whether you love apple hate them or feel nothing at all they do a great job of

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:12.800
capturing the imagination of would-be tech buyers with sexy sounding branding

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.240
like liquid retina xdr one of the major

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:19.920
features that they're pushing with their new macbook pro lineup but what the heck

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:22.560
does liquid retina xdr mean is it just

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.880
more marketing fluff or is there more to it

00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:29.760
let's start by quickly talking about what a retina display is you probably

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.920
first heard the term quite a while ago as apple's been using it since the days

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:38.320
of the iphone 4 and all it means is that the display has a pixel density that is

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.879
high enough that you can't make out individual pixels at a normal viewing

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:47.120
distance so really just about any display is a retina display if you're

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.559
sitting far enough away from it though of course pixel density is still

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:54.320
important if you're holding a phone close to your face or sitting ARM's

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.199
length away from your laptop apple then started using the term liquid

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:04.559
retina in 2018 with the release of the iphone 10r but the iphone 10r was

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:08.400
actually a lower priced model within the iphone 10 lineup so

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.200
liquid retina was just a cool way of saying that the phone had a relatively

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:18.799
bog standard liquid crystal or lcd screen similar to what you'd find in

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.320
completely average tvs or monitors so is

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:24.479
the new liquid retina xdr on the 2021

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:27.520
macbook pros and ipad pros just more marketing hype it turns out the answer

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.280
is not quite the xdr stands for extreme

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:38.000
dynamic range and after we get through the mandatory eye roll over the use of x

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:42.880
for extreme it turns out that apple has put some really interesting tech into

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:47.520
these new displays for deeper blacks and crisper colors meister task is an easy

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.920
to use intuitive visual collaboration tool for task and project management you

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.920
can get organized with a simple kanban style overview of all of your tasks and

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:59.840
users are able to collaborate and work together more effectively as all files

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.840
information and documents related to the task can be stored in one centralized

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.040
place you can add as many users to your projects as you need and naturally

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.360
interact with them using comments mentions and reactions so align your

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.360
team like never before with meister task using the link in the video description

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:20.319
probably the most important improvement apple brought to liquid retina xdr is

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.599
the array of mini leds that backlight the display

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:28.800
all lcd screens need a backlight to function but nicer displays tend to have

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:33.680
more and brighter leds for their backlights that allow finer control over

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:38.560
smaller areas of the screen this allows them to be made dimmer to deepen shadows

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:43.680
or to be made brighter to make bright details pop the liquid retina xdr

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:48.400
display in the ipad pro has more than 10 000 mini leds backlighting it organized

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:53.040
into nearly 2600 individual dimming zones and this is all fit into a

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:56.800
relatively small tablet screen meaning that apple had to custom engineer its

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:02.000
own manufacturing methods because packing so many tiny leds into a small

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:07.519
space is a pretty delicate operation but the result is a display that can for

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.720
supported content get to a thousand nits

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:12.959
across the screen and 1600 nits in

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.640
smaller areas that's a high number for any display but it's especially

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.400
impressive for a mobile device that has to run on battery and it's something

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.319
that might be a selling point for folks who want to watch HDR content on their

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:30.560
laptop or tablet assuming they have deep enough pockets but mini led as cool as

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:33.599
it is still isn't quite as good in terms

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.680
of contrast as an OLED display which has

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.920
individual pixels that produce their own light and rumors are flying that apple

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:44.640
may transition to OLED for some of its future ipad models like they've already

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.959
done on the iphone but considering that OLED is an expensive difficult to

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.560
produce technology that typically can't get as bright as melee led not to

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:56.480
mention the fact that oleds can suffer from burning if you leave ui elements on

00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:02.159
the screen for long enough we might be seeing liquid retina xdr and its mini

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:06.159
leds on apple products for quite a while maybe they'll sell it to us with a less

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:10.879
gimmicky name down the road but i wouldn't really bet on it thanks for
