Apple secretly included quantum dot tech in the M4 MacBook Pro’s display

Apple's latest M4-powered MacBook Pro is a pretty stellar laptop. We gave it a score of 92 in our review, due in part to its great screen. The display is brighter this time around, peaking at 1,000 nits for SDR (standard dynamic range) content and 1,600 nits for HDR material. However, there's another aspect of the screen about which Apple has strangely been keeping mum.As noted by display expert Ross Young, Apple used a quantum dot (QD) film instead of a red KSF phosphor film on the display.

Apple Intelligence is now available with iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1

The wait is finally over. Apple Intelligence is making its proper debut with the public releases of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 today. Typically, point-one versions of Apple operating systems add minor features and fix bugs, but this year it brings a major update since Apple Intelligence features weren't quite ready in time for the rollout of iOS 18.

Those with older devices are likely to find…

Previously this was an accessibility setting, which Apple has…
