why would u watch a low res video when there is an option for the highest? Your comparison is like bought a Ferrari still bother with petrol price.
I buy a phone to maximize the usage or buy it to safe battery? For your statement, can iPhone 11 pro max play anything higher than 1080p in YouTube? 1440p can play?
i feel u bro..u want the best as with most of us..feeling hard done by this issue...but watching from iphone.. 1080p is reasonable and perfectly suited for iphone....there is hope tho for the future as AV1 may be used for both google and apple..but that's for later devices

wrong. its not a ferrari. a ferrari iphone is with 4k screen.
pixel 1:1 or closest and whats the nearest to the iphone reso?? thats 1080p.
also 4k on youtube is a joke. its terrible quality. ppl are fooling themself with smaller screen thinking its good.
btw one thing for sure you dont upload/stream.
yup you can play 1440p. its during streaming or initial part after stream is finish. after that youtube optimizes it to a different codec where the phone doesnt support it.
u are rite bro..these logical reasons are justified...however, there is one particular reason that struck me as "apple like reason"..the VP9 is technically inferior in efficiency to HEVC..we all know apple is abt efficiency..so i comfortably take the decision from apple as thru time most decisions by apple make sense sooner or later. Like headphone jack..i was sad initially but since i move to wireless headphone/earphone, i never look back
