I'm currently trying to record HTML5 video using the <input> tag.
The way I'm doing this is as so:
This works, but the video is always in 360x480 resolution. I wish to know if there is a way to increase this.
I've tried going into the camera settings of my iPhone XR, but none of the 6 options there make any difference to the recorded video.
A source I found from 2016 said that 1080p 60fps would work, and the rest would not. I think this may have changed since.
If this is a duplicate question/issue, I apologise as I have not found it.
Thanks for any help!

Add a CommentI would absolutely love to see some acknowledgment of this issue from Apple. I think it's more likely "benign neglect" than deliberate sabotaging of the web as a platform, but this issue has persisted forever.
I have a startup that depends on standards-based remote video collection via the web, and it's more than a bit frustrating that in 2021 iOS still downsamples all videos collected via HTML Media Capture to 360x480. What a waste of such powerful cameras!
I've been an Apple fan forever (I even used to work at 1 Infinite Loop), so it pains me when to have to tell customers to use Android for better video quality when capturing videos via web forms.
There's an open, unassigned Webkit but about this same issue: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197216
