HDR10+ Support Not Coming to Apple TV App in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura After All?
Following the WWDC 2022 keynote event on Monday, Apple published iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura Preview pages outlining all of the new features. All three sites listed "HDR10+" support for the Apple TV app as an upcoming feature, but now that mention has been removed.
Apple this morning updated the iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura "All New Features" pages to scrub any mention of HDR10+ support for the Apple TV app. Here's what it said:HDR10+ support
The latest generation of high dynamic range technology is now supported in the Apple TV app.
The removal of the HDR10+ mention from all three sites suggests that the feature is not coming to any version of the TV app after all. There is a chance that Apple could re-add this as a feature in the future, but for now, it looks like those who were anticipating the HDR10+ support feature will not be getting it in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura.

That's a bummer
:(
It really sucks that they don't support some of these standards.Not really. HDR10+ only exists because of Samsung, and it's not anywhere near as good as DV, which Apple already supports. Its name confuses customers who can't differentiate it from HDR, and it segments the market.
what is it and why do we need this? (and which devices would support it?)It's an advanced form of HDR that competes with Dolby Vision. Samsung TVs are the primary promotor of HDR+.
Here is a basic breakdown of the differences, courtesy of rtings ('https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/hdr10-vs-dolby-vision').

HDR10+ is sometimes the only dynamic HDR available. See this lengthy list. ('https://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/everything-on-amazon-prime-video-in-hdr10-dolby-vision-andor-dolby-atmos/42831') By refusing to support it, you’re back down to HDR10 (static HDR).
TVs that support both formats have an advantage, and you'll see content in their proper dynamic format.Apple screwed up by not including both formats.
Hulu uses HDR10+. On ATV 4K, you can only get basic HDR10.
Paramount+ uses HDR10+. On ATV 4K, you’re degraded down to HDR10.
Add Prime Video, Google Play, and YouTube as HDR10+ services.
It’s not as cut and dry as you’re claiming. All modern TVs (and thus content players) should include both.
what is it and why do we need this? (and which devices would support it?)It was an alternative to Dolby Vision that Samsung pushed, not many TVs supported it. If your TV supports HDR10 and DV you have nothing to gain. Samsung, Panasonic TVs (not sold in the USA) have it, but then Panasonic also supports DV.
It was an alternative to Dolby Vision that Samsung pushed, not many TVs supported it. If your TV supports HDR10 and DV you have nothing to gain. Samsung, Panasonic TVs (not sold in the USA) have it, but then Panasonic also supports DV.To be fair, Samsung is likely more visible because it supports HDR10+ exclusively on its TVs.
HDR10+ as a standard is bigger than Samsung, though.
Amazon, 20th Century Fox, Panasonic, and Samsung together updated the base universal HDR10, which Apple supports.
Apple just never implemented the update. :(
HDR10+ has relatively wide backing: Blackmagic, Arm Ltd., Onkyo, Broadcom, Google, Plex, Qualcomm, Technicolor, Warner Brothers, Mediatek, Unisoc, etc.
