Ok. Confirmed it is a ProRes issue by trying to open it in iMovie (🤣). Some newer Apple iOS devices can decode, but not legacy hardware. Best to export the movie to a distribution friendly codec (mp4) and reupload.

Apple does not mess around with their silicon division.
Great detective work all, and good to know for future potential issues. Glad it is an Apple format issue..
I’m on a 12, does that mean I need to upgrade already?!? Is it legacy hardware.. Apple!!.. 🤦♂️
ProRes was mainly created for the video post-production industry, then adopted in production. Have stopped following the development, but I remember seeing something about using it for distribution as well. The compatibility must come down to the solutions they can build straight into the chip.
