TheiPhone15 Pro got its full release this week at the bigAppleEvent in Cupertino, and while this year’s show didn’t have a surprise ‘One more thing,’ there was one feature that deserved a lot more attention.
After the extensive description of theiPhone 15’s new camera system– which is an impressive array – Greg “Joz” Joswiak went on to describe the new video features, including new 60fps 4K ProRes, LOG encoding and a little thing called spatial video for viewing on theApple Vision Pro.

Presumably you will still be able to watch the footage back in 2D on the iPhone itself but it could be limited to the Vision Pro for full spatial playback. I hope not, as it would be great if you could also watch these on other screens that support 3D.
With the ability to shoot spatial video, the iPhone 15 Pro will presumably also be able to capture spatial photos in the same way. While still spatial images are perhaps not as exciting, the ability to view them is likely to be greater. It could also help with the creation of AR objects that you could explore on screen when captured.
The full potential of spatial capture perhaps won’t be clear until the Vision Pro headset launches next year, and this functionality won’t be available on launch. However, I feel Apple has underplayed the importance of this feature, and I can’t wait to give it a try.
In the meantime, there’s plenty to explore with the new iPhone 15 Pro lenses, especially the new 5x telephoto camera. The next-generation portraits feature that captures rich depth information, allowing you to pick your point of focus later, using focus and depth control. It’s the stuff that once only existed in specialist cameras like the Lytro and is now just a click away.
