Settings of a QuickTake video on the iPhone 16 Pro Max

Why is there so little discussion on the Internet about changing QuickTake video settings on iPhones 16 Pro Max? I purchased 16 Pro Max after 12 Pro Max, and as a content maker, I am very unhappy that the QuickTake settings made the default video settings. It was the main tool in my work, for two years now I have not been shooting on the iPhone video format, only on QuickTake. And then I turn it on the iPhone 16 and see how the picture gets closer, changes the light correction, color, ceases to be complete, and this is really a big problem for me. Obviously, the video looks more interesting, more complete and even more beautiful in the photo format. Of course, the 16 Pro Max camera is even better than the previous versions and the new shooting settings make me happy as a photographer, but at the same time they have taken away a very important video function. Can Apple revert to its previous QuickTake settings in the next iOS? Maybe someone has already found workarounds or applications where you can get the same approximate image in a video in 4:3 format? I would be very grateful for any solutions to the problem..

Man, this is literally crazy! I can’t use my new iPhone 16 Pro Max. I have to give it to my wife and use the 15 Pro Max instead. I need a wide-angle lens to shoot in 4:3 format with QuickTake because I often shoot in tight spaces for work. What the heck! Why even consider removing this option?
