However, ProRes files take up a lot of space, and for that reason you’re limited to recording in 1080p at 30fps if you have a phone with just 128GB of storage, but for other models ProRes tops out at 4K quality at 30fps. It’s designed to be visually lossless (though it’s technically compressed), and it’s also less intensive on your computer’s CPU than formats like H.264 and H.265 when editing. This is a video recording format, and while it’s not new, this is the first time a smartphone has been able to record in the format. This is exclusive to the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max though, so less widely available.

There’s more than one big feature in iOS 15.1, with ProRes also making an appearance.
