Best Workflow to Play 4K Videos on iPhone X

iPhone X has released for several days and will be available for order on October 27th. Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen. One so immersive the device itself disappears into the experience. And so intelligent it can respond to a tap, your voice, and even a glance. With iPhone X, that vision is now a reality. From official data, we know iPhone X can shoot 4K video perfectly. But play 4K video on iPhone X flawlessly could be difficult.

4K UHD video is really difficult for a lot of things to play back. Many computers can’t handle it. iPhone X enables you to shoot 4k video for sharing and playback on iMovie, Youtube, Facebook. From the official website we know, iPhone X does support to play 4k video but those vdieo are formatted to MP4 and MOV. However, a 4K video could be in MP4, MTS/M2TS, AVCHD, MKV, XAVC and MXF. This is also why we come across "Unsupported Video Format" error when importing 4K videos downloaded online or recorded by Phantom, Gopro and other 4K UHD cameras into an iPhone X. To sum up, iPhone supports 4K video recording and playing, but doesn’t cover all 4K videos.
