The new option to switch from 1080p to 720p video recording might be hinting at 4K support. What do you guys think?

Could happen. Although we already had that option to switch between 30 and 60fps, so I think they are just adding to that. Although 4K video will be such a storage hog that I probably wouldn't use it
 
If they're adding 4K recording (probably at 30 and 60 fps) Apple will be forced to ditch the standard 16GB version of the iPhone and go with 32GB standard since it takes up so much space. Lets hope they do and that Phil Schiller was telling a bad joke.

I think he just said that so that they don't look bad for still selling 8 and 16GB standard, but they have to increase it soon.
 
Pros of new cameras: front-facing true-tone flash, 1.22um pixels vs 1.12 for most competitors, new technologies
Cons of new cameras: still no OIS for iPhone 6s, still f/2.2 vs. f/1.9 and f/1.8 for other competitors, no 1080p video recording for FaceTime HD camera

Yeah, I'm annoyed with the cons. Since they made the pixels smaller, they could have at least made up for it with a wider aperture. And what's up with the video recording of the FaceTime camera? The one on the Note 5 can do 1440p, why can't :apple: at least go with 1080p? And although I would get the Plus either way, I still think that they should have put OIS into the standard.
And quick question, does the FaceTime camera do Slo-Mo?

I know, they could have given us 1080p. They can't use the excuse that the iPhone 4's 5MP camera only did 720p because the iPod touch 5th generation's and iPad's do 1080p.

Also, the FaceTime camera does not do slo-mo, at least they don't mention in their specs.
