As demonstrated by my friend Kaustubh Debnath on X, iOS 26 renders Liquid Glass UI in HDR! Taps on bottom nav bars trigger specular highlights, peaking at around 350 nits. Screenshots and recordings can capture the additional luminance data in PQ EOTF with HDR10 🤯

tvOS26 releases later today for Apple TV 4K, with one glaring omission being the purported addition of audio passthrough. APIs included with last week's RC aren't yet complete, so if anything is coming to that area of the audio pipeline, don't expect it to appear in any app updates available today.

Late to the party today, but I bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max earlier, and you better believe I colour matched my Siri Remote. An upgrade was in doubt this year, so what was the clincher? Open gate recording and Pro-Res Raw. Looking forward to matching my other cameras.

- Despite a riveting train sequence scored by a mix of Eddie Palmieri piano and chants of “Boston sucks,” I’m sorry to say that this Spike Lee joint had more lows than highs. A formulaic, technically challenged film unfitting of the last king of Brooklyn.

Never let someone stop you achieving your goals by projecting their fears onto you. And yes, that includes painting your home theatre room completely black. My one regret is not doing it sooner!

In March, Apple added the Lumon Terminal Pro from Severance to its website, but no actual product was sold. Well, I may have done something fiscally irresponsible yesterday by backing a project from Atomic Keyboard that plans to reproduce the MDR Dasher Keyboard. Praise Kier and hope it works out.

BBC iPlayer has just been updated to V2.40 on Apple TV where users can now access subtitles options across the app’s catalogue. Unfortunately it appears as though the BBC have gone down a custom route, therefore ignoring Apple’s native subtitle support and user preferences.
