Will the iPhone 17 Pro have 360 video recording for Vision Pro?

Apple recently announced native support for 360 video in visionOS 26 so I’ve been reading up on cameras that capture 360 video .

In the article linked below, this caught my eye:

• Dual video recording: According to Jon Prosser, of the YouTube channel Front Page Tech, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will allow users to record video with the front and rear cameras simultaneously in the Camera app.
• 8K video recording: Apple allegedly tested 8K video recording on the iPhone 16 Pro models, but such functionality is still not available. With the iPhone 17 Pro models expected to have entirely 48-megapixel rear cameras, perhaps 8K video recording will debut on those devices.

Is there any chance the new iPhone would be capable of recording 360 video?

An 8k dual lens camera sounds an awful lot like the 360 cameras I’ve been reading about. 🤔

Dual – front and rear – video would address a different use case where the person doing the recording wants to capture their face with the front camera and whatever they're shooting with the rear. That's different than true 360 degree video, which requires a 180 degree FOV and the same specs for both cameras.

I think 8k video recording will mostly be useful to allow for cropping and zooming in post while still producing a decent result at lower resolution.

You’re right. I didn’t think about needing the 180° cameras. I’m just excited about the native support coming this fall and got into a bit of wishful thinking.
