iPhone App Store Preview Video Specs

Apple requires exact pixel dimensions for each iPhone size class. There are three distinct resolution buckets — and uploading the wrong one means a silent rejection from App Store Connect with no error message. Here's exactly what you need.

iPhone Preview Video Resolutions

Each size class maps to a specific pixel resolution. Both portrait and landscape orientations are supported.

How to Screen Record on iPhone

1

Open Settings → Control Center and add Screen Recording to your included controls.

2

Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.

3

Tap the Screen Recording button (circle icon). You’ll get a 3-second countdown before recording starts.

4

Perform the actions you want to capture in your app. Keep it under 30 seconds.

5

Stop recording by tapping the red status bar at the top and confirming, or reopen Control Center and tap the recording button again.

Common iPhone Preview Pitfalls

Variable frame rate (VFR)

iPhones record screen video at a variable frame rate. App Store Connect requires constant 30 fps — uploading a VFR recording will be rejected.

Wrong resolution from scaling or cropping

Editing your recording in Photos or a third-party app can change its pixel dimensions. Even a 1-pixel difference from the required resolution causes rejection.

Audio not in stereo AAC

iPhone recordings capture mono audio by default. App Store Connect requires stereo AAC at 48 kHz — mono or non-AAC audio tracks are rejected.

Recording longer than 30 seconds

Preview videos must be between 15 and 30 seconds. Recordings over 30s need to be trimmed, and trimming in Photos can introduce codec issues.
