All iPhones from iPhone 5s onward can record slow-motion video at 120 frames per second (FPS), but only the models powered by the A11 Bionic chip or newer, like iPhone 8 and later, boost the slo-mo frame rate to 240 FPS in full HD resolution (1,920 by 1,080 pixels).

By default, iOS devices are set to capture slo-mo video in 1080p at 120 FPS. Here's how to adjust settings appropriately when you'd like to shoot fast-paced scenes in ultra slow motion.

Converting a regular video to slow motion with iMovie on Mac

Slow motion videos are one of the fun aspects of using your iPhone for videogprahy. You can record videos in 120 or 240 frames per second and then watch it play back in a much slower manner than it typically would.

On the other hand, if you don't use your iPhone to capture video, getting the video files from your other devices to transform into slow motion is a little trickier. Fortunately, iMovie for Mac can convert your videos into slow motion, and in this tutorial, we'll show you how.

‘Shot on iPhone’ continues with a pair of new videos highlighting Slo-Mo video capture

It's been a while since Apple released any new 'Shot on iPhone' work by its fans in the form of slideshow videos. This morning, however, a pair of new clips surfaced on the company's official channel on YouTube, each running fifteen seconds long and highlighting videos scenes captured on an iPhone using a slow-motion feature.

Each clip highlights work by a different user, one located in Tel-Aviv, Israel and the other in Greater Sudbury of Canada's Ontario.

How to enable 1080p Slo-mo videos on iPhone

The iPhone iSight camera has received several remarkable improvements over the year, headlined by its ability to shoot 4K video. Another big feature is its ability to shoot slow motion videos in 1080p. Older iPhones, like the iPhone 6, were only capable of shooting "Slo-mo" videos in 720p resolution. With new iPhones, you can now enjoy slow motion videos in full HD glory.
