If you're anything like us, you'll want to know how to record ProRes video on iPhone 13 Pro, so you can take advantage of one of the new phone's best features.
Photography and videography took center stage when Apple announced the iPhone 13 series. Among the improvements to computational photography and Cinematic mode, Apple also added support for the ProRes video format on the Pro models.
iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max users can record at 4K 30 frames per second — though only on the 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB models, while the 128GB variant is limited to 1080p 30 fps. You can also edit the video on the fly thanks to the new iPhone's powerful A15 Bionic chip.
ProRes is also back for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, though like with the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, your storage size matters.
At time of writing, you need to have the iOS 15.1 beta installed to access the ProRes option. It's a pretty easy process, so we'll walk you through it below. But first, here's how to record ProRes video on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
