YouTube Premium, which strips the ads out of YouTube, is always getting new perks to make its monthly price sting less. YouTube needs to deliver those treats more than ever now, following its recently announced price hike to $13.99 per month (which even hits those who were grandfathered into better deals).

A new and improved “enhanced bitrate” version of the 1080p video quality feed, which first hit iPhones in April, is finally available to all Premium subscribers — at least on the web, Chromecast and video game consoles (sorry Android folks, they can't have forgotten about you). This news broke from The Verge, which cited YouTube spokesperson Paul Pennington.
