iPhone XS Max Why Is YouTube Limited To 1080p Within iOS App?

People thinking they can see the difference between 1080 and 2160 on a tiny iPhone screen are imagining it I think. Unless you have the phone a couple of inches aware from your face it won't look any different.

Wow, you people are... First you say you don't need it, 720p and 4k looks the same. To these people, please get eye surgery, your eyes are failures.

I just got a used iPad Air for 100usd, and i want to watch 4k video. Seems to be limited to 1080p so i googled and here i am.

There has to be a way, I'm still searching. But if there are visually-impaired sheep who are saying "you don't need it" obviously neither Apple or Google are going to do anything about it. Wake up humans.

Ps it's my first time seeing a discussion where users are saying they rather not or don't want a better feature. The world of Apple....

This thread is old as dirt, why did you even bother here?

My bigger disappointment is that the same issue happens on Apple TV. I just use the built in YT app on my TV now.
