It looks like Netflix has finally listened to its subscribers and introduced 2 helpful features on its TV app. One of the more annoying things about subtitles on the Netflix TV app was that it was too large and sometimes, difficult to read. But worry no longer as the streaming giant has now issued an update to the app which gives users a bit more control over how they view subtitles and closed captions.  Netflix has taken a bit of criticism from its subscriber base and the media because of its rather illogical password-sharing limitations that were recently introduced in countries like the US, Canada and more. And while more user-friendly features are welcomed, the company has a long way to go to win back support.  So, what can users expect with these updates? Netflix's new customizable subtitles and closed caption features Change text size and font: Users can now change the size of the subtitles on the Netflix Tv app. You have three options to choose from, namely small, ...

Just how good is the iPhone 14 Pro’s camera prowess? Digit’s Test Centre has had no qualms in hailing Apple’s iPhone as the de-facto video benchmark for gauging every other smartphone’s video chops for the better part of a decade. Circa 2023, the time has come for even the best in Bollywood to stake their reputations on the iPhone’s video capabilities. ‘Fursat’, a sci-fi time-travelling Bollywood-style musical by acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Ishaan Khattar and Wamiqa Gabbi, is the latest proof of this endeavour. Far from a hobbyist or amateur production, and certainly, beyond any of Apple’s iPhone video ads, Fursat is Bollywood’s first non-commercial movie shot completely on an iPhone — the iPhone 14 Pro — and produced entirely by Apple India. It’s a homage to the iPhone 14 Pro’s cutting-edge video capabilities, performing at the highest levels of filmmaking in all its unrestrained glory.  In fact, the iPhone 14 Pro is the invisible star act of Fursat, which ...

A new Amazon Prime subscription tier is currently under test in India. The report first came from a website named OnlyTech and was later corroborated by Gadgets360. Aptly named Amazon Prime Lite, the new Prime plan could come at ₹999 membership price and offer a trimmed-down list of benefits. Here’s what that could include: Amazon Prime Lite vs Amazon Prime: What’s different? First of all, Amazon Prime Lite could cost ₹999 a year which was the earlier annual subscription price of the regular Amazon Prime membership. The latter is now costlier at ₹1499 and perhaps the ₹999/year Prime Lite plan could be to attract those users who are hesitant to pay up. The ₹999 Amazon plan could offer an ad-supported SD Prime Video experience. As for other missing features, Amazon Prime Lite doesn’t bundle Prime Music subscription, Prime Gaming, free eBooks, and no-cost EMI option while shopping on the Amazon India website. So, while you are getting a cheaper plan, you are losing out on some importa...
