Apple has officially renamed its streaming service:
"Apple TV+ is now simply #AppleTV, with a vibrant new identity."
Hopefully a precursor to further clarifying announcements later this week!

I’m beyond grateful to the British Film Institute for inviting me back for press and industry screenings ahead of this year’s #LFF. A packed program with the majority of titles destined for theatres and your Apple TV app watchlists!

Got my hands on AirPods Pro 3 earlier today and I’ve been having bilingual conversations for the last hour. Live Translation will be a learning aid more than it will be a cheat code. Truly life enhancing!

#TheMorningShow is back. Doubling down on last season’s pivot from prestige drama to delectably chaotic soap opera, the usual UBA jockeying continues amid corporate coverups, conspiracy theories, deepfakes, surprise call-backs, and stupendous scandal.

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.

#TheStudio deserves every one of its #Emmy wins last night. One of the most re-watchable and hilarious shows to grace the streaming era!
Season 2 begins shooting in Los Angeles this December before location shoots in Italy early next year.

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.

Apple bringing bullet-time to the masses is a pretty wild flex following Danny Boyle’s #28YearsLater. You may need additional resource and people to maximise the most out of #iPhonePro models for a video workflow, but the possibilities are beyond mind-boggling.
