You need A12 or better to support more than 1080p, even the iPad pro 2017 cannot do that...
PS Safari does not go above 1080p on any iPad, because Google does not allow it...

With an iPad that has a processor that supports it apparently.

@Digitalguy - thanks for the clarification on what devices might support it. Explains why I can't, in either Safari or the Youtube app itself on the ipad's own display (since I have a 2017 iPP with A10X fusion).

re: Safari & 1080p - yeah, that sucks. The Amazon Prime app will only display 720p but you can go to 1080p on the Prime website via Safari ... but no higher.

Google wants you to use their app, where you cannot block ads, they not only limit the resolution, but make youtube much more resource intensive on safari, to the point that anything below A10X stutters and lags when using youtube in Safari, including the still otherwise snappy first gen pro....
By the way this is true on Android too (but on Android you have other ways to block adds without using a browser...)

Yeah, but the same restriction on Prime applies to Chrome, too.

on Android there is Youtube Vanced, which is basically Youtube premium for free... You don't even see the ads at all there are no short breaks like on Safari
