New MacBook Pro models limited to HDMI 2.0
I guess it was a missed opportunity. However, for presentations and the like, how much does 4K @120Hz matter? I am assuming that most projectors would currently max out at HD resolution. -
Apple releases tvOS 16 with Matter support, HDR10+ & other minor updates
mystigo said:> New rich previews for Apple TV+ content to boost discovery
Yay more spoilers with audio. My favorite part about HBO scaling back support for their App is that it does not preroll the episode or play any audio while surfing. That makes my blood boil on Netflix. I am always scrambling for the mute button and trying to get to the show I want as quickly as possible so it isn't ruined for me before I start. If i had to choose between the two services, the absence of pre-rolling would tilt me 100% to HBO. -

New Apple TV Siri Remote incompatible with some tvOS games
One of Apple's biggest missteps with gaming was the requirement that games for the Apple TV should be playable using the Siri Remote. I speculate that the requirement pretty much killed any complex games from being developed and destroyed the potential of the Apple TV for games.
I can understand that it didn't make sense for Apple to allow for games on the Apple TV, but not have any dedicated first-party controller - hence them deciding to set the Siri Remote as the official controller.
It may have been better for them to have debuted Apple TV games with a dedicated game controller.
Of course the have access to all the data points they need and I guess it didn't make sense for them to make a controller. -

Just what we needed: another Apple dongle, this time for USB-C to Lightning
AI opinions have gone from "snark" to "whine" now. So Apple released an adapter since they are changing the connector on the best selling electronics gizmo in history. Is it not warranted? Is everyone being forced to buy one, or is it an option to ensure Lightning accessories can continue to function for some more time before they are replaced?
If it's "just what you needed", then buy it and stop whining. JFC!
