With the arrival of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Apple users will be able to record videos in 4K quality, a format that offers a resolution four times higher than Full HD (1080 pixels). The arrival of the 4K format to the iPhone had been rumored for weeks and Apple, finally, confirmed it in its latest keynote. The big disappointment of the event, however, was that the Apple TV with 4K playback capabilities was not announced.
There is something important that we must take into account if we want to record in 4K: the storage capacity of our iPhone. If you are thinking of recording amazing videos in 4K quality, then we recommend that you opt for the 64 or 128GB storage models, since your 4K recordings will take up much more space on your device. And if you're thinking of editing those videos on the go, Apple puts the tools you need at your fingertips: iMovie.
iMovie is an application developed by Apple that you can download for free from the App Store once you have bought your new iPhone. The video editing app has been updated this week to allow us edit 4K videos. But not all Apple devices will offer the power to edit this format: the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPad Pro will support 4K editing thanks to their powerful processors. And no, the iPad Pro cannot record video in 4K quality.
You can now download the latest iMovie update for free from the App Store.
