There has been other reporting about this going back to last fall. I don't think Fuchsia is the marketing name.

That's very kind, thank you. And yeah, you guessed right - I was an industry analyst for four years.

Fair point! Just fixed that, thanks. I had only meant that Flutter was not originally intended for Andromeda, as far as I can tell :)

Thanks for the kind words. I debated that sentence, but you're right - always avoid double negatives. I'll fix it now.

Without diving into the details, RGBW is actually worse than RGB on technical merit. For TVs, the panels are so large that yields are terrible, so they often have to use a white subpixel as a quality compromise.

The UHD spec supports both P3 and Rec.2020. With SMPTE ST-2084, it's thankfully not an issue at all.

I discovered through relevant contacts that that's not actually true.

Nah, it's both 10-bit and dithered, promise. See the Apple reference documentation I just posted above. You can tell by comparing a test image across the 4K and 5K iMacs. I first discovered this by doing that comparison at an Apple Sto

It seems like the wallpapers on the new 9.7" iPad Pro are Adobe RGB (displayed as P3). Beyond that, there's probably nothing that the average user can notice yet, at least until iTunes UHD content comes this year or next year.
