Having a tough time finding the answer to this. I know in older iPhone like the 7 when switching from photo to video there would be a crop factor of about 1.28x because of video stabilization. So the 28mm lens would be like 36mm in 4k video.



Can someone check their iPhone 12 or 12 Pro Max and confirm there is a similar crop factor? I assume it's the same for all three lens. For some reason there doesn't seem to be much information about the video FOV for video mode(unless it's the same as photo mode now)

I referenced this link for the iPhone 7 crop in 4k

 
Well I got my iPhone 13 so on the off chance someone searches for this I'll answer. Yes there is a crop factor when shooting video on the newest phones. Looks close to 35mm FOV...maybe 34mm. It's a little bigger FOV than the iPhone8.
