Apple today released a hefty iOS 17 update that adds the ability for iPhone owners to record 3D video, the launch of the Journal app, Qi2 wireless support for older iPhones, and more.
The iOS 17.2 brings « spatial video capture » to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which have cameras powerful enough to record videos in three dimensions. To do so, the phones will leverage not just the main camera, but also the ultra wide lens during the recording process.
The technology “scales the field of view from the Ultra Wide camera to match that of the Main camera, which is then saved into a single video file,” the company said. But you’ll need Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro headset to fully enjoy the footage.
“Spatial videos are captured in 1080p at 30 frames per second in standard dynamic range. With advanced computational videography techniques and HEVC compression, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max deliver stunning spatial memories in a compact file size, » Apple says.
