Which iPhones Support ProRes Video Recording?
Launched in 2021, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max feature an upgraded camera system to support the new ProRes video mode. Using the Camera app, you can record 4K videos at 30 frames per second on an iPhone 13 Pro (or Pro Max), but you’ll need one with at least 256GB storage. The 128GB model can only record 1080p ProRes videos at 60 frames per second.
