Why can't i watch HD videos on my iPhone 5s?

I recently got this phone and moved into Verizon. When i went on youtube i tried watching videos on HD and it wouldnt let me. Is this a verizon network thing or is it the phone its self?

The phone.

It's screen is not quite 720p HD resolution so maybe that's why.

  • Why isn't there sound when I watch videos off FB? I have an iPhone and whenever I try watching a video on FB on my phone, there's never sound. I try putting it on silent then back to normal- nothing. I unplugged my earphones and put it back in but still nothing. How can I get sound back?
  • Why does my iPhone receive good quality videos as bad quality videos? So I recently met a famous guy in concert and when I got a picture wth him I was getting a video and my friend used her phone to video it. So she sent it to me and it was like terrible quality and the video was like little with a huge black border around it. But yet it looks perfectly fine on her phone? How do I fix it? Whenever I try to get video editing apps it always says error & only with that particular video. I have an iPhone 5c, and so does my friend.
  • Why can't I watch videos taken with my iPhone on my computer? I took some videos today with my iPhone 4s and I tried to watch them on my computer but it doesn't work. When I click on it, it just shows a black screen but I can still hear the sound. I tried to delete my quicktime and download the new version but nothing changed. I've also tried to watch the videos on iTunes but there wasn't any difference. I don't have a Mac by the way.
  • Why can't I watch videos on my iPhone using my home Wi-Fi? I can do anything on my iPhone, except watch videos when i use my home Wi-Fi. I use to be able to watch videos, and this only just started happening a few days ago. I thought it might be flash player or something, but I can watch videos using other Wi-Fi. I'm not sure that its my Wi-Fi, because I tried watching videos on my old iPod touch, and I could. I have an iphone 4 (not 4s) and help would be appreciated.
