--- Comment #3 from Jonathon Wolfe <jon at vocalvideo.com> ---
This has been an issue with WebKit on iOS for several years now, and the issue is still present in iOS 15. 

MediaRecorder is the future (and I'm so glad that MediaRecorder support has come to Safari), but there are still many valid use cases for HTML Media Capture, and it's a shame that iOS arbitrarily downsamples all captured videos so severely.

This behavior temporarily changed in iOS 9 or thereabouts, but has since reverted. The issue is present in all WebKit-based browsers on iOS, so it seems to be a WebKit or iOS issue, not specific moible Safari.

Any acknowledgment of the issue would be appreciated.
