Any word yet if the 2nd Generation iPad Pros can playback the 4K HDR content from iTunes? Would LOVE this!!!!!
Got a tip for us?

I’m on a 2017 non Pro 2017 iPad here running iOS 11 Gold Master from the public beta. I’m seeing the Dolby Vision logo on my iTunes purchase of Fantastic Beasts. I’m not aware of support for Dolby Vision outside of Apple TV 4K in the Apple eco system. Will be interested to see if and how the current gen iPad Pro handles this as I was already considering upgrading to one.
[doublepost=1505298798][/doublepost]Also seeing The Martian as HDR (presumably HDR10 as opposed to Dolby Vision)

It looks like HDR iTunes content is downloadable/playable on the iPad Pros! Found this in the settings on the GM!

Very curious my copy of the Martian isn’t showing the HDR tag yet

I’m seeing my HDR tag on The Martian via the UK store if that’s any help
And excellent find on the HDR switch in settings; just need clarification via playback from someone’s im sold and putting in an order
Great - looks like USA isn’t enabled yet, the OS does look like it is ready to play that content on iPads which is awesome!
The A9 is the oldest SOC that had a 4K decoder, so any "Pro" iPad or entry 2017 iPad should be able to support it.
Makes sense since the oldest iPhone to shoot 4K is the 6S (which had an A9) and the last Apple TV did not support 4K because it was running off an A8.

We should try to get a list going of 4k/hdr movies.
Temepted to try Martions since I’ve been reading this thread.
Found the download HDR setting.
And Martion hdr via movies store.
Considerations...

The rich deep oranges of the Martian surface coupled with the equally deep black but still detailed shadows impresses. Lego Batman Movie pushes the hole HDR (Dolby Vision in this case) into the eye searing, intentionally of course.
Just need Blade Runner HDR on iTunes now
I’ve bought Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman just for this and they look fantastic on the 10.5. The action sections with fire especially.
Are these HDR movie rentals currently showing HDR via ipp pro
Tempted to rent a movie -maybe Ghost in the shell.
Have watched a few trailers.
