[LordRaydenTube]

Is there a way to ckeck, if the content is HDR? Like a notification or a logo in the player during playback?

How do I watch 4K videos on my iPad Pro second generation only goes up to 1080p

[murdockdeechte]

do you set true tone on or off when you watch a video, or netflix?

[fade]

I find it absurd apple doesn’t have a 4K iPad yet. They are seriously behind right now.

[lvasiescu]

Do you need to download it? Doesn’t work with just “play”?

in ipad how i make (youtube-netflix-any video) full screen without black line

[final_counter]

What if you don’t download it will it play higher resolution than 1080p

[The_Primary_Axiom]

Have you found a fix for why Netflix movies are too dark on iPad ? But if you download them first they play just fine. It’s such an annoying issue.

[PMZanetti]

1. Does the video have to be “downloaded” first? Or will play in HDR by just tapping play aka streaming?
2. Do the movies that are labeled DolbyVision also play in HDR? Or does it need the literal HDR tag?

[IronCrowe]

I've been enraged trying to ask people if HDR is also supported in the 1st generation of iPad.
If you give me an answer, I'll be satisfied thanks.

[wpgcelica]

[Sebwolf]

Nice video!
Do you guys may know if the 2017 iPad Pro's will support HDR-Content on YouTube soon?
I'm asking because I'm not into buying movies on iTunes for watching them once or maybe twice. :)

[GamingTaylor]

Can't even play 2k or 4k YouTube videos on a $1100 iPad pro? What a scam... My sister just bought one and I wasn't impressed

[PauloRobertoFh]

John Wick is the worst movie I've ever watched!

[oxoym]
