Video tearing / artifacts when rotating screen during playback.

iPhone 17 pro max, iOS 26.2 - I have my camera set to 4k @ 120fps. I can record videos with no issue, but when I play them back and rotate the screen and the video gets compressed from full screen to a smaller aspect ratio, the video starts to distort/tear and show bright green lines. If I rotate the screen so that the video is full screen again, the video clears up and is normal. If I let the distortion go on long enough, the phone will crash and reset itself. I will note that so far, that at lower resolution/fps recording, the issue does not happen.


I’m wondering if this is a software bug in iOS, or a hardware issue decompressing video? My iPad m5 and an older iPhone 15PM do not have the issue.
