There's an open, unassigned Webkit but about this same issue: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197216

I 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.
