I’ve noticed similar “mini” news stories trickle out after Apple’s announcements. Does this happen organically, or does PR drop tidbits like this to select sources?

It seems like a very specific thing for a reporter to ask and find out about.

Does this mean better motion response times? The M-series MacBook Pro displays have notoriously smeary displays while displaying high-motion content, so this would be a welcome addition.

I don’t care how much they improve the CPUs, not upgrading before OLED

Is there more to the thread or just this one tweet/X thing? Response times notoriously suck on MacBooks, it would be nice to see that remedied, anecdotally it doesn't seem like that's happened yet.

Edit: Nevermind, same tweet seems to have been quoted across a bunch of different other news sites. Apparently Blur Busters claims an improvement, I'll try it out and see how it is in some other contexts.

Who manufactures their displays? I'm guessing they have more influence in the design or manufacturing than most players, but is this just a matter of them telling Samsung/LG/etc "ok, we're going to use your quantum dot displays now"?

Ah yes, the classic disjointed graphs with unknown y-axis scales.

High failure rate on those displays, calling it now.

I love how apple has lots of these silent innovations. They work hard giving us great products.

What if there was a place with all the zip of Nuka-Cola?

Wouldn’t that be the cheer-cheer-cheeriest place in all the world?

Where the rivers’ made of quantum and the mountaintops are fizz

With fun and games and rides for all the moms and pops and kids!

P.S. I have no idea what quantum or any of their terms mean. This is the closest that comes to my mind. Great marketing, I guess, or not.

the stock price forces them to "innovate" lol

Interesting. As I understand it, shifting the red curve to shorter wavelengths, even by a seemingly small amount, would improve visibility. And something I've learned is that red vision varies by a fair amount from person to person.
