But now they have disabled it for some unknown reason and also newly uploaded 4K videos are only displayed maximum to 1080p on iPhone SE.

Dear Xperia Z5 Premium users:
Look at these lower resolution screen owners fighting for their phones to render a native 2K resolution video. Lol

I have 5.5 inch FHD IPS display phone and watching YouTube video at FHD and HD res its still same quality on my eyes. So even I have a IPhone 6 Plus (FHD IPS display), watching HD videos isnt problem, its will be make data savings than FHD video streamings.

Obviously the 'output' resolution won't be that high (high is relative here obviously again), but still it will look better.

It's like putting 4k sticker on your old tv, it only makes you feel better nothing else. HD screen can't display 4k content in 4k simple.

AnonD-428442, 11 Jan 2017I can set youtube to play 4K video on my Windows 10 laptop ... moreThe difference is a windows 10 Laptop can use external monitors/TVs so selecting any screen resolution available makes sense, at least from a programming point of view as it allows for the user to choice the output resolution.
I dont see why this is needed on a Phone.
