Google YouTube now supports 4K/60FPS video playback on Apple TV 4K


Google YouTube has enabled 4K/60FPS video playback for its Apple TV application. This is better than the previous 30FPS Upper limit. YouTube launched 4K support for its Apple TV application in October last year. However, the playback feature had a 30FPS limit to the disappointment of many users. As the new Apple TV 4K is equipped with a powerful A12 Bionic processor, YouTube can now play 4K videos at a rate of 60 frames per second. Furthermore, 4K video playback at 60 frames per second does not exist on the old Apple TV.

The second-generation Apple TV 2021 uses the same design as the first-generation Apple TV 4K. However, this generation supports HDR and comes with a faster A12 Bionic chip. The new Apple TV 2021 uses a redesigned Siri Remote, which has a more robust body and a touchpad.

YouTube now hiding dislikes counter

According to reports,Ā YouTube authors can now hide the dislike counter under their videos. This feature is obviously a controversial one and many users are not happy about it. However, account owners will be happy to have more options at their disposal. Nevertheless, it appears that users will now have to compare the number of subscribers to the likes on the video to ascertain if it’s worth their time especially if it’s a long video.
