I would be very surprised if all the > 3GS IOS devices couldn't handle Main 3.1 (or even High 3.1). You might be gated by iTunes from putting the bitstream on the device, but the decode hardware is almost certainly capable.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I used to work on video at Apple. No inside knowledge was used to make this post.
- chopsueyar 16y agoCare to speculate on the hardware video encoding capabilities of the capable iDevices?
- jfb 16y agoGated by the needs of FaceTime, I would suspect. 720x480 @ 30fps, baseline? H.264 is highly asymmetric, so they're not going to waste silicon on encoding hardware beyond the basics.
