If you're shooting spatial video on the iPhone 15 Pro – and there may be good reasons for this, even if you don't have Vision Pro , you might want to purchase the iPhone app for $3.
While Apple's own camera app only captures 1080p spatial video at 30 frames per second, Spatialify allows you to record in 4K at the same frame rate …
Of course, not many people have Vision Pro, but if you're a fan of 3D video, then taking it down now could be a good defense against the future when Apple's less expensive headsets go on sale. In particular, some parents make 3D spatial videos of their children on the basis that they will never reach that age again.

UploadVR was the first to report on the capabilities of Spatialify's latest update, noting that the app also offers a 1080p 60fps option.
Since its initial release, Spatialify has gained the ability to Record spatial videos within the app itself, rather than simply converting those captured in the Apple Camera app. And the latest update adds support for HDR capture, as well as higher frame rates or higher resolution.
Apple's camera app can only record spatial videos at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second with standard dynamic range (SDR). On the other hand, the new v1.3 update for Spatialify can record at either 1080p, 60 fps or 4K, 30 fps, and both modes support high dynamic range (HDR).
Engadget was impressed with the results.
Engadget Senior Editor Devindra Hardawar confirmed that Spatialify produces 4K/30fps files when configured to do so way. He also confirmed that Spatialify videos on Vision Pro look much sharper than those captured in Apple's camera app. HDR also makes video lighting more realistic. Not bad for three dollars.
As Will Shanklin points out, it's surprising that Apple's own Camera app doesn't offer such capabilities. options since the hardware is clearly capable of it. I share his opinion that it will likely appear soon.
Halide, a popular iOS camera app, beats Apple to the punch with these iOS photography features like RAW shooting, manual controls, and pet portraits. Based on this history, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple soon adds similar improved spatial recording to its camera.
I'm guessing Apple isn't 100% satisfied with the results yet. in higher resolution, higher frame rates and HDR. One review of the app claims that videos are grainy, possibly in low light.
In any case, a one-time three dollars seems like a small investment to get early access to this feature. You can purchase the app here.
