Bloomberg reports that developers were told by Nintendo to target 4K resolution

Don’t get me wrong; we’re excited about Nintendo’s new OLED Switch — the number of preorders in The Verge newsroom confirms it. But what about the more powerful Switch that so many of us thought was around the corner? A new Bloomberg report suggests that the global chip shortage is why plans fell through for a “Switch Pro” with upgraded hardware from Nvidia and 4K resolution.
The outlet, which previously reported on the device, backs up those reports by saying it’s identified at least 11 developers, naming only Zynga, who have received 4K Nintendo Switch development kits. Specifically, Bloomberg claims employees heard from Nintendo that they should design games to target the higher resolution.
In response, Nintendo told Bloomberg its reporting was “inaccurate” without specifying which parts. After we published this story, Nintendo went on to categorically deny the entire report. On Thursday morning, Zynga spokesperson Sarah Ross also denied the report, saying in a statement to Bloomberg and Kotaku, “To clarify, Zynga does not have a 4K developer kit from Nintendo.”
A more powerful Switch reportedly won’t go on sale before late 2022
These reporters tend to focus on supply chain issues and identified a particular component that Nintendo needs as having supplies completely booked through 2025. That doesn’t mean that the Switch Pro dream is completely dead, but Bloomberg’s sources say that if an upgraded model appears, it won’t go on sale before late 2022, at the earliest.
As it is, Nintendo gave gamers some of the things we hoped for with the Switch OLED — smaller bezels, a better stand, and that sweet screen. Plus, it just unleashed Bluetooth headphone support via a software update. Is that enough to make up for the missing 4K and no apparent changes to the Joy-Cons? It will have to be since Nintendo has “no plans” for launching another model.
Update, 8:36PM ET: Nintendo has now categorically denied this report, a rare move, though we aren’t entirely buying it.
Update, September 30th, 9:56AM ET: Added statement from Zynga denying possession of a 4K developer kit from Nintendo.

蘋果今(17)日向用戶釋出iOS 14及iPadOS 14新版作業系統,讓不少果粉們歡呼終於等到了,但在開發者社群中則是截然不同的氣氛。蘋果「今天宣布明天上線」的舉動殺得開發者們措手不及,有不少人在推特抱怨更本來不及修改程式碼。
從用戶的角度看,蘋果在秋季發表會的隔日釋出作業系統更新是一個意外的驚喜,但對iOS開發人員來說則是「驚嚇」,因為他們不得不在iOS 14發布前即時編輯、測試並提交新版App。
Halide Camera聯合創辦人、蘋果前設計師Sebastiaan de With就在推特發文道出所有開發者的心聲:
iPhone user seb: “oh hell yeah ios 14 is coming tomorrow”
Developer seb: “oh my god what the fuck”
▲iPhone用戶:歐耶!iOS 14明天上線! 開發者:噢天啊!WTF!
開發人員Jesse Squires甚至在部落格發布文章「為什麼蘋果像個渾蛋?」(Why is Apple acting like an Asshole?)痛批蘋果近期的行為,包括下架Hey.com及修訂App Store規則等。
「鑑於蘋果與開發人員之間的關係日趨脆弱,我不明白現在像這樣渾蛋的行為是怎麼對他們(蘋果)有利。更不用說,他們甚至不可能即時查看所有App提交的內容。」Jesse Squires指出自己完全沒有被重視的感覺,iOS 14突然發布,事前卻並未通知開發人員,「再一次破壞了彼此的信任,令人失望。」
傳統上,蘋果9月的發表會對開發人員來說是相當重要的一天,因為蘋果將釋出最新作業系統的「GM版」(Golden Master),據iOS開發人員Rhys Morgan的說法,GM版大概有99%與用戶版本相同,離正式版則會有一周的時間,讓開發者還有時間可以調整並解決問題。
目前已有幾款App出面警告用戶,若想繼續正常地使用App暫時還不要更新至iOS 14,如
