YouTube activating HDR video support for iPhone X


MacRumors:

YouTube recently began rolling out support for high dynamic range video content on iPhone X, as noted by users on the MacRumors forums and Reddit. HDR videos provide a broader range of colors and luminance compared to sub-HDR content, and the format also supports quality video playback on a wide variety of screen sizes.

The iPhone X's Super Retina display supports what's considered true HDR, so it's noteworthy HDR content on YouTube is now becoming available. The video must be uploaded as HDR, so not all videos will appear as HDR on YouTube. A few I tested show up as HDR, so it seems to be rolling out.

HDR may extend to other Apple devices, but the iPhone X's display should give one of the best experiences.
