Apple launched the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models with major design changes and improved cameras. One of the biggest improvements on the iPhone 15 Pro is its ability to shoot spatial videos for Vision Pro. The feature is only available on ‘Pro’ models, as standard models cannot do this at this stage. However, Apple will bring this feature to standard iPhone models later this year. A new $3 app has surfaced that aims to make a big deal of shooting spatial videos on the iPhone 15 Pro.
Spatialify allows the iPhone 15 Pro to record spatial video in 4K at 60 fps
Spotted UploadVRthe new Spatify app can be downloaded from the App Store and costs only 3 dollars but it works much better than the camera app on the iPhone 15 Pro. The app can record spatial videos in HDR at 1080p at 60 fps or 4K at 30 fps. When you compare the app to the camera app on the iPhone 15 Pro, both resolution and frames per second are higher, as the iPhone shoots at 1080p at just 30 fps.
Note that the iPhone 15 Pro did not have support for Spatial Video recording until the company introduced the Vision Pro. Soon after, Apple released iOS 17.2 to the general public which brought support only for the ‘Pro’ model of the iPhone 15. If you don’t have Vision Pro, then there is no point in buying the app, because the depth of the video cannot be experienced on the iPhone screen.
If you’re interested in checking out the new app for yourself, keep in mind that spatial video takes up a lot of space on your iPhone. In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro records Spatial Video in 1080p at 30 fps and takes up 130 MB per minute. This means that recording videos in higher resolution and larger frames could cost you a lot of storage space on your iPhone. It would be wise to invest in a good portable SSD that you can connect to your iPhone via USB-C.
As mentioned, the Spatify app costs $3 and can be downloaded via Application store on your iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. How do you like the new app and do you think Apple will offer these upgrades with the iPhone 16 Pro this year?
