The remote is now a touchpad — control playback without looking at the phone: • Gestures: tap to play/pause, swipe or double-tap an edge for ±10 s, hold for info on the glasses. Every gesture answers with haptics. • The phone screen gently fades out while you watch and wakes with a single touch — no unlocking. • Precise seeking: slide your finger above the bar for 25% and 5% scrubbing speed, with a timecode readout. • Glasses are now identified by their actual model name instead of being guessed. • "Auto" aspect ratio: vertical videos no longer stretch; the film's format is detected and remembered per video. • Refreshed design: Liquid Glass on iOS 26, brand accent color, a Stop button. • Fixed: brightness after waking, menu flicker, remote responsiveness.
