YouTube Premium just became much better value for iOS subscribers.

YouTube Premium just became a much better value for its iOS app users as it has finally launched its new higher-quality video option for all subscribers on iPhone.

After experimenting with different video options over the past few months – including briefly locking 4K video access behind a paywall – YouTube has settled on launching 1080p Premium as an addition to its existing options. This enhanced bitrate version of 1080p promises to be “extra crisp and clear” according to YouTube’s blog post, giving Premium members access to less-compressed videos.

Thankfully it looks like regular 1080p videos won’t see a reduction in quality for non-paying YouTube users, and 4K video is still free for everyone; however, this announcement isn’t all good news.

For one, you'll only be able to take advantage of the higher bitrate videos if you have a strong enough internet connection – and they’ll eat into more of your data plan than lower-quality videos too. For another, there’s no word yet on when the higher bitrate format will come to Premium subscribers using Android phones, but web users should get access to 1080p Premium “soon.”

If you are an YouTube Premium subscriber on Android, you aren’t missing out on every new feature.

Whether you watch YouTube on an Android phone, one of the best iPhones, or the web, Premium subscribers will now get access to a Continue Watching feature. YouTube already lets you pick up videos where you left off – and even has a dedicated section that shows you all your part-watched videos for channels you subscribe to – but this new Continue Watching feature will streamline the process of finding unfinished content. Now, when you open up the YouTube app after pausing a video partway through on the web it’ll automatically tee up the video at the bottom of the screen.

Another nifty tool for those of you who love watching YouTube while out and about is Smart Downloads. If you turn this feature on, YouTube will automatically download videos it thinks you’ll love while you're on Wi-Fi, then you can later watch these recommended vids without having to worry about burning through your data limit. The only downside is that Smart Downloads will likely eat into your phone’s storage space – so we’d recommend only turning it on if you have the gigabytes to spare.

Last but not least, YouTube recently added new watch-together features, so you and your friends can enjoy a video at the same time no matter where in the world you all are. On Android, this is done through Meet Live Sharing, which allows a Premium subscriber to set up a Google Meet session where people they invite can watch YouTube videos together – and best of all, you don’t need Premium to join the session, only to set it up. In the coming weeks, a similar tool should be coming to FaceTime on iOS too.

We reached out to Rich and his team at Computer Geek in July 2021. We were in desperate need of help because our former website design agency left us hanging with major website issues that needed immediate attention. Rich and his team were extremely helpful and quick to come to our rescue! They have helped us with numerous projects that have helped our SEO. Our sales have increased 30% since coming to Computer Geek. We've been working with them for about nine months now and are very pleased with their response time and helpful manner. Rich has proven himself to be trustworthy and dependable. We feel valued as a customer and look forward to continuing a relationship with Computer Geek.

I would certainly like to recommend that anyone pursing maintenance for a website to contact The Computer Geek. I have been using another company to do some maintenance on my site with moderate success. There were issues that were evidently beyond what could be handled by them. However, the professionals at The Computer Geek had them addressed and rectified in no time at all. The Computer Geek approached all of my requests focusing on my goals and the needed performance. Then, once versed, presented me with a very reasonable price. Once the projects were in motion, I found that the tasks were achieved before I expected, with professional results. Also, in one instance where The Computer Geeks brought an issue to my attention that I would have likely overlooked. This was accompanied by a recommendation on how to solve the issue. Overall The Computer Geeks exceeded my expectations!

A note to let you know how much I appreciate your team's work. Justin is on top of quickly solving any issues, making changes, reliable. Finding you was one of the luckiest days of my 74 years. I'd be honored if you'd add me to your list of references. And please stay healthy and in business. I got enough headaches from other folks.

We discovered an issue with our Oscommerce cart processing images. It is about 14 years old and heavily modified. Looking on google for some expert help I found Rich and reached out to him. We received a response the same day. The next day his team was working on our issue and was able to solve it within a few hours. Price was reasonable and we are very appreciative to find a competent and professional oscommerce expert to help successfully troubleshoot our issue.

I'm very new to the whole idea of having a website / blog. I used Bluehost.com and WordPress.org to create Thepredatorhunter.com and then managed to wreck it. On a Sunday morning I opened chat box with Rich and within a few hours everything was fantastic! This isn't just a company for big biz, if your new and small, The Computer Geek can help you out. In trouble? Stop fretting and start typing in the chat box. You will be glad you did!
