I own a Fire TV paired with an Echo Dot, so I basically have the same feature set as the Cube minus the IR blaster stuff. I also own an Apple TV 4K 32 GB. Some of this article is just harping on preferences, but some parts show a lack of understan…

JosephAU said: “The Cube does gain some pluses for being able to turn the TV on” The ATV can turn on the TV as well. As soon as I push a button on its remote the TV turns on and Siri can turn the Tv on too by saying play on Apple TV That's…

Is this an Apple site or a Kindle Fire site? Oh yeah, the Kindle Fire is potentially a threat to a beloved Apple product. Therefore anything potentially negative about it must be reported immediately. *sigh* Like I've commented previously, I h…

I'm on to page #2 and find another inaccuracy... Quote: Again, iOS users will be dismayed to find that there's no touch and hold gesture that makes app icons jiggle until you finish moving them around to organize them the way you'd like. No,…

Quote: You can, however, disconnect the Fire from the account it shipped with and set it up to use a separate Amazon account (unlike previous Kindles, which were hardwired to your Amazon account). What!? This is absolutely wrong. I have a Kindle…
