper utilizing Spatialify than the digicam app on the identical telephone. UploadVR first reported on the app replace.
Spatialify launched earlier this yr as a software for changing Apple’s spatial movies (HEVC format) for playback on non-Apple VR headsets just like the Meta Quest 3. However with Meta later including native HEVC conversion to its headsets (the best-selling in the marketplace), Spatialify’s superior recording might give the third-party app a brand new lease on life.
Engadget senior editor Devindra Hardawar confirmed that Spatialify produces information in 4K / 30fps when set accordingly. He additionally verified that Spatialify’s movies look a lot sharper on the Imaginative and prescient Professional than these shot in Apple’s digicam app. HDR additionally makes the movies’ lighting look extra practical. Not dangerous for 3 bucks.
It’s considerably shocking Apple is holding again its native digicam app from exploiting the iPhone 15 Professional and Professional Max’s full {hardware} capabilities, nevertheless it isn’t unparalleled. Halide, a preferred iOS digicam app, beat Apple to the punch with iOS images options like capturing in RAW, guide controls and portrait photographs for pets. Primarily based on that historical past, I wouldn’t be shocked if Apple quickly added related superior spatial recording to its digicam, particularly now that we all know its present {hardware} has no downside with it.
Spatialify is accessible on the App Retailer for $3. It requires an iPhone 15 Professional or iPhone 15 Professional Max to seize spatial movies.
