wait so the iPhone can but not the iPad, mines the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9? can the 2020 one do it, I would think the iPad has the bigger screen so better for 4k
Just tried on my 2020 iPad Pro and it’s doing the same thing!

iPhone 11 Pro Max: plays 2160p60 HDR
iPad Pro 11” 2020: plays 1080p60

I tried it on both devices with this clip:

It was working in 4K for me in earlier betas.

YouTube have been changing the settings for various device types over the last few months, as per the long running 4K thread.

iOS/iPadOS 14 and VP9 support


Here's my post with a screenshot from my iPad 11" 2018, back in July showing it running 4K: #39

Tried playing that Costa Rica video on a 2018 iPad Pro...no 4K option with today’ iPadOS 14 release. Anyone else?
 
Funny, I was using that same video for testing - my 2018 12.9 only shows 1080p60, while my Xs shows 2160p60 HDR.
 
I assume this is YouTubes fault?? 4k and her was one of my main reason why I got iOs14 on my IPad Pro!
 
Hi everyone! I looked for information how to fix it and found this video How to fix 4K
Can anybody test it? It’s not working for me (iPadOS 14 stable, iPad Pro 13 3gen)
 
This doesn't work.

It won't as we have no control over this. It's all YouTube on their end. Throughout the beta period, we saw that they were enabling it and disabling it all over the place, not clear if by device, by user account, or what. We just have to wait for them to re-enable it again.
