iOS 18 will allow you to change the speed of videos from Photos on all iPhones

The new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will have iOS 18 installed inside. It is logical because their sale begins on September 20 and the launch of iOS 18 will be next Monday, September 16. The new iPhones include many new features, including a new capture button that they have called camera control, which is nothing more than a haptic button that allows you to perform a large number of functions. In addition, the improvements in the cameras of these devices have allowed, as they showed in the keynote, change video speed (fps) directly from the Photos app. Everything seemed to indicate that this function was only going to be on the iPhone 16, but no: iOS 18 includes this feature for all iPhones.

Video speed change coming to iOS 18 and not just for iPhone 16

In the keynote On September 9, Apple took some time to show off one of the features of the iPhone 16: the option to change the speed of a video once it has been recorded. That is, in the editing or post-processing of the video within the Photos app. Everything seemed to indicate, as we have said, that this was going to be a special novelty of the iPhone 16 (even special of the Pro). However, The feature has arrived for all older iPhones in the iOS 18 release candidate.

The playback speed editor allows you to select different speeds marked by frames per second (fps): 240, 120, 60, 48, 30 and 24. Depending on the selection we make, the video will appear faster or slower, but everything editable once the video is recorded from the Photos app. It may look like the slow motion speed control available in iOS 17, but that feature didn’t allow you to modify the fps at which the video was played, this feature is new for iOS 18 and was not available in beta versions of this whole summer.
