The list of devices compatible with HDR in the different multimedia content applications that offer it is increasingly wide thanks to the news and especially to the improvements that are going to happen in the panels. It could not be otherwise in the latest version of the iPhone, and now YouTube already offers iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max users the ability to enjoy content in HDRHowever, it still does not offer higher resolutions than Full HD. This is how YouTube has decided and taking into account the little standardized resolutions offered by the iPhone X, so it will continue to be.
The maximum options that YouTube allows for now on the iPhone XS Max are exactly the same as in its smaller brothers, that is, from 720p at 60FPS with HDR, up to 1080p at 60FPS in HDR. This has come from the hand of the update to version 13.37 of the official YouTube application for iOS, but we will not be able to ask for more. Another detail is that now the HDR will be automatic when the connection allows it, that is, we will not have to manually select the HDR as it has been until now, something like this is exactly what the Netflix application does.
As you well know, the OLED screens of the iPhone XS have been crowned as the best in the world according to DisplayMate, offering spectacular levels of contrast. However, the resolution is halfway between 4K and FullHD, which makes developers like Google show little interest in making the application compatible with higher resolutions. Nevertheless, Do we really need it on YouTube? I honestly think that not because of the limited amount of content with these powerful features.
