Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

Many Warner Bros Movies Have Reverted to HD Instead of 4K on iTunes and in User Movie Libraries [Update]
Over the course of the last week or so, multiple Warner Bros movies that were previously available in 4K have reverted to HD, a change that applies to new purchases from iTunes as well as previously purchased movies.
There are complaints about the change both on Twitter and on the Blu-ray forums, as highlighted by 9to5Mac this afternoon. There are quite a few titles that have reverted from 4K to HD, including all of the Harry Potter movies.
A Blu-ray forums user compiled a list of the known titles that have recently been downgraded from 4K to HD.
It's not clear why these movies are no longer available in 4K, but there have been instances where movies are downgraded to HD and then are later made available again in 4K, so we'll need to wait to see if that's the case here.
One Apple support representative said that the downgrade was due to changes implemented by Warner Bros, which could potentially be accurate as that's often a reason why 4K availability shifts, but Apple support representatives don't always have the most up to date information.
Apple has been offering 4K movie titles from a range of different movie studios since the launch of the Apple TV 4K.
Update: This issue may be resolved as it appears many of the movies that were downgraded to HD are once again available in 4K.

And THIS is why you should still buy movies on disc -- no one can downgrade your 4K UHD Blu-ray disc.

This is why you should always buy a 35mm print of any movie you want to own. They can't downgrade it to 16mm when it's in your projector!

If this is intentional and Warner Bros intends to leave customers with a downgraded version of what was advertised and purchased, this is a lawsuit.

Hopefully this is sorted out soon. I can't imagine they would be selling 4K movies and then downgrade them for customers who bought it when it was already 4K. Doesn't make any sense and makes them liable in a lawsuit. Seems like a glitch.

And give you subpar sound. I’d rather have the disc to make sure I’m getting the uncompressed audio.

I'd imagine this is a glitch. But it still highlights the problem with digital movies and the associated "rights" you are actually purchasing. You don't really own these movies.

And this is why I still purchase physical copies for my collection. 9/10 times it comes with a digital copy so I get the convenience of streaming and the video/audio quality provided by disks when I want it.
Often it’s cheaper than the iTunes copy as well. Win win.

The good news is that easily half of those listed titles are genuinely awful movies.

My Harry Potter collection I purchased in 4K is downgraded to HD I just checked. Beyond furious right now
