You can select resolution and FPS for video & slo-mo. However, you cannot change the photo resolution.
You you will also be able to choose between high efficiency, using HEIF/HEVC, or most compatible, using JPEG/H.264. This does not directly affect the resolution, but does affect how large the photo and video files are.

Your phone's camera is limited by its hardware. Without opening the case and switching out several integrated circuits (and probably modifying the phone's firmware and operating system) you're not going to change that.
And you forget another thing that many cellphone camera enthousiasts overlook when talking about their hardware, and that's the optics. The main limiting factor of most if not all current cellphone cameras isn't the sensor at all, it's the lens that is actually responsible for generating the image.
That tiny piece of plastic (or glass if you're lucky) isn't really capable of providing the data needed for the sensors fitted to most modern cameras with enough resolution.
There's a reason why professional cameras have lenses with front elements that have a diameter of sometimes over 10 centimeter, and can weigh several kilos, and have sensors 24x36mm in size if not much larger in the really high end cameras.
You simply are never going to match that with your phone sensor the size of a nail clipping and ditto lens.

I already checked the camera’s settings and it’s not there. The default resolution is 4:3 and I need to change it to 16:9 every time I open the camera to take a photo. Using iphone 14 pro with the recent iOS update.
Thank you. :)
The insane resolution of iPhone images gives me a bunch of problems. I'm using these pictures for a game, and when trying to resize the images in an image processing app, it often crashes when trying to load the image for the first time due to the sheer amount of pixels. I can use a third party website to resize them, but its a long a tedious process, and causes bad compression artifacts. Is there any way to adjust the resolution of photos?
This says iPhone 16 supports shooting in raw photos? but I am not able to find it. Is apple seriously gatekeeping shooting raw photos to pro devices and also why does it say here that it supports it?, isn’t this deceptive marketing?
