The iPhone XS and XR Are Getting One of many iPhone 11's Greatest Options Too

In line with 9to5Mac, whereas recording video streams from a number of cameras on the identical time does require important {hardware} and processing to drag off, it’s truly a function enabled by a brand new API that’s being launched as a part of the iOS 13 replace which must be accessible beginning on September 19, and a function that the earlier technology of iPhones are able to—principally.

The iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max can be restricted to recording two simultaneous streams from numerous combos of its cameras, together with the back and front, so customers may even seize their very own reactions of a video in the event that they so want. It’s not a function that can be accessible with iOS’s normal digicam app, even with the brand new iPhone 11 fashions, however builders can add it to their very own third-party purposes, as we noticed with the brand new model of Filmic Professional which was demo’d at Apple’s occasion and can be accessible later this 12 months. Nevertheless, Apple has cautioned builders that relying on what their app is doing and the way processor-intensive it’s (equivalent to making use of filters in real-time or including augmented actuality objects) they is perhaps restricted to solely accessing decrease high quality video feeds from the cameras, as an alternative of full 4K.

Apple hasn’t made it fully clear what number of simultaneous video streams may be captured utilizing the brand new iPhone 11 fashions, however given the particular limitations imposed on the XR, XS, and XS Max, we’re assuming it might document no less than three streams concurrently at full decision to assist professional customers justify the improve, and 4 would possibly even be a risk if customers are keen to restrict the standard and persist with HD resolutions and even much less.
