The link focuses on the Apple TV app, but it's also coming to Fire TV and Google TV this week as well.

Amazon Prime Video redesign coming to Apple TV later this week, iOS later this year

It was almost two weeks ago, where's the update?

I got the updated version on Roku yesterday. It's a huge improvement. I was gonna ask what platform you were using, but I saw in your sig, Apple TV. Maybe another Apple user will chime in.

I'm from Europe, maybe it will be in US first?

Apple TVOS has not updated.

XBox has updated - it now behaves like the Netflix and AppleTV app: if you have HDR10 then everything will be output as HDR10. Before, no 4K HDR support. Now, forced HDR for SDR content. No 4K, HDR, or HD tags in this app.

Google TV/Android TV - swaps properly between SDR and HDR content. You can properly see what is tagged as 4K, HDR, and HD.

That's interesting, I believe every article said that the app on Apple TV will get the update first.

I don't have it on Roku. Same as it was here.

I do not understand why this is a thing within Apple TV.

Apparently, Peacock can do 4K HDR as show in the app, but not on Apple TV. Now Prime Video is able to project a 4K HDR image, but only for Amazon-exclusive shows and movies (not counting MGM). Everything else is a coin-toss: a movie CAN list it can do 4K HDR, but it can't output as such (Tried "The Northman" and "Licorice Pizza"; don't work). And there's no way for me to know if I'm watching a true 4K image or a 1080p image that my device upscaled, because my AppleTV can only output at the resolution I picked by default (it used to switch resolutions; not sure when it stopped).

It's a stickler for me.
