A $3 iOS app now data higher-resolution spatial movies than Apple’s native digital camera app. Spatialify, obtainable on the App Retailer, lets iPhone 15 Professional homeowners document 3D movies for Apple’s Imaginative and prescient Professional in both 1080p at 60fps or 4K at 30fps — with HDR. Apple’s native recording solely helps 1080p / 30fps with out HDR, so your immersive clips will likely be noticeably sharper utilizing Spatialify than the digital camera app on the identical cellphone. UploadVR first reported on the app replace.
Spatialify launched earlier this 12 months as a instrument 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 may give the third-party app a brand new lease on life.
Engadget senior editor Devindra Hardawar confirmed that Spatialify produces recordsdata 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 digital camera app. HDR additionally makes the movies’ lighting look extra lifelike. Not dangerous for 3 bucks.
It’s considerably stunning Apple is holding again its native digital camera app from exploiting the iPhone 15 Professional and Professional Max’s full {hardware} capabilities, but it surely isn’t extraordinary. Halide, a preferred iOS digital camera app, beat Apple to the punch with iOS pictures options like taking pictures in RAW, guide controls and portrait photographs for pets. Based mostly on that historical past, I wouldn’t be shocked if Apple quickly added related superior spatial recording to its digital camera, particularly now that we all know its present {hardware} has no drawback with it.
Spatialify is offered on the App Retailer for $3. It requires an iPhone 15 Professional or iPhone 15 Professional Max to seize spatial movies.
