Does Apple TV 4K upscale 1080p YouTube?

I understand that the Apple TV 4K will be able to play the latest YouTube 4K videos in 4K with TVOS 14.

but my question is:

Does the current Apple TV 4K upscale 480/720/1080p YouTube video?

4K streaming on Apple TV app on 4K Chromecast with Google TV Does the Apple TV app support 4K streaming on Chromecast with Google TV that supports 4K streaming for other apps? I've been looking around Google and Reddit for an answer but I can't get a straight answer. Does it actually allow 4K that way or do you have to have an Apple TV 4K to stream purchased movies and shows from iTunes and stuff on Apple TV+ and its channels in 4K on a 4K TV?

Utilizing Lightning to HDMI Adapter for TV after updating to iOS 16.2 I updated my iPad 6th generation to iOS 16.2.. My lightning to HDMI adapter no longer works with my Samsung smart tv. I have two older Samsung tv’s. I have been using the same HDMI and lightning cable with no issues. Once I updated from iOS 15 to 16 the cable no longer works on any of the televisions. I have changed both the HDMI cable and lightning cable with new ones, no change. I tried to utilize my iPhone with the same cables, no difference. Was there an update with the new iOS preventing the lightning to HDMI cable to transfer movies from iPad or iPhone to the television?

It will output at the resolution you have set during setup and if the content is of a lower resolution it will then be upscaled. You can also set it to match dynamic range and frame rate.
