Here's how much space Apple's new HEVC video format saves on an iPhone 8

1080p at 60fps is more accurate than 30fps, after all the amount used at 30fps on an iphone 7 is 40mb less than the 170mb used for recording 4k at 30fps on an iphone 8 but recording at 1080p at 60 fps on an iphone 7 is 175mb so only a 5 mb difference.

First of all it's great to have high video compression like this one. However VP9 has roughly the same compression. The major difference between HEVC and VP9 is cost and openness. Plus VP9 is already supported on every browser except Apple's Safari. Even things like YouTube, Facebook, and others already support VP9. HEVC is proprietary and OEMs have to pay a fee per device in order to use it. VP9 is open. Ultimately if you use this format, you will still have to convert to something else if you want to post your videos.

More accurate at doing what?

Most movies are filmed at 30FPS or less. 60 frames just makes the file bigger. Its nto always better.

All you are doing is adding more frames.

so think of it this way.

Let's say you record a ball bouncing. Getting 60 extra frames just means you basically would have 2 instead of 1 frames for a segment of the video.

Every 2 frames would look identical.

It's similar to how a lot folks on the android sides like to say android oem's are innovative when they adopt industry standards before like you know. Inductive charging, oled screens, LTE, waterproofing etc... boy I thought Android vendors invented all those industry standards, who knew android oem's did not invent those things.

Never read anyone or a site claiming they were android or android manufacturers inventions. And at least samsung improved oled dramastically and brands like Motorola and LG worked on LTE together with others like Nortel. So if you thought they were android oem inventions, that's on you

Please, those things are listed on the interweb as innovative ideas from the android camps all the times. Whenever Apple adopt anything (standards) that android oem's adopted first, you get this "oh this has been on android for years comment when it's a standard that can be adopted by anyone at anytime. So don't try to play it down now when it happens basically everyday on this very website.

Oh but they can say later on Apple was the first with HEIF. But that's totally different from claiming it was Apple's or Androids
