I have a feeling that someday many of our old pictures and videos archived to google photos or hard drives will be consumed on large widescreen devices. When that time comes I think we will all regret the vertical videos of today and wonder what the heck we were thinking. I imagine Apple could add a setting to the iPhone easily enough to never take portrait mode video.

The problem is, presumably, the shape and orientation of the camera itself.
