You may have noticed Apple mentioned during the last keynote support for 4K editing on the iPad Pro and the iPhone 6s. That app was iMovie and it has now been updated to support the higher 4K resolution.

The new iMovie supports up to 3840×2160 editing on the new iPad Pro, iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. On the iPad Pro you can edit three 4K streams at the same time. You can also export videos in 1080p60 now. The 6s and 6s Plus also get 3D Touch shortcut to start video a new film from the homescreen. On the iPad Pro, you get a full height media browser and 1:1 viewer for 1080p videos.

Other features include shortcuts for physical keyboard (such as the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard), option to hide Media Browser while editing, option to disable Ken Burns animation on photo, redesigned Project Details view to watch files before opening them, redesigned Video view, improved inspector on iPad, support for Slide Over and Split View in iOS 9 on the iPad, redesigned Audio browser, performance and stability improvements, and support for additional languages such as Canadian French, Hindi, and Traditional Chinese.

Nextbit adding a Verizon option to successful Robin phone Kickstarter campaign

Posted on by

Nextbit, the company founded by former Google and HTC employees, has had a solid response to their Robin smartphone on Kickstarter with over a million dollars in funding so far.

If you need a refresher, the Robin is trying to capitalize on the rising interest in solid mid-range offerings, much like Motorola and perhaps now HTC. Unlike some of the other competitors in this space, it seems that Nextbit isn’t cutting too many spec corners with the Robin as it offers NFC, a fingerprint reader, and quick charging. This is in addition to the real magic that they are pushing with the 100GB of cloud storage that is included with every device, which will supposedly balance your on-device storage and prevent you from basically ever running out of space.

However, one feature that was missing from the initial launch was availability on one of the biggest carriers in the U.S., Verizon. This Friday that will be rectified, and a new version of the Robin supporting Verizon bands will be available, with early bird units at just $299 and then $349 for the duration of the Kickstarter. Unfortunately, this is not an update to the original hardware, but a separate SKU, so don’t make plans to bring your Verizon Robin over to AT&T or T-Mobile later. There is also no word on a Sprint model, but that’s an understandable omission for the start-up.

If you are interested in getting in on that early bird discount for the Verizon Robin, you need to have your Kickstarter trigger finger ready at noon Central time tomorrow.

Have any of you backed the Robin already or for you Verizon customers are you going to jump on board?
