An iPhone app in development that records three camera angles and two microphone sources to separate files, with audio routing between AirPods.

For
Interviewers filming with an iPhone and AirPods
Worth noticing
On iPhone 17 Pro, the page says the wide camera can record at 4K while the telephoto and front cameras record at 1080p.

Field notes

The described workflow keeps camera and microphone recordings separate rather than mixing them down, leaving the editor to combine the sources later. For the AirPods setup, the page says users can choose which AirPod receives each microphone feed, adjust sensitivity and volume, and hear spoken confirmations of routing changes. It also notes that the phone’s camera-processing limits require lower resolution on some feeds.
