  • Apple releases fifth tvOS 10.2.2 developer beta to developers

    Is anything new in tvOS 11?

    if not, then WHY? Just make it tvOS 10.4 or something.

    Cook said to watch for more info in the future. Here's hoping a new AppleTV is announced with ARKit and better graphics for the real tvOS 11.

  • Inventec allegedly tapped for Apple's rumored standalone Siri speaker product

    Apple acquired technology that is years beyond the competitors. Maybe they're waiting to unleash it for a new product or at least iOS 11.

    This is not necessarily an indicator of the number of actual users of the two services.

    I love streaming music but dislike Drake.

    Maybe Spotify users just don't like Drake.
    Can't be. He broke a record on Spotify also.

     I'm not a fan and a lot of his lyrics suck but this album has my attention now. Must stream on Apple Music.

    It still boggles my mind why they don't have an AppleTV that supports 4K! 4K TV's were one of the most popular gifts this past holiday season and yet they have an AppleTV that only supports 1080p. Maybe there's little to no content for 4K yet, but if it doesn't at least support it, I see people turning away from this or buying it only to realize its not 4K and returning it for something else that does. 

    I would think something like the A10X would support 4K resolutions at 60fps. 

    This product has the potential to do so much more and yet it just seems to sit there stagnate. This really could be one of the bigger things Apple does if they put some time and effort into it. It shouldn't be a "hobby" anymore for them. 

    Problem is it shipped with an outdated A8 chip.

    No, the ATV is not mediocre. As a platform it's great. the apps are solid. Plex is killer. TV app with single sign on is for sure the future of watching TV, I'd never use a cable box again. The remote has room for improvement, but swipe-scrubbing is way better than button cycling. The instant-thumbnails during scrubbing is a first. Siri controls such as "what did he say?" for instant rewind + temporary closed captions is a killer feature, and Siri searches for content and apps is great. And using my AirPods at night is nice. 

    So no, nothing mediocre about it. 

    It's great for streaming content especially if you don't own a smart TV. 

    But I don't understand why they added gaming if it's barely capable of running 2006 Wii quality games at a decent frame rate. 

    Don't underestimate the console market. A lot of people only have a console and have zero interest in an additional streaming device.
