Many camera sensors in phones are so high resolution nowadays, you could fit 4K video in any orientation
I agree! I wonder if there's already camera apps that do this?
In any case, unless it's in the default camera app and a default option, it will likely do nothing to reduce the plague of vertical video. I would guess that most people filming something that would be better in landscape didn't even think about it, so won't think about turning an option on.
There is and has been for a while: https://horizon.camera/
Love this app, used it for years. I'd love to see them get picked up as a standard camera app on a big brand manufacturer so all the others would create their own version.
