A whole generation of people are going to need to learn how to shoot video in landscape format.
It's wild that Apple did not anticipate the possible use case to capture spatial video in landscape format before the iPhone 15.They swapped camera positions on the iPhone 15 Pro. (And it's not like anybody who gets the Vision Pro at launch is too poor.)
I can try later with my Quest1 - I used to watch quite a few .mp4 files in 3D on it - what makes the Q3 so special? Or is it the export app Spatialify?Q3 I'm afraid
So if I hold my 14 Pro vertical it should do the same thing.Swapped camera positions, which was initially reported to accommodate the periscope lens in the 15 Pro Max.
The main lens and a crop of the wide lens are used for stereo vision. The image below show the lenses on the 14 Pro, with the arrows showing the swap between tele and wide on the 15 Pro.

More like at 45 degrees to keep the lenses parallel to the horizon, and then it would still be vertical video which would be odd to view in a headset. I don’t think people who want to shoot lopsided videos are the target audience for Vision Pro.So if I hold my 14 Pro vertical it should do the same thing.![]()
Bulbous lens bumps on both the front and back of the device? I don’t think that will be well received…Apple is eventually going to need to match the front facing camera to the back camera on the iphone and ipads so people can shoot 360 degree video for the AVP.
Smart idea, 👏I'm not sure if I want or will get the Apple Vision Pro, I think it's pretty cool but don't see how it will be useful/ helpful in my everyday lifestyle. But.. I am going to go ahead a record my videos this way to make my video's more future proof.
They should be doing this anyway...A whole generation of people are going to need to learn how to shoot video in landscape format.
Most young people consume video via Instagram and TikTok and YouTube Shorts on their phone while holding it in portrait mode, so they also shoot video in portrait mode. As annoying as this is, it has been a growing trend for the last few years.They should be doing this anyway...
