Why is there no option for 1080p on YouTube on my iphone 5s? - 1

There's no option for 1080p on my iphone 5s in the YouTube app. There used to be the option on my iPad air but it has since disappeared and the highest I can get is 720p.

There are two solutions to this problem
1) Since the iPhone 5's screen solution is 1136x640 resolution, most of the the videos on youtube will be scaled down to fit the screen. So you are wasting your internet bandwidth by watching 1080 p videos you should rather watch 720p videos

2) You can download Jasmine App from the app store and set the preferred video quality to 720p / 1080p under the video playback settings. It is a youtube client.

The resolution choice is dependent on the video. If you don't see 1080p as an option, it's because the video itself doesn't support that resolution.
