Could you build this?
Partial The UI wrapper is standard iOS, but executing performant, offline on-device video super-resolution up to 4K requires deep CoreML model optimization to prevent thermal throttling and memory crashes.
What it would actually take: This requires native Swift, AVFoundation for frame-by-frame video demuxing/remuxing, and Apple CoreML/Metal. The difficult parts are quantizing super-resolution neural networks (like Real-ESRGAN) to run efficiently on the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) within mobile thermal and memory limits (500MB-1GB), while maintaining audio/video sync at high throughput.
