iPhone XR Resolution of YouTube videos while using the iPhone xr ?

You aren't getting it. It isn't playing it at 720p

Exactly, which isn't 720p as he said.

Quit trying to backpedal. You were arguing that videos were playing at 1080p. Which myself and many other people tried to get through to you they weren't. They are downscaled to either 720p or 828p. No one really knows for sure which one. But they sure aren't playing at 1080p.

You are bordering on trolling now.

It will scale up or down to the native resolution, it also won’t display HDR like the phones before it do.

But do we really know that for sure? YouTube seems to play at specific resolutions. If you choose auto you would think it would play at the native resolution. But it plays at 480p.

Sorry, I meant that the iPhone will scale up or down to fit the display. E.g. if you play 1080p it shrinks it to fit or 720p it would stretch it to fit.

I posted this in another thread. I compared my 6S+ and an XR playing the identical youtube clips with the same settings. I was surprised when both my wife and I agreed that the XR videos looked better than my 6S+. I played Aquaman trailer for something new that could reach the edges of the XR and displayed slightly bigger than on the 6S+ and I also played the trailer for Gremlins to see the difference in old movie aspect ratio. Both times looked better on XR. The XR did display the old movie smaller because it's narrower and it will also display TV shows narrower as well due to this, but new movies will display slightly larger on an XR.

The Max definitely looked better side by side in comparison with the XR, but if you don't have a Max next to the XR, you won't know.

That’s to be expected. The new displays have better color/wider color gamut than the 6s display.

I never argued that at all. I've only pointed out how wrong you are that the videos run at 720p regardless of the resolution you choose. The only one backpedaling here is you. Stop trolling.

You started out saying it plays 1080p.

WRONG

Then you tried to make me look stupid because I said they downscale to 720p. Which honestly no one knows if it downscales to 720p or 828p. YouTube does not have a choice of 828p. If you click auto it goes to 480p.

Point is and always was it DOES NOT PLAY 1080p. As you originally came flapping your mouth off that it does.

So before you try to make people look like an ass have your facts straight. Because you don't.

Show me concrete proof that 1080p downscale to 828p and not 720p.

I was involved in a discussion. You were the one trolling pal.

You're missing a software layer, the OS. The youtube setting is the resolution the video is transmitted and made available by the app. Let's say we set it to 1080p in the case of the XR, it would render 1080p, then the OS would essentially show that 1080p frame using an 828p display.

If set to 1080p (which you can) it absolutely, definitely would not downsample all the way down to 720p, then back up to 828p.
