The new iPhone models will allow us to record in 4K quality with the new 12 mpx camera that they integrate but the screen of the device is not 4K, but has the same resolution as the previous models. In addition, Apple is still determined to launch the base model with 16 GB of memory, something incongruous if the device allows recording in this resolution, that we will barely have space to record if we have several applications installed of those that exceed the GB of space.
The new Apple TV model that was presented yesterday along with the new iPhone and iPad Pro, showed us the qualities and main novelties of this device such as being able to control it through voice commands thanks to Siri, being able to play with the device as if it were a console thanks to the gamepads adapted and compatible with the device ... But it will not allow us to play the content we record from our iPhone, at least for now.
The experts assure that the device has enough capacity to play content at this resolutionn but it seems that Apple has penetrated this option through software. It is possible that Apple wants to enable it in the future but we do not quite understand why it has not presented it with this option already activated at the factory.
In the specifications of the new Apple TV that we can see on the Apple website, we can see that the audio and video output is done through an HDMI 1.4, which perfectly supports 3D content and increases the output resolution up to 4K (3840 × 2160) at 24 Hz or Ultra HD (3840 × 2160) at 30 Hz.
It must be recognized that currently much content in 4K does not exist, but streaming video service such as Netflix or Hulu are preparing content in this resolution that owners of a fourth generation Apple TV will not be able to enjoy until the guys from Cupertino update the device by activating the playback of this type of content. .
Maybe apple it will wait until your streaming video service is ready to launch the update. Apple has been trying to reach an agreement with the different providers for several months to be able to get fully into video on demand. The latest rumors also suggest that Apple may be interested in producing series for its new video service. Time will tell and confirm if Apple waits for the launch of its new service to activate 4K on new devices.
