    Was kind of hoping they'd add back the optical connector or a second HDMI output to allow connection to the A/V receiver without having to use the receiver as a switcher for all sources. Oh well.
    I just run my TV’s optical output to my receiver and never have to switch anything on it. All HDMI inputs go to the tv and out over optical regardless of input. Why would you need a second HDMI output on the ATV?
    Doing that will relegate your sound to the limitations of your tv. If your tv supports only stereo, that's what you're going to get. To get full fidelity sound, always connect the source to your receiver directly.

    I'm not sure how the author can claim that iPhone X is "designed for 2 handed use" if some/many of us can still use it one handed.
    Because there is no reason to reach up and touch the bezel above the iPhone 6/6s/7/8 display, because it is not a part of the screen. Same reason the lock button moved to the side and is no longer at the top — because you're not meant to reach up there when holding it one-handed. The iPhone X display is considerably larger (4.7" vs 5.8"), meaning you have to actually reach farther to touch the top of the display. Despite the fact that the dimensions are similar, there is more screen to reach (even moreso if you are reaching the top-opposite corner one-handed).

    To be clear, I'm not saying it's impossible or unusable one-handed. But these changes make it clear that two-handed is the preferred way to use the iPhone X — it was designed with two-handed use in mind.
    To add to that, all iPhone X videos show 2 handed use- to pull down the notification shade or the control center. I'm especially upset about the control center. It was supposed to be a quick way to do stuff single handedly. Now it's the same as an android that requires you to go all the way to the top to do anything.
