I'm talking 16:9, I was watching a fairly recent south park (from about 2015) on an iphone12 mini, there are two options that double tapping toggles between, one is the original 16:9, the other zooms in so it's full width (including the notch), so 19.5:9. In other words it's taking a 1920x1080 image and only showing 886 lines, dropping 97 lines from the top and bottom.

Why would it behave differently with 16:9 and 4:3 videos?

I only have an older iPhone with a 16:9 ratio, so I can't test what happens with 16:9 material.

But if I do the double-tap you describe on 4:3 material, it will zoom-in and crop the top and bottom.

But that's not the default behaviour in my case. I actually didn't even know about the double-tap thing.
