PS4 UPDATE SEES CHANGES ON APP ICON....NOT ALOT THOUGH

The latest firmware update for PlayStation 4 is now live, bringing with it a handful of changes, including a new look for the console's various app icons.

While Sony's patch notes for system software update version 4.70 don't specify the change, Polygon noticed several icons, including those for the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Now and PlayStation Vue now feature a flat design. See a comparison of the old and new look below:

In addition to the new icons, update 4.70 "improves system performance" and now allows match results for each player to be viewed in tournaments.

In less than two weeks' time, Sony will offer a peek at what's on the horizon for PS4 owners with its PlayStation E3 Media Showcase. The conference, which will be broadcast live in over 85 theaters across the United States, Canada and Latin America, will take place on Monday, June 12.

YouTube has rolled out high dynamic range (HDR) to users of the iPhone X, enabling improved contrast and color on HDR-enabled YouTube videos. As spotted by Macrumors, videos like those from the popular HDR Channel, are now able to be viewed in HDR mode. Neither the iPhone X nor the Apple TV are able to output the videos in 4K, however. Not to be confused with HDR for photography, high dynamic range for video and TVs expands the range of both contrast and color significantly. Bright parts of the image can get much brighter, so the image seems to have more "depth." Colors get expanded to show more bright blues, greens, reds and everything in between.

YouTube is the latest company to enable HDR for the iPhone X after N

Its grip on the living, breathing world of football via its online platform has entrenched the status quo. Yet PES has sustained a reputation as something bordering on a cult hit, with gameplay that continues to score strongly with audiences. It cannot, though, translate its cultural currency into sales.
