Even with high speed internet it seems to always default to 480p.

It'll update to 720p or 1080p a few minutes in sometimes. But in general it's just a large inconvenience.

Low quality saves cost for YouTube and YouTube thinks that you won't notice the difference between 480p and 1080p on your phone. They don't fuck with your quality on desktops because they know you'll notice that

Pretty sure YouTube messes with it on desktops as well. Might default higher, but I had to use that advanced YouTube add on to force it to 1440p (or next highest) because it would constantly make me select it.

Interesting, YouTube autoselects 4K for me if available.
