The latest developer beta of iOS (iOS 13. 2 beta 2) adds a new feature to the latest iPhone 11 devices that should make shooting video a little easier. As of iOS 13. 2 beta 2, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max users will have the option to change the resolution and frame rate of the video being captured with a simple tap.
As shown in the below tweet from iOS developer Ryan Jones, the update makes it possible to switch between various video settings without the need to go back into the Settings app.
In iOS 13. 2 Beta 2 you can toggle through 720p

As Jones showcases in the above screen capture, the setting changes are sequential, going from 720p to 1080p to 4K and from 24 to 30 to 60 frames per second.
The lack of settings control from within the iOS Camera app has long been a sore spot of the stock Camera app. This update doesn’t address the issues with the still photography interface and is only a small step in the right direction, but it’s progress nonetheless. Hopefully, we’ll see Apple offer first-party Raw capture and make it easier to adust aspect ratios and other still photography settings directly inside the Camera app.
