Apple pushed out the first major update for iOS 15. This update includes 5 new features as well as some bug fixes and enhancements.
SharePlay
SharePlay is a new way to share synchronized experiences in FaceTime with content from the Apple TV app, Apple Music, Fitness+, and other supported App Store apps
– Shared controls give everyone the ability to pause, play, rewind or fast forward
– Smart volume automatically lowers the audio of a movie, TV show or song when your friends speak
– Apple TV supports the option to watch the shared video on your big screen while you continue the FaceTime call on iPhone
– Screen sharing lets everyone on a FaceTime call look at photos, browse the web, or help each other out
ProRes Video Capture for iPhone 13 Pro models only
ProRes is a professional video recording format used by TV show, commercial, and movie creators, and the format offers higher color fidelity and less compression. ProRes support allows ?iPhone 13 Pro? and Pro Max owners to capture, edit, and share professional-quality videos from their devices.
You can enable ProRes by going to the Camera section of the Settings app and tapping on “Formats.” From there, toggle on “Apple ProRes.”
ProRes video capture is limited to 30fps at 1080p on devices with only 128GB of storage, but higher capacity devices can record in 4K. Apple says that a one-minute 10-bit HDR ProRes video takes up 1.7GB of space when recorded in HD mode, or 6GB in 4K mode.
