GoPro just officially unveiled the Hero 6 Black at an event in San Francisco, and has been on store shelves around North America. The big advancement is the ability to shoot 4K footage at 60 frames per second. As we know, GoPros have shot in 4K for a few generations, which produces much clearer picture than 1080p or 720p. When you’ve got 4k footage, you may want to play them on your iPhone. However, some people complaint that when using Here 6 to record footage at 4K or even 2.7K they are unable to play it back on Capture or any thing else on the iPhone. It says unsupported.

For the time being, only the iPhone 8 and X will be recording and playing 4K HVEC HDR formats, and remains the question if or how those videos will play on the previous devices. Not everyone will go with the stream to purchase iPhone 8/X. To solve iPhone not playing 4k video issue, we need to find the root reason that is your iPhone is just not compatible with the video file. Even though the iPhone can shoot 4K video it does not display 4K resolution (it’s 1080p). As we all know, MP4, MOV are just containers which cover different video ,audio codec. So it also may be that the 4K the phone shoots is a .mov file which is not compressed like the .mp4 the GoPro Hero 6 shoots.

You need to get a smart assistant to help you solve these problems which is able to convert GoPro Hero 6 4k video to iPhone supported MOV formats with zero quality loss for iPhone 6s/7/8/X, or compress 4k video to 1080p for smooth playback on iPhone 5/6.
