Instagram Up Their Image Quality to 1080p

The change is being rolled out publicly, very slowly, but The Verge did some sleuthing in the Instagram source code and found that new images were being saved at 1080p, even if they aren't being displayed as such. Instagram's position as a legitimate platform for photography has always been a bit dubious and this won't do much to change that, but it will probably make the app more attractive for some hobbyists with more of an eye for detail.
Even hidden as they are, if you open the page source on a browser like Chrome or Firefox, all you need to do is search for '.jpg', highlight the image code and paste it into the URL bar. Make sure you pick something pretty though, not a lot of benefit to looking at a picture of a mozzarella panini in higher quality. Also it needs to be a relatively recent image. Here are some examples (taken from renowned Instagram photographer Dan Cole):
